Mister Donut Calpis Donuts

Mister Donut Japan has released a summer series of donuts in collaboration with Calpis. For those who don’t know, Calpis is a Japanese soft drink with a light, milky taste, similar to a yoghurt or yakult. Mister Donut in April released a Hello Kitty series of donuts that was very popular.

The new Mister Donut Calpis Donuts went on sale on July 7 with Calpis (ramune soda) and Calpis (strawberry) flavours available.

The donuts come in different styles such as the Calpis Star Donut Soda, Calpis Star Donut Strawberry, Calpis Cream Donut, Calpis Pon de Soda, and Calpis French Style Donut Soda.

Calpis Star Donut Soda 

Calpis Star Donut Soda (147 yen) contains Calpis cream and is topped with a soda flavoured chocolate and silver sugar. It was designed especially for Tanabata which coincides with the anniversary of Calpis. The Calpis flavour matches this donut style best in our opinion as its light and fluffy.

Calpis Star Donut Strawberry 

Calpis Star Donut Strawberry (147 yen) contains Calpis cream and is topped with strawberry flavoured chocolate and silver sugar. This was by far and away our favourite as we really liked the sweet strawberry chocolate icing.

Calpis Cream Donut 

Calpis Cream Donut (136 yen) contains Calpis cream and is coated in sugar.

Calpis Pon de Soda

Calpis Pon de Soda (147 yen) contains Calpis cream as a filling and is partly topped with a soda flavoured chocolate. We found this our least favourite as the Calpis filling and topping was very strong and overpowering.

 Calpis French Style Donut 

Calpis French Style Donut Soda (147 yen) contains Calpis cream as a filling and is partly topped with a soda flavoured chocolate. The Calpis flavour was also a good match with the French Style donut but it still has a very strong soda flavour.

    I've never been a donut fan, but these look nice enough to try. ^^

      Thanks Ru, I'm a huge donut fan and a regular visitor to both Mister Donut and Krispy Kreme. These are a good summer flavour :)

    I wonder whether this donut will ever be on the shelves of Mister Donut in Malaysia. ;)

    Oh, they're still available? I tried one of them quite a while ago - the blue star. I really didn't like it. It tasted too artificial. ^^;

      Thanks ZJ, I enjoyed them but they wouldn't be in my all-time favourite category. The calpis taste is quite strong in my opinion.

    I love Mister Donut! Whenever I go to Japan I eat way too many of their donuts. I hope the calpis donut will still be around during my upcoming trip (late September - late October). It doesn't necessarily sound good but I still want to try it!

      Hello L, The campaign is over now but you can still find the Calpis donuts at some stores in a limited selection. I hope you can give it a try :)
