Shiseido Parlour, with its flagship store in Tokyo's Ginza, opened a new location at Daimaru Kobe Store on February 17th, marking the brand's first appearance in the Kobe area.
Founded in 1902 in Tokyo's Ginza district, Shiseido Parlour began as Japan's first soda fountain, serving soda water and the then-rare ice cream. As a pioneer in Western confectionery culture, the shop has continued to evolve over the years, with many of its sweets dating back to the early Showa era remaining beloved by customers as both special occasion treats and everyday favorites.
The new Kobe location brings Shiseido Parlour's traditional flavors, refined over more than a century and infused with contemporary sensibilities, from Ginza to Kobe residents. The shop offers an exquisite world of Western confectionery that only Shiseido Parlour can deliver.
Additionally, from February 17th through March 3rd, Shiseido Parlour Ginza flagship store exclusive items will be available for a limited two-week period in an expanded sales area. These Ginza-exclusive products will only be available during this period, making it a perfect opportunity to visit the store during the grand opening.
