Kim Miwa, who is the owner, studied French confectionery at the university in her third year. She then decided to study the authentic French taste in the classroom of Le Cordon · Blue which opened that year.

“I got a culture shock with such delicious sweets!” When I look back on those days I remember that I was fascinated by the world of deep French sweets, and after graduation I went to Paris.” After she returned home she worked hard to further improve her skills and steadily walked the way of making sweets. Once back to Asahikawa, for the next 15 years she offered sweet making classes to the locals. In 2007 she set up her own shop in order to share the taste of sweets with more people.

With lots of love for Asahikawa, they are showering the city with sweets!

Kim says with a full smile, “I love the city of Asahikawa, I have a feeling of having that the energy of the Asahikawa station somehow helps keep the store alive! Since around 2009 she has been making apple pies made from local apples that are grown in the autumn. A good quality Asahikawa apple has well-balanced acidity and sweetness. These apple pies often serve a great role in PR as she sometimes offers her pies to locals who have not yet visited her shop!
