Tasting the Donuts: Fresh Custard Cream, Mochi-Ring Chocolate, and Heart Cream
During this visit, four donuts and drinks were ordered.
Coffee is brewed using Takagi Coffee’s original blend from Osaka, while tea is sourced from the American brand Mighty Leaf.
Fresh Custard Cream (¥350)
The most popular item on the menu, this donut feels satisfyingly heavy in the hand.
The dough is chewy and soft, while the custard cream is mildly sweet, making it easy to finish despite its rich appearance.
Mochi-Ring Chocolate (¥300)
A Kagurazaka-exclusive donut with an especially chewy texture—more elastic than a typical mochi-style donut.
The milk chocolate coating is rich and well-balanced, making this a personal favorite.
Heart Cream (¥420)
Filled with fresh custard cream and coated with raspberry-flavored chocolate, this donut balances sweetness with a gentle acidity.
Spicy Curry Donut (¥350)
A savory option with a texture somewhere between a piroshki and a fried donut.
The curry filling is distinctly spicy, complemented by the slightly sweet dough.
Final Thoughts
During this visit, we♡donut Kagurazaka stood out for its chewy dough, restrained sweetness, and wide variety of choices, including location-exclusive and limited-time items.
The shop attracted many female customers, and depending on the time of day, it feels like an ideal spot for a relaxed café break.
With its diverse lineup and seasonal offerings, it’s a place that invites repeat visits.
If you are exploring Kagurazaka, this fresh donut shop is well worth stopping by.
