Mister Donut has pretty much been the old standby for doughnut lovers in Japan, offering a classic and subtle taste that isn't too overpowering for the Japanese palate, which tends to prefer a more delicate brand of sweet. The Japanese doughnut chain will now be giving a limited time offer that doubles down on understated sweets by letting customers get a taste of traditional Japanese confectioneries with their "Wa Doughnuts" (和ドーナツ), or "Japanese Doughnuts" series. The series looks to live up to its name by using classical Japanese dessert ingredients such as matcha, kinako (toasted soybean flour), azuki (red bean), and warabi-mochi, which is a more gelatinous form of mochi made from bracken starch. Here's a look at this gorgeous lineup of doughnuts inspired by traditional Japanese sweets.
The first two in this series of seven are called warabi mochi sandwiches, and somewhat resemble a traditional Japanese twist on an English muffin. Each "sandwich" contains a piece of warabi mochi coated in soybean sugar, placed in the middle of a serving of red bean paste in between two matcha infused buns. Matcha cream and whip cream variations are both available.

Finally there is a cake like stick that makes use of brown sugar syrup to give this matcha coated delight a bit of sweetness. Light and flakey on the outside, but fluffy and cakey on the inside.
