I stopped by "Tsubame Donuts" since I was nearby. They use domestically produced soy flour to make their soy donuts. It was my first time trying them, and I found them to be more delicious than regular donuts. They have a wide variety of flavors to choose from, and I was indecisive about what to eat, but the lemon flavor was refreshing and I would recommend it.

I found a delicious-looking donut shop called TSUBAMEDONUT in Fukuoka on Instagram, which was said to be popular. I immediately called the shop and asked them to set aside some donuts for me to pick up. It was really convenient to be able to do that. Also, the detailed information about the products on Instagram made it easy to place an order over the phone. The shop has a very cute and modern exterior. The donuts displayed inside the shop were cute as well. It was definitely a good decision to have them set aside for me. Some of the items were already sold out. My kids were so impressed by the cuteness and deliciousness that they ate all the donuts in the car right after buying them. I had the plain one, which was fluffy and delicious. My son loved the chocolate one so much that he wanted more. The donuts were really tasty. I wish there were several branches in Fukuoka city.

I bought one souvenir. It was a pistachio donut, but I didn't really taste the pistachio. However, it was delicious, so it's okay! They had some unique donuts, so I might go buy some again when I pass by the area. *PayPay not accepted.

In December 2022, I visited a hotel after half past twelve to get some donuts to enjoy at night. There were about 10 different kinds available, but I chose 6. They included the basic "Tsubame" and "Mochitto Sugar," as well as the intriguing "Pistachio" and "Strawberry." These donuts are made using domestically produced soy flour and fried in domestically produced rice bran oil, making them a healthier option. They were light and delicious, allowing me to enjoy multiple without feeling guilty. I look forward to visiting the main store in Nishitetsu Hirao next time!

In Fukuoka, there is a popular donut shop that is often talked about on social media. This shop uses domestically produced soy flour and fries their donuts in domestically produced rice oil, showing their commitment to using domestic ingredients. They operate from 11:00 until sold out, and they also offer phone reservations for those who are worried about missing out. It is recommended to call the store in advance. When I visited in the afternoon, some items were already sold out, so reservation might be a good idea. The shop features cute, brightly colored take-out boxes and a modern interior, making it very popular among young people. The donuts have a gentle, body-friendly taste without being overly sweet, with a slight soy flavor due to the use of soy flour. The texture is soft and chewy, similar to Pon de Ring from Mister Donut. The shop has multiple locations including Solaria, Fukuoka Airport, Hirao, Ohashi, and Hakata, where you can enjoy a variety of daily menu items.

To Mr. Tsubame Donuts, I chose the "Wasanbon" with a little sugar again today. I was able to purchase it just in time while looking at the plants, as it seemed to be selling out. It's impressive how it's always bustling, with it being sold out by 14:30-15:00. It reminded me of the candy store near my elementary school that kids used to visit every day. At the same time, I also started managing the rooting of my Pachypodium gracilis. I'll be back again soon~

Tsubame Donuts Watanabe-dori Hirao is a new donut shop in Hirao with various carefully crafted donuts that are not too sweet and easy to eat. There is seating available inside the shop, but I opted for takeout today! There are also various plants inside that caught my attention.

This is a popular donut shop in Fukuoka that has been trending recently. It is very popular among young people. The donuts are not overly sweet, but rather light in flavor. It is best enjoyed with a glass of milk. It is delicious.

I stopped by Marui on my way back from Hakata Hankyu and purchased some donuts that were being sold for a limited time. I don't eat donuts often these days, but they looked delicious so I decided to try them. These donuts are made with rice oil and soybeans, so they are healthy. They were fluffy, light, and not too sweet, which I enjoyed. Regular donuts can feel heavy, but these donuts were light and easy to eat.

The gentle sweetness of the donuts and the kind shop owner will welcome you. I always order the donuts first. Personally, my top choices are 1st place "Wasanbon," 2nd place "Black Sesame Kinako," and 3rd place "Crunchy Chocolate." When they have "Wasanbon," my excitement goes up. They are not overly sweet, but have a gentle sweetness that you can enjoy easily. There are also many indoor plants. If you are interested, it is worth a visit. You might end up going there every week.

I went to Tsubame Donuts on Watanabe Street. It's located in a back alley behind Sakura Cross Hospital. The donuts look so cute, don't they? My friends were also delighted with them as a souvenir. The donuts were soft and delicious. It seems like the types of donuts change depending on the day, so I want to try different ones next time. Thank you for the meal! (^^)

It is located about a 3.4-minute walk from the Watanabe-dori subway station, in a back alley near the Sakura Cross Hospital. This shop sells donuts made with domestically produced soybean flour and rice oil. They have around 9 varieties, including matcha, plain, and soybean flour. The Coconut donut costs 250 yen and has a familiar coconut topping on a chewy and crispy dough. The Crunchy Chocolate donut costs 260 yen but the chocolate flavor was a bit overwhelming. I preferred the Coconut one. They also have a variety of unique houseplants for sale. It was a delightful experience.

I ordered organic donuts from a donut shop I saw on SNS. I got the "Tsubame Donut" (crispy), Coconut, Berry Berry, and Lemon flavors. When I got home, I couldn't wait to dig in. The Tsubame Donut was definitely crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. It had a unique touch with one side coated in sugar syrup and the other side in powdered sugar. The Coconut Donut was soft and had a crunchy coconut texture on top of a chocolate donut. The balance between the sweet chocolate donut and the mildly sweet, fragrant coconut was good! The Berry Berry and Lemon donuts seemed to be carefully crafted to balance the sweetness of the donut with acidity and bitterness. The Lemon donut even had a hint of saltiness hidden in it, giving it a summery and unique taste. Personally, I found the donuts to be overall sweeter than I had imagined. Also, the donut flavors change daily, so it's like a little surprise every time you visit. If you have the chance, I recommend giving them a try!
