A New Spot for "Late-Night Sweets" Where Young People and Couples Want to Stop by in Takasaki.
Theory Inc. will pre-open **"Kurosumi Shoten Takasaki Store,"** a takeout specialty shop offering night donuts and large-capacity acai bowls, in Takasaki City, Gunma Prefecture, on Friday, June 26, 2026.
*Grand opening is scheduled for Friday, July 3rd.
Kurosumi Shoten Takasaki Store is a takeout specialty shop that operates from 7 PM to 11 PM (until midnight on Fridays and Saturdays), a rare late-night sweets format in the region.
It proposes a **"late-night sweets experience"** for customers stopping by after work, after dinner, during night outings with friends, or on a drive with a partner, differentiating itself from daytime cafe visits.
Especially as the season progresses, more people enjoy going out and driving at night. Kurosumi Shoten Takasaki Store aims to be a store chosen by young people and couples as a **"late-night sweets stop for a drive"** to meet the demand for summer night outings.
A Talked-About Late-Night Sweets Format, Featured on TV in Other Prefectures, Known for SNS Appeal
"Kurosumi Shoten" has approximately 30 stores nationwide and is a popular sweets format known for its SNS appeal, having been featured on TV multiple times in other prefectures.
One of its most popular features is the product experience that is highly photogenic for social media, where a donut is placed on top of a drink for photos.
It is highly compatible with video-centric social media posts on Instagram Reels, TikTok, and Stories, and is positioned as a late-night sweet that makes young people and couples want to take photos.
The Most Popular Item: "Crème Brûlée Donut," Made Freshly After Ordering
One of the signature products at Kurosumi Shoten Takasaki Store is the **"Crème Brûlée Donut,"** with its surface caramelized to a fragrant finish.
To halve the "guilt" of late-night sweets, it is "not deep-fried." Instead, a moist, premium donut dough made with over 10 carefully selected ingredients is used. A smooth cream is added, and the surface is torched to finish, allowing customers to enjoy the crispy, fragrant texture of caramel.
The effort of caramelizing each donut individually with a burner after an order is a labor-intensive cooking process that major donut chains cannot easily replicate, but Kurosumi Shoten insists on this detail.
"Yoru i Bowl" (Night Acai Bowl)
"Yoru i Bowl" (Night Acai Bowl) for Enjoying at Night is Also Available
Kurosumi Shoten Takasaki Store will also offer large-capacity acai bowls that can be enjoyed at night, not just donuts.
They are called "Yoru i Bowl."
These are satisfying sweet bowls that combine the refreshing taste of acai with fruits, chocolate, Greek yogurt, etc., making them easy to eat even at night.
"I want something sweet at night, but I want to avoid anything too heavy."
"I want a healthy sweet I can enjoy after dinner."
"I want something I can share with friends or a partner."
These needs are met by Kurosumi Shoten Takasaki Store's unique, highly satisfying late-night sweets.
A "Drive Spot" That Becomes a Destination, Precisely Because It's a Rare "Night-Specialty" in the Area
While Gunma Prefecture has many cafes and sweet shops enjoyable during the day, there are still few places where people can easily stop by for sweets at night.
Kurosumi Shoten Takasaki Store focuses on this gap and will open as a night-specialty drive spot, enjoyable after 7 PM, that people will visit even if they have to drive an hour.
As a reward for oneself after work.
As a place to enjoy something sweet after dinner.
On a night drive with friends.
As a night outing spot for couples.
It aims to be more than just "a place to eat"; it aims to be a reason to go out at night.

"Black x White x Neon" Worldview in a Kura-Style Building, Creating a Store That Stands Out at Night
The store design features a unique atmosphere and stylish ambiance, blending a Kura-style (traditional Japanese storehouse) monochrome exterior with neon signs, creating a world that is both nostalgic and futuristic. This creates a one-of-a-kind world in Takasaki's nightscape.
The goal is to create a space where not only the products but also the store itself can be captured in photos and videos, encouraging visitors to naturally post on social media.
Kurosumi Shoten Takasaki Store aims to expand its recognition as Takasaki's new late-night sweets spot through:
Products that shine at night
Spaces that shine at night
Experiences that make you want to stop by at night
Ordering and Payment Methods
Orders can be placed in two ways:
① At the store counter
② Uber Eats (Takeout or Delivery)
The Uber Eats app allows for delivery, as well as quick takeout orders. Please note that payments at the store counter are entirely cashless for security reasons.
Representative's Comment
In recent years, the primary way young people discover restaurants is through social media, leading to actual visits. Products and spots with "appeal" and a sense of "specialness or exclusivity" are particularly compatible with Instagram Reels and TikTok, making them strong motivators for visits.
However, with the increasing demand for night outings and drives heading into summer, there's a reality that in Gunma Prefecture, there are few places for young people who have grown tired of existing chain stores and become "drive refugees" to stop by with friends or partners at night.
Against this backdrop of changing times and seasonality, Kurosumi Shoten Takasaki Store aims to be "Gunma's night spot for appeal" as a rare late-night specialty sweets business in the region.
Past examples of store openings in other prefectures have seen initial queues, indicating strong buzz. We welcome coverage from influencers and media professionals.
By creating a drive spot and an appealing spot in Takasaki where young people can easily stop by late at night, we want to liven up Gunma's nights and help create youthful memories.
We would be delighted if our store becomes a regular treat for daily rewards and a staple of enjoyable drives.
