Sapporo’s vibrant cafe scene is a delight for foodies, with many shops offering desserts crafted from Hokkaido’s fresh, high-quality dairy. We’ve rounded up three must-visit cafes in the city where you can enjoy coffee alongside irresistible sweet creations.
1. Yukijirushi Parlor: Superb Ice Cream at a Famous Sapporo Cafe and Sweets Shop!
Yukijirushi Parlor is a cafe operated by a famous Japanese dairy product company Snow Brand. The popular item that attracts many people at this store is the traditional ice cream, Snow Royal.
In 1968 Snow Brand received an order by the Imperial Household Agency to create a “supreme ice cream” for the Showa Emperor for his visit to Hokkaido.
It took Snow Brand two years to create the result, Snow Royal. Since then the ice cream has been sold at the Yukijirushi Parlor Parlor as a limited item.
The ice cream has a smooth texture that softly melts in your mouth. You can also taste the rich milky flavor of the milk, which also offers a very refreshing taste.
At the cafe section in the store, they offer coffee and powdered matcha green tea. You can also purchase ice cream in cups as gifts.
Other than ice cream, they also offer parfaits and cakes made with fresh Hokkaido dairy products, plus light meals such as cheese curry and pasta.
