APTIMO Tokyo Review

What is APTIMO? A yogurt specialty store based on the concept of Greek mythology and healthy beauty

The name "APTIMO" is inspired by "Aphrodite," the goddess of beauty in Greek mythology, and the Greek words "Nostimo" (= love, thank you, delicious).

Using carefully selected fruit from Futaba Fruits! Luxurious collaboration with a long-established fruit store

The fruit used in APTIMO comes from Futaba Fruits, a long-established fruit shop established in 1941.
Futaba Fruits has its main store in Nakano Ward, Tokyo, and in addition to being a fruit store with a keen eye for fruit, it is a brand specializing in fruit that is also popular at cafes and events.

The sweetness and freshness of the fruit itself comes to life, and goes perfectly with APTIMO's rich Greek yogurt. It is also a pleasure to have them carefully cut on the spot.

The menu changes daily, but on this day there were a whopping 7 flavors on the lineup!

One of the most popular is the Seasonal Fruit Bowl (¥1,420).

Tasting report: impressive level of richness! Texture like cheese!

Greek yogurt is extremely rich and has a cheesy texture, with the water (whey) removed to the utmost limit.
It is handmade in the store every day using only Hokkaido milk and lactobacillus acidophilus, and is a sweet treat for the body that is high in protein, low in fat, and low in calories.

The ones we had this time were

  • Earl Grey: Elegantly sweet with a soft aroma of black tea
  • Almond Mocha: Slightly bitter and mature taste. The sweetness is pleasantly understated!

The granola was also generously topped with a crunchy texture and savory accent. Granola was also available for sale.

What is also interesting are the stylish plates and cutlery.
The design is simple yet cute and somewhat Scandinavian. We are not sure of the brand name, but the use of tableware is irresistible to those who love interior design.
