Hello, I’m the writer, Matsu.

This time, I went to the “I’m donut?” store in Harajuku with Tea Prince® and tried their donuts. Along with that, I’ll also introduce some recommended teas to pair with them. 

The store “I’m donut?” is located about a minute’s walk from the Omotesando exit of Harajuku Station. It opened on July 15, 2023, and has gained popularity for its freshly fried donuts. It’s said that you can only enjoy freshly fried donuts at this location and the Omotesando store.
The menu offers 10 varieties of donuts and a selection of drinks. What Tea Prince® ordered here was the “Plain Donut”!

Introducing the products

Plain Donut
(inclusive of tax: 237 yen)

Q: How is the taste of the “Plain Donut”?

A: The appearance resembles a Malasada, but the donut itself has a slightly fragrant aroma and a mildly sweet, chewy texture.I also tried the one with pistachio cream, and the moderate sweetness of the dough combined with the rich flavor of the pistachio cream, creating a delightful combination.

Recommended Tea

Q: If you’re looking to pair this product with a tea, what type of tea would be good?

A: The recommended tea to pair with this product is the “Afternoon Tea Supervised Hot Flavored Apple Earl Grey Tea Unsweetened 480ml” available at FamilyMart.

The nutty flavor of the donut dough complemented the scented Earl Grey tea, creating a synergistic effect! It was a combination that enhanced the flavors of both items.

Perfect match for the donut! exclaimed the Tea Prince® as he repeatedly admired the tea.

How is your impression after visiting the store?

Q: Could you please share your impression after visiting this store?

A: Usually, there’s always a line stretching until around the evening when the donuts are sold out. You have to wait in line for at least 15 minutes to buy them. However, this time, I lined up before opening and was the first in line!
There were about 20 people lined up behind me when the store opened! It’s really popular!

On the TikTok of Tea Prince®, I’ve also posted a video from when I went to “I’m donut? (Harajuku store)”, so be sure to check it out♪
