I usually have my donuts or doughnuts at Mister Donut. What say you? Donut or doughnut? ^^. Occasionally I would treat myself to some premium cafe doughnuts like those I had when I visited Sendai. I don’t know if Krispy Kreme doughnuts are considered premium elsewhere, but in Japan, they sure are. My guess is, demand isn’t that great for Krispy Kreme doughnuts elsewhere. It has this neighbourhood doughnut store atmosphere, very much like Mister Donut, but sans the long queue. Maybe because more people prefer doughnuts to donuts. ^^.
Whenever I want to grab a doughnut/donut (ok… I’ll use donut to refer to both donut and doughnuts since it’s shorter to type), I want to grab a donut. I do not want to wait in line for more than 5 minutes. If I have to wait more than 5 minutes, I’m not grabbing a donut. I’m queueing for one. And I don’t really like queueing for donuts.
I haven’t tried any Krispy Kreme doughnuts yet. Probably will be waiting for a time when I can just waltz in without queueing up. I’ll let you know if its that good then. ^^.
At Mister Donut, I have a few favourites; Angel Cream and Sugar raised, among others. I’ll go with the original glazed and sugar donut next time I get a chance at grabbing a Krispy Kreme donut.
How long has it been since you last had a donut?

I like chocolate-coated ones I guess, and the really sweet multi-colored ones. But they usually are quite expensive unless I buy them from a neighborhood shop. I mean I hardly see the need to spend so much for a donut. :\

glazed donuts are nice but they are just too sweet and fat lol. they’ve opened more and more krispy kreme shops, just recently in my local shopping centre. it’s not special anymore to me, i’ve had it too many times!

depends where you buy, and when. when i was up at the gold coast last year, there was quite a long line for krispy kreme. at the local shoppingcentre, seems to be none, maybe because majority of customers are asian…

i don’t suppose japanese are asians? ^^.
Neil, let me tell you this: You are in for a real treat. Actually, if I may qualify that comment; if the Krispy Kreme doughnuts in Japan are like the Krispy Kreme Doughnuts in the U.S., then you are in for a real treat. Make sure you have a nice, cold bottle of milk standing by, and go with the “original Glazed”.
I am amazed that Krispy Kreme is doing so well in Japan. The Krispy Kreme doughnuts in the U.S. are so sweet I go into insulin shock every time I eat one (or two, or four). I have noticed on my trips to Japan that the “sweets” really are not the sweet.

Dunkin’ Donuts is better IMO. Krispy Kreme is still good though.

here we have crispy creme donut too, mostly they sale it at big mall. and because these people(in my country of course^^) always curious about USA’things’ so at the first time that shop open, there were a long long line on i(fyuhh). But I think it was worth. The taste really yummy..it’s like something sweet melted in your mouth…

I’m a bit horrified that the menu in Japan is way better than the original Krispy Kreme menu here! Ah well, Japan seems to always do that. I gotta try it when I visit, but I’ll feel silly lining up for something I don’t have to here…
