Mister Donut is set to delight dessert enthusiasts with its latest collaboration featuring the renowned Uji tea provider, Gion Tsujiri. Launching on March 26, 2025, this limited edition lineup marks the first of several exciting offerings from the long-standing partnership between the two brands.
Gion Tsujiri, a Kyoto-based company founded in 1860, is celebrated for its high-quality Uji matcha tea. The collaboration builds on the tradition of innovation and quality, allowing fans to indulge in five unique doughnuts that cleverly incorporate rich matcha flavors.
The five new items include the 'Uji Matcha Zukushi,' 'Uji Matcha Chestnut Azuki,' 'Pon de Double Uji Matcha,' 'Pon de Zaku Uji Matcha Kinako,' and 'Pon de Uji Matcha Brown Sugar Warabimochi.' Each product is crafted to showcase the extraordinary qualities of Uji matcha, elevating the doughnut experience.
'Uji Matcha Zukushi,' for instance, is a standout with its combination of four ingredients: Uji matcha from Gion Tsujiri, matcha powder, whipped cream, and warabimochi. This delicious creation delivers a delightful blend of flavors and textures, making it a must-try for matcha connoisseurs. It is priced at 270 yen for takeout and 275 yen for eat-in.
Another tempting option is the 'Uji Matcha Chestnut Azuki.' This unique treat features a light dough that has been infused with Uji matcha, generously coated with Uji matcha chocolate, and filled with a delectable mixture of sweetened chestnut paste and azuki bean paste. It combines refreshing flavours and costs the same as the Uji Matcha Zukushi, making it a great addition to any matcha lover's palate.
Additionally, the collaboration continues to offer the beloved Pon de series. The 'Pon de Double Uji Matcha' features a chewy ring dough with Uji matcha and chocolate coating, promising a rich taste for only 216 yen for takeout or 220 yen if you choose to dine in. The 'Pon de Zaku Uji Matcha Kinako' adds a crunch factor with kinako (roasted soybean flour) that blends beautifully with the matcha-infused dough, priced at 237 yen for takeout and 242 yen for eat-in.
The 'Pon de Uji Matcha Brown Sugar Warabimochi' rounds out the offerings, filled with both warabimochi and matcha whipped cream, dusted with kinako sugar. This dessert not only captivates the taste buds but also brings a visual charm to the plate at the same price as the previous Pon de item, further enhancing its appeal.
According to the team at Mister Donut, the excitement surrounding these products is palpable, especially with the added seasonal touch that Uji matcha brings. The first installment of this gastronomic collaboration will be available until late May 2025.
Fans are already keenly anticipating the second installment, which is scheduled to begin on April 23, 2025, promising a special '55th Anniversary Commemorative Product' that will feature even more extravagant matcha flavors exclusively through the Misdo Net Order platform.
The long-standing collaboration between Mister Donut and Gion Tsujiri offers customers a unique opportunity to enjoy gourmet-style desserts that fuse traditional Japanese tea culture with contemporary culinary creativity. As the launch date approaches, customers are encouraged to mark their calendars and indulge in these delightful sweet treats.
For those who appreciate the authentic taste of Japanese sweets, this collaboration not only showcases the versatility of Uji matcha but also highlights the dedication both brands have to delivering high-quality products. Whether enjoyed alone or shared with friends, these doughnuts are set to become iconic representations of flavor and innovation.
