Krispy Kreme Japan Unveils Exciting New Spring Lineup
Krispy Kreme Japan (KKDJ), headquartered in Tokyo's Shibuya district and led by CEO Takako Wakatake, is thrilled to announce the launch of three delightful spring donuts starting February 25, 2026. This limited edition collection is crafted to cater to the diverse texture preferences of Japanese customers, showcasing unique dough variations that enhance the overall taste experience. Additionally, customers can enjoy two delightful tea drinks that pair perfectly with the new donuts.
Krispy Kreme, a beloved American donut brand, has successfully tailored its offerings to suit Japanese taste buds, creating products that maintain their American roots while embracing local flavors. Since its 20th anniversary in Japan, the brand has introduced exciting new textures, including the innovative “Crueller Dough,” designed to provide a satisfying and unique “zaku-poro” crunch. Utilizing durum wheat flour—commonly used for pasta—this new dough brings a delightful contrast of a light, crisp exterior with a soft, tender interior.
In tandem with the introduction of the new Crueller Dough, KKDJ has also improved its popular Kome-Dough series. An internal survey indicated that over 90% of KKD employees found the updated dough even more delicious than before, highlighting its enhanced chewiness and overall flavor, making it a standout in the lineup.
New Spring Flavors
The spring collection features three exciting donut flavors, each highlighting the unique textures that KKD is known for:
1.
Pistachio White Chocolate Crueller: This new Crueller donut is coated in milky white chocolate and topped with a crunchy pistachio and buttery crumble, providing a multi-textural treat that is both indulgent and refreshing, perfect for spring.
2.
Spring Lemonade: Made with KKDJ's signature yeast dough, this donut is enveloped in a sweet-tart lemonade glaze and garnished with diced lemon peel, creating a vibrant yellow treat that captures the essence of spring in every bite.
3.
Kome-Dough Strawberry Milk: This updated version of the Kome-Dough offers a delightful blend of sweet vanilla and strawberry creams, enhanced with freeze-dried strawberries for a burst of flavor and color, creating a deliciously sweet experience.
Alongside these delightful donuts, KKDJ will offer two refreshing tea drinks that evoke the flavors of spring:
- - Strawberry Jasmine Tea Latte: A charming pink drink made with fragrant jasmine tea mixed with strawberry fruit sauce and milk, topped with vanilla syrup for a gentle aroma, making it a perfect springtime companion.
- - Gyokuro Sencha Lemonade: Reintroduced after its success last spring, this tea lemonade combines the rich flavors of Kumamoto’s premium gyokuro with refreshing lemonade, creating a rejuvenating and light beverage option.
Availability for the new products begins on February 25, 2026, and they will be available until early April while supplies last. Customers are encouraged to explore the delightful combinations of these new textures and flavors, and rediscover the joy of Krispy Kreme's offerings this spring.
