Krispy Kreme Japan's Newest Shaped Donuts Celebrate Horse Races in Hyogo

— June 10, 2016 — Lifestyle
As part of the celebrations for the race days at Hanshin Racecourse in Hyogo Prefecture, Krispy Kreme Japan designed two special donuts to be served at only one of its worldwide locations for just eight short days.

The donuts are being sold next to a special outlet for women, which offers complimentary food and drinks upon entry, as well as information on placing bets and lessons on felt-making. The special donuts created for the event include one brown and one pink-colored horse face, which are made with crunchy biscuit ears. These donuts are available individually, as well as in three and six packs of assorted donuts.

In the past, Krispy Kreme has also created a variety of holiday donuts in the shape of Santa Claus and snowmen for Christmas, as well as chicks for Easter.
