Limited time only! The Snow Miku collaboration parfait, "Shimaenaga ~Snow Ver.~" (2,580 yen)

While you can enjoy a new parfait with every visit, the one to watch for this winter is the "Shimaenaga ~Snow Ver.~," a collaboration between the shop's symbol, the Shimaenaga (long-tailed tit), and Snow Miku, the character that supports Hokkaido. Snow Miku's pale hair color is represented by green apple guimauve (a type of marshmallow), while the Shimaenaga is crafted from a light milk gelato. The harmony with a subtle tartness is exquisite. Furthermore, it rests on a base of crumbled white genoise (sponge cake), offering a gentle sweetness that melts in your mouth.

The parfait comes with a coaster (randomly selected from 7 designs) and a pick featuring an illustration of Snow Miku (2013 costume design). Be sure to experience this "delicious collaboration" that showcases the skill of one of Hokkaido and Sapporo's representative parfait shops.
