Mister Donut

Your donut game is not strong enough if you have not visited Mr. Donut. My gf talked so highly about it but my reply was always «you know i’m not a donut fan, what is so different about it?» UNTIL I tried them.
HOLY MOLY. These were definitely the donuts I was looking for. Not too sweet, soft, juicy. A perfect balance. Total Zen. And variety? Yeah… try about 30 types of donuts and a few limited ones that are only for a few months.
Mr. Donut is all over japan so you can get fat like I did in pretty much every corner.
You may be asking «how about their coffee?» I didn’t have time to try it as I was stuffing my face with all those epic sweet hole-​in-​the-​middle goodness.

How Gem finds these places I’ll never know. I think she has dessert spider senses that allows her to track down every dessert spot where ever she goes. She made us walk here one night and in the end, it was worth the walk. We tried a croissant donut — which they do not call cronuts out here, two regular donut one with chocolate frosting and one with strawberry. Their donuts are more chewy — almost like a fried mochi. It’s very hard to describe the texture. It didn’t taste greasy but it did taste fried. The flavor is very light and I could easily inhale five of them. The croissant donut was too sweet for me and I wasn’t really a fan of them. I tried taking photos of the donut but I think I was a few drinks in and it’s either the camera’s fault or I was drunk. Donuts were pretty cheap considering the conversion rate.

This was NOT the Mister Donut I went to, but Mister Donuts are literally all over Japan and I went to at least 4 – 5 different ones when I was there. each of them very consistent btw… so whatever, I really just wanna get my review out there so I can say that MISTER DONUT IS THE FUCKING BEST!!!
Yes sorry kids about that profanity but I had to emphasize its fucking best-​ness. If you like mochi, and/​or if you like donuts, and/​or if you like chewy things, and/​or if you just have good taste… Seriously, get your ass to Mister Donut.
I go (went) to Mister Donut almost strictly for the «pon de rings». I believe that’s what it’s called lol. It’s those donuts that are made up of little balls to form a ring. Kind of in the shape of a child’s toy lol. They are so… amazing. I went to every Mister Donut I could find and I always get these. In the span of 9 days, I ate at least 10 of them.
These «rings» are so… chewy, fluffy, airy, not very/​perfectly sweet… comes in several different flavors too. I like all of them to be honest. I didn’t get to try the green tea one but it’s ok. Strawberry, chocolate, plain glazed, chocolate/​glazed, powdered (actually powdered was kinda messy to eat, so I prefer the glazed ones lol), etc… Loved all the ones I tried.
Mostly it’s that texture that gets me. I dunno how they do it, it’s a hybrid of mochi and donut lol. JUST FUCKING TRY IT GUYS. It’s crack. It’s better than crack. Hm that’s not true I never tried crack. But it is GOOD.

The quality of these donuts are great!!! I had them in the Philippines and was quite disappointed.
When I saw this here in Tokyo I had to try it to compare. I don’t know why but these donuts are bomb here !!!
There is a wide variety of selection and even some filled with crème or custard and more!!! The maple donut is good and reminds me of a deep fried old fashioned donut back in the states !

We had some time to kill before dinner so we decided that donut’s were the answer! Smart right? Either way, there was a smallish line and once we got to the front there were dozens of different styles to chose from.
The donuts were mighty tasty, but this place little to no seating. No bueno. Still, it was a quick bite so it’s not like we really to sit down for an hour or so. If you like donut’s and want to try something a little different, give Mister Donut a shot.

Fun place to get some unique and tasty donuts, it’s a chain so you can spot them in all different neighborhoods across Tokyo. We walked to this one to grab some donuts for breakfast, and found some interesting flavors and styles. I liked the croissant donut or ‘cronut’, tastes fluffy and not too sweet. :) Other flavors ordered include strawberry and green tea. All were delightful, wouldn’t mind coming back in the future when I’m craving donuts again.

I am normally not a fan of the chain, but this Mr Doughnut in Shinjuku Tokyo has been a landmark meeting spot for friends meeting in the city for years.
Great black drip, nice efficient small Japaneese serving style doughnuts, upstairs lounge with smoking. Big window with view of the intersection so you can run out the door and right across the street in the event it’s raining or the corner is loaded with pimps you want to run past.
This place is a legend of Shinjuku and Kabukicho.

YES One of my favorite places in Japan.
Their donuts are not sweet as much as krisoy kreme.
You can either eat there or do take-​out.
My favorite is Pondering. Their textures are like mochi and really soft.
It’s easy to finish it because they are usually small size.
It’s a perfect snack during shopping.
They also have tea/​coffee and some other non-​sweet snack foods (noodle and soup).
The best part is their point cards. Once your point cards fills up, you can get a reward! They change their reward gifts all the time, so you always have a lot of selections to chose.
This is from 2014 stationary. You enjoy their donuts and get a reward!
What else you can ask for?
I strongly recommend to check out Mister donut in Japan!

This place is seriously awesome. I’m sad to admit that I visited 3 times during my trip to Japan. The Mister New York Croissant Donut is a cheap cronut knockoff and it’s delicious. I especially like the apple flavor. The donuts always tasted fresh and I really enjoyed it. There’s locations all around the city and it’s a great place to stop for a quick snack.

Can’t beat the location!
I recommend to go there if you really crave for American food in Japan and/​or being so curious to find out how the donut there tastes compared with those back home.

Like Tim Horton’s, but much better, I love Mister Donuts! The melon soda, the food, the choco rings, any donut is good. I could eat like a million of these. Mister Donuts are so hard to find in Japan/​Tokyo. I really expected to see them everywhere and even asking around, most people didn’t know where the closest ones were. Some are open really late and others close at 7pm or 8pm and some are self serve style. This is a definite must try when in Japan.
