The colorful fresh donuts lined up across the showcase are such a mood booster…! They already look soft and fluffy at a glance, making you want to pick out several without even thinking. This time, I mainly bought the standard cream filled ones. The dough was even more moist and chewy than I expected, with a light, airy texture the moment it hit my mouth.

If you love cinnamon, the perfect pick is the "Cinnamon Sugar Doughnut." It seems popular for its cinnamon aroma and the nice crunchy texture of the sugar.
The cinnamon is not too strong, and you can still really taste how good the dough itself is.

Inside, you can spot a few regulars, and the whole place has a calm atmosphere that feels loved by the local community. One of the big draws is the popular Breakfast, which you can enjoy for just one coin. You can choose either a doughnut or a sandwich, but I picked the doughnut without hesitation. It has a gentle sweetness and is so good that it makes you want to get some for Takeout. It is a place I would like to visit again.

I ordered my favorite café au lait and a sugar doughnut. The doughnut was nice and filling, and super tasty!! And the café au lait was great too, with the coffee and milk balanced nicely without either one standing out too much. It was cheap, it was good, and I was totally Manzoku!!

I bought a ganache doughnut to eat on the go, and it had plenty of whipped cream, so the Manzoku level was high! The restaurant is stylish and has the feel of a place that opened recently. They have a wide variety, so I recommend it for a small gift or whenever you feel like having something sweet.

The top pick is the limited-quantity "Freshly Fried Standard Doughnut." Because it is served within 30 minutes of frying, it is crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. Sales times are fixed at 11:00, 13:00, and 15:00, so this is one you will want to plan your visit around. The "Uji matcha (high-grade green tea from Uji) Doughnut" also lets you enjoy the flavor of good quality Uji matcha, with an excellent balance of sweetness and bitterness.

The sugar doughnut has that reliably good taste, simple with just the right amount of sweetness. It goes great with black coffee too, and has a comforting feel♡The hot dog I tried for the first time was even better than I expected, with a nicely crisp surface on the bun and a moderately soft inside.

I took a bite of the Premium Yuzu Lemon. It was great. The doughnut has a firm dough, coated on the surface with lemon flavored sugar and sprinkled with yuzu peel. The doughnut itself has a simple taste, but the sweetness of the sugar and the fruity feel and acidity of the yuzu peel make it refreshingly good.

True to its claim of serving delicious doughnuts, these were light and fluffy with a nice nostalgic feel. They were not too sweet and had a clean taste, without the dry texture in your mouth that doughnuts often have. I would love to try them fresh fried too.

These are simple donuts with a nostalgic taste. I had the unsugared type, and the chewy, moist texture had a taste that keeps you coming back. The owner was also very pleasant, the prices are easy on the wallet, and I might stop by for a walk and buy some from time to time.

The setting is nice too. The bag is cute. The attention they put into the bag is a big plus. It’s so cute that it seems great for a souvenir!! I ordered the Earl Grey doughnut. It would be good for eating on the go. It was light and tasty. Even people who do not like sweets would probably enjoy it.

The chocolate donuts were packed with rich chocolate, and the dough was soft, light, and easy to eat! The cream-filled donuts had smooth cream inside, with an excellent balance of sweetness.
