Popular Japanese doughnut chain, Mister Donut has released a limited edition range of Matcha Green Tea doughnuts. The Matcha doughnuts will be available from May 15 until the end of July, with Mister Donut offering six different styles of Matcha doughnuts to choose from.

Here is a little more about each Doughnut:

Pon de Matcha Choco 

The Pon de Ring is Mister Donut’s signature doughnut and one of their most popular varieties. This version of the Pon de Ring called the Pon de Matcha Choco is coated with delicious Matcha chocolate. The doughnut has a mochi-mochi (chewy) texture and is a taste sensation. The Pon de Matcha Choco is 140 yen.

Krantz Ring Matcha Choco 

The Krantz Ring Matcha Choco is vanilla flavoured with a soft cake like texture. The Matcha chocolate goes really well with the vanilla Krantz Ring doughnut. The Krantz Ring Matcha Choco is 140 yen.

The Taste Test

Japan Australia is fan of Matcha so we had to give these new doughnuts a try. We headed down to our local Mister Donut but could only find three of the six styles available. We were able to pick up a Pon de Matcha Choco, Krantz Ring Matcha Choco and Misdo Bits Matcha Mix. What did we think?

The Pon de Matcha Choco was really good with a nice light and chewy texture. The Matcha chocolate was tasty but not as strong as we would have liked.

The Krantz Ring Matcha Choco was OK but not one of our favourites. The doughnut was thick and dense and was not as easy to eat as the Pon de Matcha Choco above.

The Matcha Bits Matcha Mix was our favourite of the three with a great selection of doughnuts. We really liked the Matcha Churros, which was light and sweet with that great churros texture and the Strawberry was a surprise hit with a chewy texture and sweet strawberry cream and corn flakes filling.
