Piyoring's first ever! "Village Piyoring" with only pudding inside.
While regular Piyoring wraps pudding made with Nagoya Cochin eggs in bavarois, "Village Piyoring" uses only pudding without bavarois. You can directly enjoy the rich flavor of Nagoya Cochin eggs. It's a luxurious Piyoring where the charm of the ingredients stands out precisely because of its simplicity.
Night-only! "Starry Sky Piyoring" appearing after 5 PM.
Rich pudding made with Nagoya Cochin eggs is wrapped in cocoa and chocolate bavarois, and charcoal-infused crumbs inspired by the night sky. It features an adorable visual with a star-shaped chocolate on its head. It's a special night-only Piyoring that can be enjoyed in a different atmosphere from daytime.
Various Piyoring-motif menus.
The cafe offers a wide range of desserts, drinks, and food menus that express the look and taste of Piyoring in various forms. You can see and taste the new charm of Piyoring.
Smooth guidance and introduction of a reservation system.
An automatic ticketing machine will be installed at the cafe entrance for queueing. By scanning the QR code issued with a smartphone, a system will notify customers of their call timing.

Facade expressing Nagoya's uniqueness.
As part of the renovation, the store facade of the Nagoya Station Central Concourse will be renewed. The facade adopts a design incorporating geometric elements with a motif of Nagoya's traditional craft "Arimatsu Shibori". The unevenness unique to Shibori creates shadows from the light, showing different expressions depending on the distance and viewpoint.
