Sadly, Mister Donut left the U.S. (I think all Mister Donuts became Dunkin Donuts) around 1990. However, Mister Donut can be found at about half of the train stations here in Tokyo.
I go to Mister Donut once, if not twice a week. The donuts at Mister Donut Japan are absolutely beautiful. Compared to their U.S. counterparts, they are definitely not as sweet. Further, there is such a great seasonal variety here, from black sesame to green tea to chestnut to mandarin oranges and onward Every month there is a limited time set of donuts. Well, Halloween is no different, this time with Hello Kitty branding and pumpkin flavor donuts:
For a mere 1000 yen, you can get an assortment of donuts, a plush Hello Kitty and a special box.
On Sunday, I had a baked pumpkin donut. Absolutely delicious. Truly could taste the pumpkin and it wasn't too sweet. Free refills on the coffee!!!
On Monday, I had the Whip Obake (ghost) Donut. This was a standard strawberry frosted dount with whipped cream inside. A little sweeter than the pumpkin donut, but still really good.
The best part of Mister Donut is they play American music (which is common at a lot of places here) which includes 60's, 70's and 80's songs too. It's called the Mister Do Network.
Due to the good music, presentation and not-too-sweet nature of the donuts, I give Mister Donuts' Halloween selection 5 long johns out of 5 long johns.
These donuts won't be here forever, so if you want Kitty-chan or pumpkin donuts, you better get them soon.
