Donut Fact-Finding Mission 2

I recently sent my friend and trusted donut colleague Bill Peterson on a donut fact finding mission to Japan, the land of the midnight sun (or whatever). Here are some of his findings:


Japan is a nation with a rich history, and a varied and beautiful culture. All of which has been poisoned by too much exposure to American culture. Mmm, donuts. Also, apparently they have square donuts and heart shaped donuts in New York City. Who knew?


What the hell do bananas have to do with donuts? Ah, mysterious Japan. More importantly, four donuts in a box = empty box. Anything less than a dozen is a crime against humanity.


In Japan, they have donuts on sticks. Mmm, donuts. Bill claims that he bought 3 dozen of these for this weeks Donut Wednesday, but they were seized by the TSA. Something about “Delicious, dangerous contraband.”

each donuts in MD japan is very expensive compared to that of america (costs at least 100yens a piece), but it is SO DELICIOUS!
(especially Pon de Ring series)

also, since the stores change their selections regularly, you never get tired of eating :]

for me, its more about quality than quantity.
