An annual favourite, Mister Donut and the Pokémon company are teaming up for the fourth year running with their special winter edition Pokémon donut collaboration, though this time, the ever-popular ‘Pikachu Donut’ will be bringing a friend along in the form of Eevee.
In last year’s edition, the collaboration saw the return of the ‘Pikachu Donut’ as well as the addition of a three-dimensional ‘Poké Ball donut’ and a limited edition ‘Chansey donut’.
This year, Chansey is remaining at home, but Eevee has come along to play instead.
In addition to the adorable Pikachu and Eevee face donuts, Mister donut is also offering ‘Furimiki Donuts’ that cheekily express the behind of Pikachu, Eevee and three other Pokémon friends.
Pikachu Face Donuts
As always, the collaboration menu wouldn’t be anywhere without the popular Pikachu face donut. Packed with plenty of airy whipped cream, the soft yeast dough is coated in pudding-flavoured glaze before being finished with chocolate decorations that make up Pikachu’s eyes, ears and cheeks.
Takeout: 270 yen
Eat in: 275 yen
Eevee Face Donuts
Making its first appearance this year, the Eevee face donut might be almost too cute to eat. Painted in a mouthwatering caramel-flavoured glaze and filled with whipped cream, this Eevee face donut introduction sounds like a sweet-tooth’s dream.

Pikachu, Evee and friends Furimiki Donuts
If you’re not quite able to catch Pikachu or Eevee’s smiling face donuts, then how about grabbing one of these Furimiki Donuts. The Japanese word Furimiki means ‘turn around’ in English, and as such, these custard and whipped cream donuts resemble the backsides of Pikachu, Eevee and three other Pokémon friends. The wrapping features adorable designs of the Pokémon creatures as they look over their shoulder with a mischievous gaze in their eyes...perhaps they’re trying to get away from us keen trainers, or maybe they’re just having a bit of fun – that’s up for you to decide.
The Pokémon Furimiki Donuts are available in designs depicting Pikachu, Eevee, Piplup, Pachirisu and Glaceon.
Takeout: 194 yen
