[Triumphant Return to Sapporo Susukino] Night Parfait Specialty Store 'Parfait Bar &VIGO' to Open on May 15, 2026

CARTON Inc. (Headquarters: Kashiwa, Chiba; CEO: Wataru Sakurai) is pleased to announce the opening of its night parfait specialty store, "Parfait Bar &VIGO," in Susukino, Sapporo, Hokkaido on Friday, May 15, 2026. "Parfait Bar &VIGO" is a specialty night parfait brand that has been expanding mainly in the Tokyo metropolitan area and has continued to grow with accelerated store openings in recent years. This Susukino store holds a symbolic position for the brand, as it is an opening in Sapporo, the "birthplace of the night parfait." What's amazing about "Parfait Bar &VIGO"! ● A new business category of a "Parfait Bar" where you can enjoy parfaits and alcohol at the same time. ● Offers new parfaits supervised by a pastry chef every month. ● A注目 a growing sweets brand expanding nationwide. ■ A "Reverse Import" Opening in Sapporo, the "Birthplace of Night Parfaits" "Night Parfait" is known nationally as a culture born in Susukino, Sapporo. The style of enjoying a parfait after a meal, known as a "shime-parfait," has now spread throughout the country. "Parfait Bar &VIGO," as a brand that has evolved uniquely inspired by that culture, will now open in the home ground of Sapporo in the form of a "reverse import." We will provide a new night parfait experience fused with Sapporo's night culture. ■ Promoting "Night Parfait as a BAR" in the Fiercely Competitive Night Parfait District of Susukino Many night parfait specialty stores are gathered in Susukino, known as one of the most competitive districts in the country. Within this context, the distinctive feature of "Parfait Bar &VIGO" is that it more strongly emphasizes its aspect as a "BAR business centered on parfaits and alcohol." Instead of just a parfait as a "dessert to end the night," we propose a new position as a "store that can be the first stop of the night," not just for a "final stop," through taste design that assumes pairing of parfaits and drinks, and creating a space where you can spend time like in a bar. ■ A New Sensation "Night Parfait" Enjoyed Like a Cocktail A "night parfait" is a dessert enjoyed with alcohol after a meal, or an adult-oriented parfait savored in a bar space. Unlike typical parfaits, it is characterized by a light, less sweet taste and a beautiful composition of layered seasonal fruits, jellies, and creams. You can enjoy a delicate taste, much like a cocktail. ■ Encounter a New Parfait Every Month At "Parfait Bar &VIGO," we offer monthly parfaits supervised by a pastry chef. To make the most of seasonal ingredients, we do not have a grand menu, providing an experience where you can encounter a new taste every time you visit. ■ Prime Location in the Heart of Susukino, Right in Front of the "Nikka Sign" The store is located right in front of the Nikka Whisky sign, a symbol of Susukino. Situated in an area frequented by both tourists and locals, it is a location where you can easily drop by for a "締め" (shime - final stop) after a meal or as a second stop. The store has 22 seats and is designed to be a calm space like a bar. It is a store where you can enjoy your evening time in a relaxed manner. ■ A Parfait Bar for Adults to Enjoy Sweets, Alcohol, and Non-Alcoholic Drinks At our store, we propose a new taste created by the overlap of sweetness and aroma through the pairing of parfaits and drinks. In addition to alcoholic drinks such as wine carefully selected by a sommelier, we also have a full lineup of non-alcoholic drinks such as Japanese black tea, Chinese tea, and original blend coffee. We have a lineup that can be enjoyed by both those who drink alcohol and those who do not. We offer a new way to spend the evening that goes beyond the "shime-parfait." ■ Store Overview Opening Date: Friday, May 15, 2026 Address: Hachinoji Bldg.
