Sapporo is the Kingdom of Sweets, Sapporo Sweets

This place is written as [さっぽろスイーツ] in Japanese.

This initiative to make Sapporo a “kingdom of sweets” began in 2005. Every year, there is an annual competition to create new and unique sweets representing Sapporo. Many innovative confections have been born from this event. In 2009, the Sapporo Sweets Cafe opened, offering a variety of treats from local sweets shops. The cafe is located in Aurora Town, the underground shopping street beneath Odori Park 2-chome.

Sapporo Sweets Cafe

At the Sapporo Sweets Cafe, you have the option to dine in or take away any sweets you desire. Each month, a rotation of five different shops operates within the cafe, offering a variety of sweets under one roof. This unique concept allows visitors to sample different treats and take home their favorites. Participating shops come from Sapporo and beyond, making it possible to encounter familiar favorites while exploring the city.
