Mister Donut, operated by Duskin, is set to delight customers with a unique partnership featuring the Uji tea specialty store, Kanbayashi Shunsho. Launching on March 26, 2025, the new collaboration titled 'Mister Donut x Kanbayashi Shunsho Vol. 1' will offer five exclusive matcha-infused products for a limited time. This collaboration marks an important milestone as it represents the ninth year of working together.
On June 6, 2025, following this exciting announcement, Mister Donut unveiled its new brand slogan: "Itsumo arunoni, itsumo atarashii. Mister Donut," translating to "Always Available, Always New." This slogan signifies the company's commitment to innovation while upholding high standards in their offerings. The first products to highlight this fresh commitment are the result of the long-standing collaboration with Kanbayashi Shunsho, known for its exquisite Uji matcha.
The 'Mister Donut x Kanbayashi Shunsho Vol. 1' releases products rich in matcha flavor, crafted to enhance the traditional fried doughnut experience. Among the items available is the 'Uji Matcha Zukushi,' which features a delightful combination of Uji matcha dough, powder, whipped cream, and warabimochi, promising a rich matcha taste experience. Priced at 270 yen for takeout and 275 yen for eat-in, this product is designed to satisfy matcha lovers.
Another tempting option is the 'Uji Matcha Chestnut Azuki,' a light and fluffy doughnut filled with chestnut paste and sweet red bean paste, coated with festive Uji matcha chocolate. This item is available for the same price as the 'Uji Matcha Zukushi,' enticing customers with its blend of flavors.
The 'Pon de Double Uji Matcha' rounds out the exclusive offerings with a chewy, ring-shaped dough comprised of Uji matcha. This product retails for 216 yen for takeout or 220 yen for eat-in, providing a double layer of matcha chocolate for that perfect indulgence.
For those craving something with a crunch, they can enjoy the 'Pon de Zakuzaku Uji Matcha Kinako.' This doughnut combines the original dough with matcha, topped with a kinako (roasted soybean flour) crunchy coating. This enticing variation costs 237 yen for takeout and 242 yen when enjoyed in-store. Additionally, the 'Pon de Uji Matcha Kuromitsu Warabimochi' offers a unique twist with filling made from brown sugar warabimochi and matcha whipped cream, similarly priced as the Kinako variant.
Mister Donut is set to release the second installment in this collaboration featuring '55th Anniversary Products' from April 23, 2025, exclusively through the Misdo Net Order. This ongoing partnership with Kanbayashi Shunsho emphasizes the brand’s dedication towards continuously offering new experiences while celebrating tradition.
This collaboration not only reflects Mister Donut's efforts in product innovation but also highlights the appetites of a discerning customer base that increasingly craves gourmet and artisanal flavors. The anticipation among customers for these new offerings is palpable, as they signify a blend of quality Japanese ingredients meeting the classic comfort of a donut.
The 'Mister Donut x Kanbayashi Shunsho Vol. 1' partnership encapsulates a blend of culture, taste, and innovation, reinforcing the importance of collaboration in bringing new culinary delights to market. It stands as a testament to the continuing evolution of Mister Donut, promising exciting developments in their product lines while cherishing longstanding relationships.
