Enjoying a parfait as the final act (‘shime’) after drinks or meals—a distinctive Sapporo culinary tradition called ‘Shime Parfait.’
‘Parfait Sato,’ the trailblazer of this shime parfait culture, relocated and reopened in a renewed space on April 26, 2024.
This time, we introduce the newly revamped Parfait Sato along with the pistachio confections from ‘Satodo,’ which are also attracting attention as Hokkaido souvenirs.
The new location features a layout where the first floor houses the pistachio sweets specialty store, Satodo Honten, and the second and third floors are dedicated to Parfait Sato.
On the main floor’s third level, large tables are surrounded by low chairs, designed to be easily accessible for strollers and wheelchairs.
At night, projection mapping is cast onto the tables, displaying beautiful flowers, butterflies, goldfish swimming in a pond, and lace-like patterns.
The second floor features an approximately 12-meter-long counter in a modern Japanese-style ambiance, letting you experience the live assembly of parfaits right in front of you.
While the third floor, enhanced with impressive projection mapping, serves as an ‘entertainment floor,’ this area gives off the impression of an ‘adult floor’ where you can leisurely enjoy your parfait.
Since the second floor includes an outdoor terrace, you can enjoy your parfait in an open space while taking in the lively atmosphere of Odori.
At Parfait Sato, besides offering six classic parfaits—including ‘Salted Caramel and Pistachio’—they also serve seasonal, limited-edition parfaits made with fresh fruits.
The April limited menu ‘Sakura and Strawberry Hazelnut’ features cotton candy designed to resemble a cherry blossom tree for a striking impact!
The tartness of strawberries and the rich flavor of hazelnuts harmonize perfectly, and with textures like salt crumble, it’s a deeply indulgent treat.
Note: As this is a limited edition item, it may no longer be available at the time of this article’s publication.
The regular menu’s ‘Today’s Assorted Pistachio Sweets’ is a dessert medley featuring everything pistachio—from fresh confections to baked treats.
This menu, perfectly suited as a coffee companion, allows you to luxuriate in the sweets sold at the 1st-floor Satodo Honten.
The coffee, made from beans roasted at Sapporo’s popular café ‘roach roaster,’ is prepared through nel drip to deliver an authentically robust flavor.
For the lavish and maturely sweet parfaits, a dark-roasted Italian roast works beautifully, while straight beans from Guatemala or Colombia also help accentuate the depth of flavor in the parfaits.
Additionally, they offer a range of beverages including sparkling wine and whiskey.
The ‘Parfait Sato Indulgence Course,’ which combines drinks, snacks, parfait, and coffee, is also highly recommended.
On the first floor is the pistachio sweets specialty shop, Satodo Honten. Satodo incorporates the experience and know-how honed through parfait making to champion the deliciousness of pistachios as a snack brand.
They sell original sweets crafted with Hokkaido dairy products, wheat, Sato, and red beans, meticulously designed to showcase variations in texture and flavor.
In the showcase, an array of delectable fresh confections—cakes, monaka, butter sand, and more—are displayed, all showcasing pistachios, of course.
Sato-do’s confections, sophisticated in both taste and appearance, are perfect as gifts or for special occasions, and are sure to impress.
Among the sweets available at Satodo Honten, this time we introduce two items that are perfect as Hokkaido souvenirs.
The first item is ‘Hokkaido Kuma Monaka,’ a carved wooden bear monaka generously filled with pistachio paste and ogura bean paste.
It offers a bite as satisfying as its appearance suggests, leaving you mesmerized by its rich pistachio flavor…!
Also noteworthy are the seasonal limited editions, such as the ‘Spring Kuma Monaka’ filled with pistachio paste and sakura bean paste.
The second item is the ‘Kuma Bonbon Chocolat,’ which lets you enjoy three distinct flavors.
Inside the wooden bear, diverse flavors and textures are packed—such as Passion Fruit × Pistachio and Raspberry × Pistachio.
A single bite will surely engulf you in bliss, and with three pieces per pack, it’s the perfect size for a casual souvenir.
The revamped Parfait Sato has not only significantly increased its seating capacity but has also started daytime operations.
Furthermore, the interior has been designed to be accessible for strollers and wheelchairs.
Even if you haven’t had the chance to visit during the evenings with children, be sure to stop by after lunch or during café hours.
