I’m Donut

I’m Donut is not merely a donut shop; it has become a cultural phenomenon in Tokyo. Established by the same proprietors behind the renowned bakery “Amam Dacotan,” this establishment offers freshly baked donuts filled with an array of ever-changing fillings. For instance, the Shibuya branch alone boasts approximately 80 different flavors available each day. What sets their donuts apart is their unique dough, which manages to be both fluffy and chewy simultaneously. With four branches scattered across the city, each one consistently draws long lines of eager customers patiently awaiting their turn to indulge in these delectable treats. Despite the potentially lengthy wait times, we promise you will find the experience well worth it.
