The number one latte artist in Japan is twenty-six year-old Ozawa Naoko.
She plies her art at Ogawa Coffee, at the corner of Sanjo - Kiyamachi in downtown Kyoto.
In the recent All Japan Latte Art Contest, she beat out candidates from around Japan, winning her second title in a row.
In the final round, Ozawa faced off against 9 other baristas representing other regions of Japan.
In eight minutes, Ozawa created three three types of latte designs using milk: a butterfly, a bird, and a heart. They are indeed works of art.
Ogawa Coffee is not an elegant cafe - think 1970s shiny - and avoid the second floor unless you are a chain smoker, but it boasts Ozawa and at least one other of the best Japanese baristas.
