JR Tokai Food Service to Open “cafe & gifts piyorin village” in Nagoya Station on June 15

JR Tokai Food Service will open “cafe & gifts piyorin village” on June 15.

The café was born from the idea of bringing smiles to people through “Piyorin,” a sweet made with eggs from Nagoya Cochin, a specialty chicken breed from Nagoya, Japan. With the concept of “the world where the Piyorin chicks live,” as dreamed up by Hiyori, the patissier who watches over them, the venue will integrate both a café and a gift shop.

At the café, more than five types of Piyorin (from 600 yen each) will always be available from opening time, including the standard flavor, strawberry, chocolate, black tea, and seasonal limited editions. They will also offer a “village plate” (1,580 yen), where guests can choose their preferred two Piyorin from four varieties and have them plated with fruit and other items, as well as a shop-exclusive “village Piyorin” (750 yen) made only with custard pudding and no bavarois. All of these items are for in-store dining only; takeout Piyorin will be sold at existing other locations.

Examples of sweet menu items include the “Piyorin parfait” (1,680 yen), which layers custard pudding made with Nagoya Cochin eggs, vanilla ice cream, strawberries, and black tea jelly; the “Piyorin shake” (1,080 yen) with added pudding and caramel sauce; “Piyorin cream soda” (980 yen each) in strawberry and melon flavors; and “Piyorin shaved ice” (1,480 yen) made with pure ice. An afternoon tea set called “Hiyori’s Garden Party” (3,800 yen) is also available with advance reservation only.

For food items, toast dishes such as Ogura toast topped with Piyorin-shaped whipped butter and toast decorated with a Piyorin face will be served from 7:00 a.m., while dishes like egg sandwiches and croque-madame will be served from 10:00 a.m.

As evening-only menu items from 5:00 p.m., the café will offer “Starry Sky Piyorin” (680 yen), in which custard pudding made with Nagoya Cochin eggs is wrapped in cocoa and chocolate bavarois and coated in black crumbs containing bamboo charcoal, the “village night plate” (1,580 yen), and the “Night Piyorin parfait” (1,380 yen), which layers lychee sherbet, Muscat grapes, and butterfly pea jelly.

For drinks, the lineup includes “Yawakawa latte” (960 yen), which features Piyorin latte art, and the original blend coffee “village blend.” All drinks come with a coaster featuring a store-exclusive design.

Some seats, including zones with special interior decorations, can be reserved in advance. Same-day use is handled via an automatic ticket machine at the storefront. By scanning the QR code printed on the ticket, customers can receive a notification when their turn is approaching. Seating is limited to 90 minutes per visit.

In the adjoining retail area, the shop will carry over 100 items, mainly original goods featuring piyorin village–exclusive designs, as well as baked sweets and more.

The location is Nagoya Chuo-dori (Nagoya Central Street) in the central concourse of JR Nagoya Station in Japan. Opening hours are 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. for the café (last orders at 9:30 p.m.) and 6:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. for the retail area.
