Since Krispy Kreme Japan’s release of mouthwatering ice cream sandwiches earlier this year, we’ve been eagerly waiting for their next round of limited edition doughnuts. But just when we thought that they wouldn’t be able to come up with anything more fit for the summer season, their new flavors look like they’ll be proving us very wrong.

Coming to Krispy Kreme stores in Japan on June 8th, 2016 are 4 new flavors — Watermelon, Lemon, Banana, and Strawberry.

The most exciting of the bunch would have to be the watermelon-flavored doughnut. Since Japanese summers are often associated with eating watermelons, it’s a seasonal twist of the standard doughy ring that is both familiar and unexpected.

Watermelon 230 yen (2.10 USD)

Made with real watermelon juice and topped with red, watermelon-flavored jelly and chocolate chips. It’ll be just like biting into a slice of the fruit.

Lemon Glazed 230 yen (2.10 USD)

Made with real lemon juice, it’s even topped with a slice of lemon for the ultimate lemony goodness.

Old Fashion Banana 210 yen (1.90 USD)

A simple banana cake sprinkled with powdered sugar.

Strawberry Chocolate Sprinkle 190 yen (1.70 USD)

Topped with colorful sprinkles and sweet, tart strawberry frosting.

Now you could buy these doughnuts individually, but why hold back? We know you’re dying to stuff your face with these sweet summery snacks, so for those who want to buy them in bulks, you can also get a box of a dozen of all the new flavors, plus 4 Original Glazed donuts for 2,000 yen (18.20 USD).

Although the Strawberry Chocolate Sprinkle is set to become the newest addition to the standard Krispy Kreme menu, the Watermelon, Lemon Glazed, and Old Fashion Banana flavors will only be available until July 19th, 2016. The box of 12 can only be bought during this time, too, so you might want to keep that in mind if you’re thinking of having a summer doughnut party with your friends.
