Wandering around Kyoto Station in the middle of summer, I couldn't handle the heat and decided to step inside a self-service cafe. I was craving water, but couldn't find any available. So, I settled for a "Frozen Morihalf Green Tea" for 572 yen (tax included). It was sweet, cold, and refreshing. The crushed ice felt great in my throat. However, it was too sweet and made me even thirstier. It's a shame they don't offer water, even if it's just for service purposes.

There is a large showcase under the cash register with lots of donuts overlapping on the left and right, so it's surprisingly easy to see. Today, I tried the white Pon de Ring. It's not heavy at all, so you can eat it quickly. The snow piled up in the aisles during the recent heavy snowfall was a topic of conversation, and it was actually at this store.

Now, let's talk about Kyoto. Due to yesterday's rain, the Shinkansen trains between Nagoya and Tokyo were stopped in the morning. I thought it wouldn't affect the Shinkansen between Nagoya and Kyoto, but the Kodama trains were running only once every hour. Despite this, I managed to reach Kyoto Station after a 3-hour journey from my home in Nagoya. I planned to take a coffee break at Mister Donut in the station, but it was under renovation and only bottled drinks were available. I ended up getting an iced coffee.

I arrived at Kyoto Station and had some time, so I went to Mister Donut. The spacious area in the station building is popular among foreigners. I love the Angel French at Mister Donut. It has dough, chocolate, and cream with three different levels of sweetness that taste delicious. It was a treat to have the Angel French after a long time. Thank you for the meal.

I wanted to try the collaboration products with Tsujiri, so I got them for takeout. I got matcha and hojicha flavors. The hojicha flavor didn't have much hojicha taste, but the matcha one had warabi mochi in it and was delicious. The place has an open and relaxing eat-in space with power outlets, so if the weather is nice, it's a good place to take a break.

I went to buy the Toshi Yoroizuka series, but unfortunately the item I wanted was sold out. Instead, I bought the salted caramel chocolate from the PON DE CHOCOLA series! The rich sweetness of the white chocolate, combined with the gooey and sweet caramel cream inside, created an amazing flavor experience! ✨

I visited Mister Donut Kyoto Station Building Shop located on the 2nd floor of the Central Concourse at Kyoto Station Building in Shimogyo-ku, Kyoto City, on Karasuma-dori, Shimogyo-ku, Kyoto City. It is directly connected to JR Kyoto Station, making it easily accessible from public transportation. There is also a shared parking facility for those arriving by car. The shop has 148 seats, with 128 table seats and 20 counter seats. This time, I ordered the "Mochi Mochi Donut Chocolate" (187 yen). The dough has a chewy texture with a chocolate coating and crunchy chocolate crunch toppings all over. The dough is chewy and goes well with the moderately sweet chocolate, making it delicious. Mister Donut values texture in their donuts and constantly strives to improve the dough and frying oil while maintaining the same texture. They make the donuts by hand in the shop to deliver the freshly made deliciousness to customers. They adhere to the original recipe faithfully based on a common manufacturing manual across all shops to ensure consistent deliciousness nationwide. The coffee served also complements the donuts perfectly. Mister Donut Blend Coffee is designed to enhance the sweetness and richness of the donuts when enjoyed together. I look forward to visiting again when I have the chance. Thank you!

This time we did takeout, but it's convenient because it's located in a station building. The open feeling of the atrium is nice, but since it's visible to passersby, it's more of a place to relax and unwind from sightseeing rather than to linger. Personally, I like it.

There is a Mister Donut along the pathway leading to the large staircase in Kyoto Station Building. Next to it is a cute pie shop called Pieface, where pies with adorable expressions are sold. You can also buy pies from there while waiting in line at Mister Donut. They have seasonal items like sweet potato donuts. The Halloween donuts are too cute to resist. Pieface, an Australian-born shop, offers meat pies and sweet pies, along with coffee. I tried the Pon de Choco Devil and the Arabiata Risotto & Classic Mince Beef Pie. The Pon de Choco Devil had a cute spiral eye design, perfect for Halloween. Note: Halloween menu items are no longer available. The pie was quite spicy but delicious. It was a filling meal.

Around 3:00 PM, I visited "Mister Donut Kyoto Station Building Shop" with one other person. Located on the west side of Kyoto Station Hachijo-guchi, this Mister Donut has been a familiar spot for me. We visited because they were offering Halloween-themed donuts. Here are some of the Halloween limited edition donuts they had: - Pon de Choco Devil 160 yen - Masshiro Franken 160 yen - Makkuro Choco Neko 160 yen - Misdo Jack-o'-lantern Pink 160 yen - Pink Mummy 160 yen In addition to these, they also had a variety of regular donuts such as Pon de Ring, French Cruller, Honey Dip, Chocolate Ring, Sugar Raised, Honey Churro, Chocolate Churro, Custard Cream, and many more. They also offer sets like the Misdo Go Han Set and Misdo Go Han Soup Set starting from 11:00 AM. We tried the Masshiro Franken, which was coated in white chocolate and had a nice sweetness to it. We also had the Misdo Jack-o'-lantern Pink, which had an Old Fashioned dough coated in strawberry chocolate. Lastly, we tried the Satsumaimo Domitsu Imo Brulee, which had a nice sweet potato flavor and a crispy caramelized sugar topping. Overall, the donuts were priced reasonably between 120 yen to 160 yen each and were delicious. It was a fun experience enjoying the Halloween-themed treats. Thank you for the meal. #Gourmet #KyotoGourmet #KyotoStationGourmet #MisterDonut #Misdo #Cafe #KyotoCafe #KyotoStationCafe #Donuts #Halloween #Kyoto #ConnectWithPeopleWhoLoveFood

I stopped by for breakfast on my way out. This shop is located in Kyoto Station, which is convenient for meeting up. I sat at the counter where I could see the ticket gate. This time, I had the Angel French hot coffee, which is a classic. I like it with a little bit of chocolate and whipped cream. It goes well with the hot coffee. The doughnut was delicious, with just the right amount of sweetness for breakfast. I had the hot coffee black, and it had a strong bitterness that I enjoyed. The staff were efficient but also provided excellent and polite service.

I was drawn in by the sweet scent. Kyoto Station has a roof so you won't get rained on, but you can still feel the outside breeze, making it quite pleasant depending on the season. You can also feel the bustling atmosphere of the station, which personally I find comforting. The fact that there are quite a few seats is nice, and it's also convenient that you can use electrical outlets.

At the end of May, on that morning, for some reason, I found myself in Kyoto... It was a Kyoto trip planned by my wife... and I accompanied her, yes! I accompanied her (laughs). This was a 3-day trip starting from that day, and as a reviewer, I wanted to enjoy some good food as well. I had two requests for my wife, and the first one was that I wanted to have morning ramen on the day we arrived. Right next to Kyoto Station, there are two famous ramen shops competing side by side, the well-known "Honke Daiichi Asahi" and "Shinfukusai Kan Honten." Both shops have ratings over 3.7, and I had unintentionally eaten at Honke Daiichi Asahi 5 years ago during a Kyoto trip, so this time... I decided to go to Shinfukusai Kan. However, to my disappointment, even though it wasn't a regular holiday, the shop was closed... temporary closure? I couldn't help but exclaim, "What, closed??" The customers waiting in line at the neighboring Honke Daiichi Asahi all turned to look at me (even though it was only 9 a.m. and there was already a line forming, which was surprising...). I hesitated for a moment, wondering if I should just settle for the shop next door, but no, today I had decided on "Shinfukusai"! However... the shock was huge... I walked back to the station in dismay. The beginning of the trip was like this... what lies ahead... what lies ahead... I returned, but time was still passing, and nothing was open yet... feeling disheartened, I entered the "Mister Donut" on the 2nd floor of the station. It was fortunate that they were open... As you may all know, Kyoto Station... (the special effects masterpiece destroyed by Gamera!) has an open atrium, and the Mister Donut at Kyoto Station is probably the most scenic Mister Donut in Japan... Kyoto dialect works wonders for mental shock, and I was soothed by the gentle words of the shop's staff... There, we ordered 2 Cheese Dogs, 1 Chocolate Fashion Pon de Ring, 2 Iced Coffees (M)... Chocolate Fashion is my personal favorite at Mister Donut, I love it the most, it's like Sata Andagi... Eating it reminds me of the donuts my mother used to fry for me when I was a child, they were crooked, though. Pon de Ring is a later product from Mister Donut, isn't it? When you tear it apart, it looks like a hungry caterpillar (^^;;) Its unique texture is said to be made from cassava, which is also the raw material for tapioca... Cheese Dog took the longest to cook and was the last to arrive, surprisingly, the bread was delicious, chewy and... the sausage was big and crispy, delicious, a hot dog at Mister Donut, well, this is also good... Can people who are not Mister Donut customers sit at the liberating seats?... When we were there, even an old man drinking in the morning was being scolded by the station security guard... Morning ramen was snubbed, and Mister Donut... (laughs) This is not just about Kyoto, but about travel in general (^^;; It can't be helped... travel doesn't always go as planned. Well, what kind of adventure will the next 3 days bring? The purpose of this trip, according to my wife, is to visit temples and shrines that are still unvisited but in the middle to upper class? So that's it... as a non-believer, I will simply accompany her on that. Now, shall we head to the first destination, Byodoin Temple in Uji... It seems half of it is going to be spontaneous... but still... morning ramen... I wanted to eat it... σ(^_^;) Off we go... to be continued...

There is a Mister Donut at Kyoto Station. It is a small shop located on the Central Gate side, although there is also one on the Hachijo Gate side. I visited in the morning to afternoon and there were quite a few customers eating in. The selection of donuts was not that great. I tried the limited edition hojicha old-fashioned donut, which had a generous amount of cream inside and was delicious.

Please note that Mister Donut does not sell sake. In Kyoto, there is a shop on the 2nd floor concourse of JR Kyoto Station. I happened to pass by the shop and felt like having something sweet, so I visited. They had a limited edition Pon de Chocolat, so I ended up buying it along with some other classic donuts. I may have bought too much... It's dangerous when you're hungry. I took them home and tried the adult Pon de Chocolat. Since it's labeled "adult," I thought maybe it would go well with alcohol. I prepared some hot sake and took a bite of the Pon de Chocolat. Then, I tried it with Gufu from Gifu, not hot sake, and it turned out that the crunchy chocolate and the rich flavor of the sake surprisingly matched perfectly. The chocolate aroma was enhanced by the hot sake, and unlike coffee, whisky, or brandy, the sake didn't overpower the flavors. I just tried sake on a whim, but it seems like this could become a regular pairing for me.

After a long time, I went on a short trip. I wonder when was the last time? I didn't used to care much before, but now I realize I rely a lot on my smartphone! My battery is running low, so I decided to charge it and take a tea break here. I tried the adult Pon de Chocolat for the first time, and I really liked the texture. The adult version was not too sweet and delicious. Thank you for the meal.

I often go to McDonald's and Mister Donut, but I have never posted a review before. However, this time, I will share because it is useful information. I thought all food and beverage establishments were closed at Kyoto Station. It was so sad. What should I do (ToT)? But then, I found out that this place was open. Maybe because it's open-air, it's wonderful! There are shared big tables and counters with power outlets. It's fantastic! Also, to keep warm in the cold, the chairs at the big table have heaters built-in, so your bottom stays warm. Just a heads up, at regular Mister Donut stores, you can get free refills on coffee, but not here. Of course, the donuts are delicious. This month, there is nowhere for everyone to have tea or use their laptops, so I am grateful for this place.

I wanted to have lunch during my transfer time, so I decided to go to this place where I could finish quickly. I ordered the Hire Katsu sandwich and drink set for 770 yen, and also got an Old Fashioned Honey for 143 yen. The Hire Katsu sandwich was served warm, so both the cutlet and bread were nice and soft, and disappeared quickly. For men, this might not be enough, so you might want to add a donut or two, which will push the total over 1,000 yen. It's a bit pricey, but the counter seats here offer a nice view overlooking Kyoto Station. It's nice to eat while watching people walking below. One issue is that the luggage shelf under the counter table is too low and hits your knees when you sit down. Overall, the restaurant is not bad, but this was a bit bothersome.

The shop was rated 3.07 during the visit. This is my third year participating in the Mister Donut Pokemon promotion. I got a Donut Set B and got a mug! I don't know why, but I've always been drawn to the prizes at Mister Donut. The donuts are always delicious, so I don't mind spending money on them just for the prizes. I'll aim for the prize again next time!
