I caught the information that there is a shop where you can eat "The American" donuts in Harajuku, a battleground for sweets such as pancakes. It is an affiliated store "GOOD TOWN DOUGHNUTS" next to the hamburger shop THE GREAT BURGER.


With the full-scale development of convenience store donuts and the landing of "cronuts" from New York, the eating editorial department is becoming more and more sensitive to donuts these days. I went to the store right away!


A little less than 10 minutes walk from JR Harajuku station toward Shibuya. Good Town Donuts is about 5 minutes from Tokyo Metro Meiji Jingu Station. It's already fashionable from the appearance of the shop! There are signboards where you can't find any Japanese characters, and open counter seats on the half terrace, giving off an American aura that makes you wonder, "Is this really Japan?"


When you enter the store, the system allows you to place an order and make payment. If you look at the donuts lined up in the showcase ... it's so colorful and each one is big! From classic flavors such as "Classic Glazed", "Chocolate" and "Salted Caramel", which are guaranteed to be delicious, to "Hibiscus", "Mojito Glazed" and "Kiwifruit", which are unique The lineup is lined up with everything. All prices are 378 yen (tax included).


When I looked at the flavor names in order from the end, I found it. The provocative character string "HABANERO CHOCOLATE " that is inevitable to be seen twice, which ignites the challenging spirit of spicy lovers. The plate says "SPECIAL OF THE DAY".


So, this time, I bought three items: "Hibiscus", which made a strong impression at first impression, "Kiwifruit", which seems to enjoy summery taste, and "Habanero chocolate", which is a mixture of expectations and fear.

The donuts that were carried on a woody plate are big even if you look at them again! I think this is about the model's face. The feeling of squeaking when holding it with one hand is also amazing.


First of all, we will have a vivid reddish purple hibiscus. Just before you put it in your mouth, the fresh scent as if you were surrounded by hibiscus flowers is fluffy ...! When you try it, the sweet and sour taste that American teens like (yes) and claims to be gutsy spreads out. With a gorgeous taste that does not betray the appearance, it is perfect for the image of the fashion city of Harajuku!


The dough is soft and fluffy for a while even if you put it in your mouth. Still, it has a firm texture when chewed. It's more like eating bread than donuts. On the other hand, the glaze on top is thick and has a rich taste.

Next, kiwi fruit. The slightly green glaze is full of seed-like lumps. When you cheek, the refreshing sourness of kiwi fills your mouth!


The glaze is crispy and cool, making you feel like you are eating kiwi fruit. The juicy acidity works well, and the overall sweetness is modest, so it is a donut that seems to be early summer and has a lot of volume but can be eaten refreshingly.

And finally, I challenged Habanero chocolate. If you put it in your mouth, it's spicy, it hurts ... your tongue hurts!


The chocolate itself is quite sweet, but the spiciness of habanero makes it feel balanced. It's sweet, but it's very spicy (the tongue hurts). A mysterious addiction that makes me captivated by this mysterious sensation, and even though it hurts, I eat another bite ... another bite ...!

The glaze is topped with crispy roasted nuts, sometimes with a savory look. However, neither chocolate nor nuts have been able to alleviate the destructive power of Habanero. Speaking of which, if you look closely, this chocolate also looks like it has a reddish color ... Habanero, it has a lot of it in it.

All of the donuts I ate this time had an edgy taste that didn't flirt. It's fun to eat if it looks and tastes so good (in a good way).

Now. Actually, I also ordered another new menu called "Donut French Toast " (950 yen / tax included). I'm curious that it's a "hybrid" of donuts and French toast!


"Donut Freto", which is made by deep-fried donuts and then soaked in egg apareil, has a rich texture that is moist and entwined with the trolley and tongue. It has a simple taste that is not very sweet in itself, and when chewed, the gentle richness of the egg spreads. The correct answer is to sprinkle the attached moist cream or fragrant maple syrup and add the sweetness of your choice to eat!


Although I couldn't eat this time (because I was full), not only sweets but also "meal" menus such as sandwiches are available. You can order sweet and salty foods and share them with your friends.
