“-86 Coffee” The Layer Coffee Experience
As layered “dirty” coffee creations continue trending across Asia, AiFOKATO introduces a refined take on the hot-meets-cold experience through artisanal affogato and the -86 Dirty Coffee. With pour options that let guests choose the mood of their drink, each cup delivers a smooth, layered finish reminiscent of a “dirty latte”, but more indulgent.
First the cold gelato, then the warmth and aroma of the coffee, blending together in your mouth. The first sip begins with an immediate chill from the cold gelato or base, followed by the gentle warmth of the freshly poured coffee. As the layers begin to blend, the texture softens into a creamy, velvety body, where bold coffee notes meet subtle sweetness. The contrast between cold and hot unfolds gradually, creating a balanced, evolving taste that lingers with a smooth, aromatic finish.
Butter Mochi – Korea’s Chewy, Buttery Craze
Meet Butter Mochi, Korea’s viral dessert that’s taking cafés and social media by storm. Each bite delivers a crisp, golden exterior that gives way to a soft, chewy center, infused with a rich, buttery aroma and just the right touch of sweetness. Perfect with affogato or layered coffee drinks, it’s a playful hot-and-cold indulgence. Known as “butter tteok” in Korea, it’s so popular that major convenience stores like CU have rolled it out, with some hitting No. 1 in dessert sales in their first week.
