What is Odori Bisse?
Odori Bisse is a convenient building that is directly connected to Odori Subway Station.
It is also close to Odori Park. It used to be the main branch of Hokkaido Takushoku Bank, but now it is the conspicuous Hokuyo Bank building.
There is “Bisse Sweets” on the first floor of this building.

Visit “Bisse Sweets”
Recommended for these people
People who want to eat sweets made with Hokkaido ingredients
People who want to take a short break while sightseeing in Sapporo or walking around Odori Park.
People who want to casually enjoy sweets in a convenient location near the station or directly connected to the underground passage.
You can eat sweets from “Kinotoya” and “Machimura nojo” (Machimura farm) on the spot.
“Kinotoya” and “Machimura nojo” offer sweets such as cakes and soft serve ice cream.
There are seats where you can sit freely, so you can enjoy it on the spot.
The store has glass walls and an open feel.
There are a lot of seats, but be careful as it gets crowded on holidays. Reservations are not possible.
This time, I ordered the omelette parfait set (omelette parfait and coffee or tea) for 990 yen (tax included) at “Kinotoya”. If you have a coupon that you can get from Kinotoya, it will cost you 800 yen.
This is a system where you order and pay at the counter, receive your purchases on the spot, and take your seat.
It’s often crowded, so it’s best to reserve a seat before ordering.
What’s Kinotoya ?
https://www.kinotoya.com/ *Japanese only
“Kinotoya” is a sweets store founded in Sapporo in 1983, and has stores in Sapporo and New Chitose Airport.
“Sapporo Agricultural School (Cookies called Sapporo Noh gakko)” and “Cheese Tart” are famous.
- This is “Sapporo Agricultural School (Cookies called Sapporo Noh gakko)” |Not available for overseas delivery
They are delicious and we can recommend them with confidence.
I think “Sapporo Agricultural School (Cookies called Sapporo Noh gakko)” has high cost performance. You can enjoy freshly baked cheese tarts at New Chitose Airport and freshly baked cookie sandwiches at Sapporo Station.
It looked delicious too. Chocolat Duo (Kinotoya)
I visited at the end of February, and cakes for the Doll’s Festival in March were also on sale.
Kinotoya’s Omelette parfait set (omelette parfait and coffee or tea)
Now, the omelette parfait was like this. It’s quite a volume.
In addition to fresh cream, it also contains red bean paste and shiratama dumplings. The outside dough is fluffy and the fresh cream is typical of Hokkaido. Smooth and light.
The combination with the sourness of the fruit is exquisite, and the red bean paste and shiratama dumplings go surprisingly well together!
It will fill you up quite a bit, so you might be careful about the time of day you eat it.
I ordered coffee as part of the set drink, but it was served in a fairly large cup. It’s a strong coffee that goes perfectly with sweets.
There are many shops in Hokkaido that serve strong, deep coffee.
Other shops in Bisse (there are also free rest areas)
I also took a short walk inside Bisse.
Life style shop YUIQ (2nd floor)
A stylish miscellaneous goods store. Good things not only from Hokkaido but from all over Japan are gathered here.
Tokumitsu coffee (2nd floor)
There is an interesting menu where you can choose your favorite flavor among the “blended coffees”.
https://tokumitsu-coffee.com/blend (See BLEND1~9)
There are benches and spaces to rest everywhere. Of course it’s free. It may be a little-known resting place.
Directly connected to underground passage. Odori subway station is right there, so you can get on the subway right away. You don’t have to worry about it even if it’s raining or snowing.

Japanese summary 日本語の要約
ビッセスイーツは大通公園近く・地下鉄大通駅直結のビル「ビッセ」の1階にあります。
ビッセスイーツでは、きのとやと町村農場のケーキやソフトクリームがイートインで楽しめます。
注文したものを好きな席で楽しむことができるシステム。だいたい混んでいるので注文前に席を確保したほうがよいでしょう。
きのとやのオムパフェセット(990円)を今回注文。
オムパフェはふわふわの生地や新鮮な生クリームはもちろん、果物の酸味や、中に入っているあんこと白玉の味とも絶妙な組み合わせで美味しかったです。結構お腹いっぱいになります。
またコーヒーか紅茶を一緒に注文できます。どちらも量はたっぷりめ。コーヒーは濃い目の深い味で、スイーツとの相性が抜群でした。
こちらのビッセは雑貨店や他のカフェ、そして無料で休憩できる場所もあります。便利な場所なのにこちらにはあまり人がいませんので穴場かもしれません。
