At Daimaru in Fuchu Station, I went up to the 8th floor looking for something to eat, but all the popular restaurants had long lines and I didn't feel like waiting. So, I decided to head towards the main street and as I was about to go down to the first floor, I saw this item at this shop and immediately bought it! It was "Smoked Pistachios" (795 yen). When I tried it at home, it was even more delicious than I expected. The smoked flavor and saltiness paired perfectly with beer. I regret not buying more. I love pistachios, but these were exceptionally good! "Sato" is a well-known shop that is considered a pioneer in "ending parfait" dishes. I'm not interested in ending parfaits and they are expensive, so I usually don't feel tempted. But this item was really delicious! I will definitely go back to buy more. Thank you, Sato!

On the 8th floor of Daimaru department store, there is a shop that specializes in pistachios. The shop was bustling, so I didn't have time to go inside and instead bought two "Hokkaido Kumamonaka" without entering. Inside the skin, there is a monaka shaped like a bear holding a salmon in its mouth. The bear looks more like a wooden carving than realistic. When cut in half around the body, there was a generous filling of Sicilian Bronte's highest quality pistachio paste and smooth red bean paste. It was light and easy to eat monaka.

I arrived just after 12 o'clock. Since it was lunchtime, Sato was not crowded. I was seated right away. Here, it's one order per person. The seasonal fruit parfait for 1755 yen caught my eye as I'm not a fan of cherry blossom or pistachio. My eldest son ordered the strawberry and pistachio warabi mochi sundae set with a drink for 1484 yen, and my youngest son chose the strawberry and cheese for 2082 yen. Soon, the beautifully presented parfaits arrived, and I was overwhelmed with happiness. The two sorbets were strawberry and orange, with a hint of vanilla. The parfait was refreshing yet rich, filled with plenty of fruits and incredibly delicious. It was a blissful moment. My sons also shared a bit of each other's, enjoying a variety of flavors. They even had fresh sweets available. It's a popular and well-known shop, located in Daimaru. I'm glad I came here! Sapporo has many specialty shops for finishing parfaits, but they only open in the evening, so I was grateful to enjoy one here during the day. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

I arrived at this restaurant because I wanted to eat a parfait. The shop was bustling with customers at the takeout and counter seats. The Strawberry and Warabi Mochi Sundae had delicious rich ice cream, and I thought the combination of strawberries and warabi mochi was good. The Pistachio Assortment had a variety of pistachio desserts like ice cream, pudding, cake, macarons, and canelés, which was enjoyable to eat and delicious. I think this would be good for those who like pistachios. The menu is extensive with seasonal items and takeout options, so I think it's a good place to go when you want something sweet.

I visited at 3:30 pm on a weekday. There were 6 groups ahead of me, but I was seated much earlier than expected. The service was also quick with hardly any waiting time. I ordered the seasonal parfait, kuma-yonaka ice cream, and a drink set. The seasonal parfait had a main ingredient of Wenzhou mandarin, which was refreshing yet rich and delicious. I chose pistachio ice cream for the kuma-yonaka, which had a crispy texture and was tasty, but it was small and disappeared quickly. The restaurant has an open kitchen, but the inside seemed disorganized with used glasses left uncollected, which I think should be hidden from view. That was a disappointing point.

I found Sato-Do at Daimaru. It's a popular shop at the Hokkaido Fair, with long lines. I had a parfait after my meal. It had a mix of sweet and sour flavors from the kumquats, soft serve ice cream, and a crunchy texture at the bottom. The aroma of roasted green tea was also nice. It was delicious.

I went to Susukino to eat Genghis Khan, and I planned to go to Sato for dessert parfait, but I was too full and ended up coming back home. However, I later confirmed that there is a Sato branch in Daimaru. Since I had come all the way to Sapporo, even though I didn't have much room left in my stomach, I ended up eating it. The pistachio flavor was rich and very delicious. The dessert assortment has quite a large portion!

At the Hokkaido Fair at Osaka Takashimaya, I tried the bear-shaped two-color Monaka from Satodo. When you split the bear in half, one side is filled with smooth red bean paste, and the other side is filled with chunky pistachio bean paste. The red bean paste is elegant with a refined sweetness, while the pistachio bean paste has lots of crushed pistachios. Both are enjoyable and incredibly delicious. I definitely want to eat this again!

I visited on a regular day. It was dinner time, so I was able to enter easily. There were only female customers. I stood by the curtain waiting, but the staff didn't pay attention until I called out to them. It took a surprising 24 minutes from ordering to the parfait arriving! I didn't expect to wait that long. The parfait was delicious, with the flavors of the ingredients really shining through. It melts quickly though, so you have to eat it fast!

I had always been curious about the pistachio canelé. I got it to go. The inside is moist and soft. The pistachio flavor is strong. A delicious canelé ^ ^ I'm hooked on canelés, so I'll try various ones again. Thank you for the meal ★

"Pistachio" caught my eye along with a cute bear, so I couldn't help but take it home. I prefer the Pistachio cream and strawberry red bean paste with chunky red bean paste, so I chose the refrigerated one. The combination of Pistachio cream and strawberry is perfect! And the moderate sweetness of white chocolate. It would make a great souvenir gift. The Pistachio butter sandwich is delicious! It also has chunky red bean paste and the moist cookie is tasty too (similar to Rokkatei's butter sandwich cookie). The common point between the two is that they are voluminous, so be careful when eating in public as the cream may spill out when you bite into it, making it messy. It seems like it's right next to the Pokemon Center. My daughter went straight to Pokemon. Parents are easily drawn in here, haha.

As a benefit of a health check-up, I received meal vouchers for the Daimaru restaurant area and decided to visit around 12:30 on a weekday. To my surprise, every store had a line of customers waiting (I underestimated the situation). Only Sato-do seemed like I could enter without waiting, but I was hungry and in the mood for lunch. Since I didn't have the patience to wait in a restaurant with my hungry stomach, I decided to purchase two items to take out from Sato-do and save the meal vouchers for another day. I bought the Pistachio Roll Cake for 513 yen, which had a soft texture with a crunchy pistachio topping that added a nice accent. I also got the Pistachio Pudding for 399 yen, which was rich and delicious. I haven't tried their parfait yet, so I'm looking forward to enjoying one in the restaurant next time.

It's a casual dining place. It seems to be quite famous. It's located in Daimaru and was recommended by a friend. When I went with my friend, there was quite a line. The menu isn't very extensive, but I had a hard time deciding what to order, being a big fan of sweets! The dishes looked very pretty and tasted delicious.

*For solo diners* Lately, I know I don't have to say this every time, but being the only one among groups of two or three (followed by many solo diners later, haha) makes me think. Instead of saying "easy for solo diners to enter," I wish there was a way to display reviews specifically for solo diners. With that improvement request in mind, I'll write my review. I was looking forward to the pistachio dessert assortment (1,690 yen). It's quite pricey, considering there's no set menu. Unlike parfaits where you might not need a drink, I think this dessert plate should come with a coffee/tea set. But it doesn't, so each item is counted separately. Starting from the center and going clockwise (all pistachio): soft-serve ice cream, cheesecake, fermented butter sandwich (lemon), macaron, chocolate truffle, Hokkaido strawberry daifuku, pudding, and a roll cake in the center. The portion is quite large. I went after having lunch, so I started feeling full around halfway through. But I couldn't leave any behind. I'm not a fan of chocolate truffles, so I washed it down with coffee (bitter smile), but the rest was delicious. However, the quantity was overwhelming, and I felt quite stuffed, like in a showdown between a bear and a minced meat cutlet. "Can you handle me?" it seemed to be asking, but I couldn't give up! I faced the challenge with determination. The boy next to me, who came after and ordered the same thing, quickly caught up and passed me, leaving me behind. Youth is amazing. So, I think it's best to go on an empty stomach to enjoy this dessert plate. I'll give it another try next month for a solo New Year's party. It was delicious, thank you.

I stopped by before going to the clinic this time, as I didn't see it at all last time. The system seems to have changed a bit, with canelés being sold from 2 o'clock, butter sandwiches from Tuesday to Thursday, and cream puffs from Friday to Sunday. Since I went on a Monday, this time I purchased cheesecake, roll cake, pudding, and canelés. The cakes were all delicious this time. The "Pistachio Roll Cake" had a plain dough rolled with pistachio cream and topped with pistachios, with a moist texture and crunchy pistachios as an accent. The "Pistachio Pudding" had a texture like Bavarian cream with a rich pistachio flavor, although the caramel flavor was too strong for my liking. The "Pistachio Canelé" had a soft texture all around with a slightly unusual taste due to the pistachio. Personally, I found the roll cake delicious, but in terms of richness, the pudding stood out. My husband enjoyed the "Pistachio Cheesecake" with its intense pistachio flavor.

Located on the 8th floor of Daimaru Sapporo, "Sato-Do" opened in September 2021. This place is a popular parfait shop in the Tanuki Koji area, known for its unique parfaits. Other shops under the same management include "Sasaki" and "Enoki," with each new shop having a different surname as part of its name. However, "Sato-Do" is slightly different from the others. The interior was not crowded, so I opted for takeout and purchased the "Pistachio Soft Serve @450." The soft serve, in a pale green color, was served in a cup with a thin, round monaka and a plastic spoon. I enjoyed it standing outside the store. The soft serve had a smooth texture, not too heavy or overly sweet, with just the right amount of pistachio flavor. It was a delightful treat, and as a fan, I appreciate the thought put into the balance of flavors by "Sato-Do." Having a Sato parfait available near Sapporo Station is convenient, and I look forward to enjoying a parfait leisurely when it's less crowded next time. Thank you for the meal.

Eat-in use. Takeout had a long line. Ordered 4 pistachio soft serves. "Understood," said the staff. I could see the kitchen from the counter, and they were making 4 parfaits. I had a bad feeling, and they brought them to me, haha. I tried to explain that I ordered soft serves, not parfaits, but apparently you can't order soft serves alone. You have to order a drink or something else. It's written in small letters on the menu. In the end, I ended up eating the parfait they brought me, haha. The staff should have double-checked. It was delicious, but I couldn't eat much because my stomach was already full when I went.

I had a seasonal parfait. Under the grape sorbet, there was a chestnut cream and ice cream. Surrounding it were chestnut sweet stew. Inside the glass, there was chocolate mousse with grape jelly for a refreshing taste. A hint of cinnamon aroma and the sweet-salty taste of roasted miso cream cheese as accents. The crunchy texture of rum raisin crumble and beautiful grape slices. I usually don't like cinnamon and rum raisins, but they were delicious, and it made me realize that delicious food can even help overcome dislikes! It was a parfait with a perfect balance, where each part was delicious and beautiful. It was really delicious!!

Today's assortment included Hokkaido bear-shaped cream puff, cream puff, macaron, fresh chocolate, cheesecake, shortcake, soft serve ice cream, smoked pistachio, all pistachio-themed!! The crispy bear-shaped cream puff had a creamy pistachio filling with red beans and two strawberries. This was the most delicious! The shortcake was also generously filled with pistachio cream. The soft serve ice cream was pistachio flavored as well. Everything was delicious! The smoked pistachio added a salty and fragrant touch that enhanced the sweetness of the desserts even more. It was fun to watch the cakes being made from our table, and although it wasn't on display, we could see them making canelés which looked really crispy and delicious! The cups and saucers were all cute and added to the enjoyment.

After leaving the clinic, I decided to buy a cake at "Satodou," but there was almost nothing left. They only had one cream puff, canelé, choux pastry, and macaron. The staff told me that even on weekdays, cakes are almost sold out by 1 pm. So, I ended up buying the cream puff and canelé. It took quite a while to pack them, and the top half of the cream puff was missing. The cream puff was smaller than usual, about half the size. It had a pistachio cream and whipped cream filling, but I found the pistachio cream to be too sweet for my liking. The canelé looked quite shiny, and I realized it had a thick layer of caramel on top. It was very sticky and almost took out my dental crown. Also, I was drinking iced coffee, so the caramel didn't melt at all (people with dentures should be careful). The canelé had a crispy surface and a moist interior. The color of the inner dough was brown instead of yellow, making me wonder if it was a caramel-flavored canelé. There was no indication on the flavor. Despite being tasty, I would recommend not having the caramel on top. I remembered enjoying a pistachio parfait at the Autumn Fest before, but this time's purchase was a bit disappointing.
