I tried Mr. Donut's 'Raw Pon de Double Uji Hojicha / Uji Hojicha Kinako' which allows you to enjoy the fragrant flavor of roasted green tea along with a chewy texture

'Misdo meets Gion Tsujiri', a collaboration menu between Mister Donut and Uji tea specialty store 'Gion

Tsujiri ', will be offering ' Raw Pon de Double Uji Hojicha ' and ' Raw Pon de Double Uji Hojicha Kinako ' for a limited time from Wednesday, April 24, 2024. I was interested in the doughnuts, which were made by kneading Gion Tsujiri's Uji Hojicha into the chewy dough of raw Pon de Ring, and I actually tried them.

Arrived at Mister Donut.

I bought 'Raw Pon de Double Uji Hojicha' (left) and 'Raw Pon de Double Uji Hojicha Kinako' (right) as takeout.

First, I will try the 'Raw Pon de Double Uji Hojicha'.

The surface is coated with Uji roasted green tea glaze.

The dough is a deep brown all the way through, and you can clearly see that Gion Tsujiri's roasted green tea has been kneaded into it.

When you actually try it, the chewy texture of the Pon de Ring dough and the fragrant and bittersweet flavor of roasted green tea spread in your mouth. The moderate sweetness of the glaze brings out the bitterness of the roasted green tea, making it a donut that is worth eating if you like roasted green tea.

Next up is the 'Nama Pon de Double Uji Houjicha Kinako.' This one does not have a glaze coating, but instead has a sprinkling of kinako sugar on the surface.

You can enjoy an even more fragrant flavor by adding the roasted green tea syrup provided with the snack just before eating.

This is what it looks like when you pour the thick roasted green tea syrup over it.

When I tried it, the combination of roasted green tea, kinako, and roasted green tea honey gave it an even more fragrant taste. Since there was no glaze on the surface, the chewy texture of the Pon de Ring was even more pronounced, and it was a Japanese-style donut that would be mistaken for a dumpling if you closed your eyes and ate it.

'Raw Pon de Double Uji Hojicha' and 'Raw Pon de Double Uji Hojicha Kinako' will be available for a limited time from Wednesday, April 24, 2024 to late May at Mister Donuts nationwide, except for some stores. The price of 'Raw Pon de Double Uji Hojicha' is 216 yen (tax included) for takeout and 220 yen (tax included) for eat-in. 'Raw Pon de Double Uji Hojicha Kinako' is 237 yen (tax included) for takeout and 242 yen (tax included) for eat-in.
