Chocolate Fashion, prices range from 162 yen. Situation: Visited around 13:30 on Saturday. Waited for about 5 minutes before paying. Taste: Located in a hard-to-find spot near the Hankyu Electric Railway Osaka Umeda Station department store exit on the right side. Despite the rising prices of donuts due to inflation, the taste of this donut, made with plenty of sugar and butter, is irresistible. Other: Only available for takeout, various payment methods accepted.

In February 2022, on my way home from work, I passed by Mister Donut near the ticket gate at Hankyu Umeda Station (there used to be a passage towards Nishi-Umeda, right?). There was quite a long line at Mister Donut, so I decided to join the queue (I have a bad habit of being drawn to lines recently). Ah, Mister Donut around Valentine's Day is always so crowded. Last year it was Pierre Marcolini, and this year it's a collaboration with VITAMEAL. So, I decided to get the VITAMEAL Collection Chocolate Set to go. Here are the items I got: - Chocolate San Bado Donut: Chocolate dough filled with ganache cream and ganache whip. The shiny chocolate glaze and white chocolate lines were inspired by the cake "Chocolat San Ba". - Chocolate Noisette Donut: Chocolate dough filled with hazelnut cream with graham crackers and ganache whip. The cocoa powder sprinkled on top of the ganache whip was inspired by the cake "Chocolat Noisette". - Chocolate Caramel Donut: Chocolate dough filled with caramel mocha cream and ganache cream. Coated with caramel chocolate and topped with nuts, inspired by the praline chocolate "Mallow". - Chocolate Millefeuille Donut: Chocolate dough filled with blueberry jam and ganache cream. Coated with chocolate and decorated with raspberry-flavored flake chocolate, inspired by the praline chocolate "Millefeuille". I enjoyed them at home immediately. They were all delicious. While I also love Old Fashioned and French Cruller, I think I prefer these ones. Especially the Hazelnut and Caramel flavors. But personally, I think my favorite was the American Fruit Series that I had when I was a kid (although I'm starting to forget the taste). Thank you for the meal!

The collaboration donuts released by Mister Donut on January 7th are in partnership with the Belgian chocolate kingdom's renowned brand "Vitamer." There are a total of four types of donuts described as "chocolate cake-like." By ordering online in advance, you can conveniently pick up your order without waiting in line. I pre-ordered the Vitamer Collection Chocolate Set (864 yen). The Chocolat Sanba (216 yen) features a donut chocolate base filled with ganache cream and ganache whip. The Chocolat Noisette (216 yen) has a donut chocolate base filled with hazelnut cream with graham crackers and ganache whip. The Chocolat Caramel (216 yen) consists of a donut chocolate base filled with caramel mocha cream and ganache cream. Lastly, the Chocolat Millefeuille (216 yen) is a donut chocolate base filled with blueberry jam and ganache cream. Each of the four flavors has a unique taste, showcasing the collaboration with Vitamer. The chocolate flavor is not overly sweet and has an elegant taste. My favorite was the Chocolat Noisette, with the gentle sweetness of the whip being exceptional.

It has since expanded nationwide primarily through franchise operations, becoming the largest donut chain in Japan. In the United States, it has been absorbed by Dunkin and no longer exists as Mister Donut. The branch near the west exit of Hankyu Umeda Station is a takeout-only shop. I purchased donuts here on my way back using Hankyu. The donuts I tried were simple yet delicious, showcasing the consistent taste of Mister Donut. I have been buying donuts from Mister Donut quite frequently recently, so I would like to try dim sum at another branch when I have the chance.

"I thought the contrast of colors, the taste might be good too." That's what I thought about the matcha and sakura donuts this time. Every year, Mister Donut holds a fair called [misdo meets Gion Tsujiri], where they offer limited edition products using the highest grade Uji matcha from Gion Tsujiri. And on this day in March 2021, I found the first installment of this fair at this store, themed [color] and combining sakura and matcha. There were 5 types of donuts available this time, but due to limited stock of ingredients, it seemed to be limited in quantity, with restrictions on purchase time and the number of items you could buy at once. I was undecided on which one to choose, but on this day, along with one of my personal favorites, the classic "Coconut Chocolate," I took out 3 items from this fair menu. - Sakura Mochi Donut: A "Pon de Ring" style donut with a chewy mochi-like texture coated in white chocolate and sakura bean paste glaze, finished with Uji matcha chocolate. The matcha served as an accent both visually and in taste, with sakura being the main focus. - Warabi Mochi Sakura Bean & Uji Matcha Whip: A fluffy sakura-flavored yeast doughnut filled with sakura bean paste, sakura and matcha whip, and warabi mochi, topped with chocolate. It was similar to a typical red bean donut, but with the addition of sakura and matcha flavors, as well as the unique texture of warabi mochi, making it a distinctive treat. This fair is scheduled to run until mid-April, but as mentioned earlier, there are restrictions on sales time and quantity, so there is a possibility of items selling out before the deadline. For those who enjoy sakura or matcha flavors, or for those who are curious, I recommend visiting your nearest Mister Donut soon."

I have used this store several times, and when I passed by around 10:30, they still had 5 types of Pierre Marcolini collection that are usually sold out! Even though I had other activities later and didn't want to carry more stuff (lol), I felt like I had to buy them. So I said, "I'll take all 5!" and they explained that these are popular items, so they can only sell up to 2 per person, but at this time, they could sell a set of 3 with a paper bag for 680 yen including tax. I chose Fondant Chocolat, Donuts Caramel, Framboise, Danish Chocolat, and Hazelnut. The Framboise was especially to my liking. If the timing is right, I would like to try all the varieties next time. ^_^

It is conveniently located next to the west exit ticket gate of Hankyu Umeda Station. There are many customers lined up depending on the time of day. It is perfect for eating while on the move for work, with a wide variety of limited-time matcha and strawberry donuts available. Thank you for the delicious meal.

I'm happy that Mister Donut opened in Osaka Umeda underground mall in March. It's convenient to be able to easily buy donuts on the way back from shopping. I purchased two items from the current limited-time "Mochi Cream Donut Collection". The Daifuku Lemon Donut (237 yen) is a mochi-mochi textured pseudo-donut with whipped cream and lemon jelly, all wrapped up together. It's innovative to put mochi on top, and the refreshing lemon flavor is great. The Pon de Ichigo Mochi Cream (172 yen) is a Pon de Ring dough filled with mochi and strawberry jam. It's finished with strawberry and white chocolate and sparkling toppings. The sparkling touch is innovative, the mochi inside makes it even more chewy, and the acidity of the strawberry is nice. It's a pretty good collection, I'd like to try other flavors too.

A new Mister Donut has opened on my commute route! I just have to go there! From the opening on March 23rd, the first 800 customers will receive an original clear file! If you love Mister Donut, it would be nice to look at the original clear file and feel healed every day! So, of course, I'm going for the clear file. When I went around 9 am on the first day of opening, there was a small line. Everyone loves Mister Donut! Now, let's order. - Sakura Mochi Donut with Kinako (soybean flour) 120 yen - Pon de Ring 110 yen The taste is reliable, and being able to buy Mister Donut at a convenient location in Umeda at this price is amazing! I enjoyed it for lunch today! Thank you for the meal.

It was just sweet... and that's it haha. It was delicious, but did it have any cherry blossom flavor?
