Major donut brands are expanding their presence and product lines in Japan. In early October, Krispy Kreme launched a limited-edition ‘Krispy Kreme Premium Hokkaido Milky White Shima Enaga’ doughnut at five Hokkaido locations, featuring a design inspired by the Shima Enaga bird.

By late October, expansion efforts continued with Randy’s Donuts opening a new takeout-only specialty store at Tokyo Skytree Town Solamachi. Additionally, Krispy Kreme Japan announced the November launch of ‘Doggie Doughnuts’, a line of six dog-friendly biscuit varieties designed to resemble popular donut flavors.
