・Recommended donut: "Donuts Melt Strawberry" with a new sensation, for which plenty of domestic strawberries are used 1,100 yen

 This is a donut shortcake with a new texture, produced by preserving seasonal strawberries in syrup and sandwiching them between "juicy" cream and a freshly made donut. As you cut it with a knife and fork, due to its softness, and then include it in your mouth, the fresh sweetness of the strawberries and the gentle sweetness of the wasanbon (a Japanese sweetened sugar) will fill the entire mouth.

You can enjoy eating donuts while watching at a short distance the whole process, which includes producing dough, deep-frying it with a fryer and topping the dough.

 About 2,000 donuts, of which there are about 30 varieties, for vegans as well, are produced per day in this clean, tidy space.

▲Located in Kawaramachi, downtown Kyoto, this store is very convenient to drop by.
