I usually stick to donuts with sprinkles, but I'm so glad I went outside my comfort zone during
our trip to Akihabara yesterday. Nino remembers Mister Donut from his childhood in Japan (and can still sing the commercial) so we stopped in for a treat.
Not to put the States down, but I'm not kidding about the title of this post — the Japanese produce some amazing foods, one of which is donuts. A variety of creme filled, powdered and frosted delights greeted me at the door. I got the Angel donut in the wrapper, which was chocolate cake filled with the lightest and silkiest cream I've ever tasted, topped with a thin, but oh-so-rich layer of chocolate topping, and paired it with an iced coffee to combat the humid heat we were walking in. I was in heaven. No, no —
this is Japan.
