Chestnut-Flavored Fall Donuts

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Mister Donut Just Debuted Five New Donuts for Appetite Autumn Season

— August 24, 2024 — Lifestyle
Mister Donut is celebrating the final weeks of summer – also known as Appetite Autumn season – with the debut of five new donuts.

Appetite Autumn, as it's known in Japan, is the late-summer period when an abundance of produce, rice, and even sake is at its peak deliciousness. Now, there are even more delicious new treats for consumers to enjoy during this period, thanks to Mister Donut. The first of the new donuts is the Satsuma Imo-do Torori Mitsu Imo Mitsu donut, which is a sweet potato ring donut coated in a sweet potato glaze. Next up is the Satsuma Imo-do Salty Butter Cream, donut which is another sweet potato donut, but this one is sprinkled with pieces of sugar-coated fried sweet potato on top. Then there's the Satsuma Imo-do Fragrant Brulee donut, which combines sweet potato flavors with creme brulee. Finally, there are two new chestnut douts: the Kuri-do Waguri Whip donut filled with a chestnut and whipped cream filling, and the Kuri-do Angel and Waguri An filled with sweet bean paste and whipped cream.
