"MisDo Matcha Festival" - or, What I Wouldn't Give To Be At Mr. Donut Right Now

Anyone who has spent any time in Japan will know about the fun and innovative donut shop chain, Mr. Donut.  The last time we were in Japan, we were obsessed with a donut called "pon de ring" - a deliciously chewy, glazed flower or lion mane-shaped glob from heaven. 

Then I discover that MisDo is having a Matcha(steamed, ground Japanese green tea) Festival and...it looks like my favorite donut in the world now comes dipped in matcha chocolate!  That alone is worth an immediate flight booking.  

Their custard cream donut has been reincarnated as a matcha-chocolate covered donut with azuki beans and cream filling.  The French Crueller is now dunked in Japanese matcha too.

They have new matcha drinks as well - iced matcha latte with either azuki-flavored soft gelatin or custard gelatin. 

Isn't matcha just amazing and wonderfully versatile? For those who have yet to try matcha - we can hook you up.  You'll love it!


Disclosure: No compensation was paid to me by Mr. Donut for writing this post.  However, I would like to let them know that I'd be more than happy to wear a MisDo uniform and dredge myself in matcha on live Japanese TV in exchange for a Matcha Pon De Ring!:)
