The crowd was a fantastic mix of people from all over the world, adding to the already vibrant vibe!

Last week’s Niseko Classic 2024 marked the 11th event of its name—and the 9th year since it became an official UCI Gran Fondo World Series qualifier event. This year’s 150km and 80km flagship racers had to show even more resilience and technical skill in their battle against gravity and the elements; tackling the Classic’s winding climbs, speedy descents and historically rare bouts of inclement weather, amidst another incredible turnout for Niseko’s premier summer sporting event. RoomBoss is once again proud to have been a sponsor of the Niseko Classic, which proved to be another resounding success this year! Great passion and determination was demonstrated by all involved, with ever-impressive riders, a fantastic spectator showing, and incredible local support—all tied together by an eclectic range of events, stalls and eateries for spectators and competitors alike to enjoy throughout the weekend.
Last Friday, the RB Sapporo team had our very first team dinner and indulged in the local specialty known as “shime parfait”. In Sapporo’s vibrant nightlife scene, this delicacy marks the perfect conclusion to an evening of fun. Following a delectable feast of Yakitori and beer, we ventured to a shime-parfait cafe called “Sinner”, conveniently located just a minute’s stroll from Hosui-Susukino station Exit 1. Here, amidst laughter and camaraderie, we savored our very first “shime parfait,” toasting to the opening of the new Sapporo office and the memorable evening we had shared.

Ghosts, ghoulies, and little monsters were out on the prowl in Hirafu town for Halloween 2023!
