donuts
Thailand’s superstar pygmy hippo receives the highest honor that Mister Donut can bestow upon it, but not in Japan.
Looks like we’ll need to save even more room for Poké-desserts (not that we mind, of course).
Nine great ways to spend 1,000 yen at Japan’s favorite donut chain (or one great way to spend 9,000 yen).
Five new donuts for Appetite Autumn, but you can get your hands on them before summer’s end.
Kanto gets lower-calorie version of The Calorie sandwich, while other parts of Japan get an even more filling, ultra-cheap meal.
