Celebrating 20 Years of Crispy Cream Donuts in Japan
Crispy Cream Donuts Japan Inc. (KKDJ) is marking a significant milestone as it celebrates its 20th year since entering the Japanese market. To commemorate this occasion, the company has launched an interactive event titled "Crispy Cream Donuts Fan Vote 2026," which has attracted over 80,000 votes from devoted fans. From a selection of more than 1,000 donuts developed in Japan, the top five fan favorites have been chosen and will return to the shelves for a limited time starting May 27, 2026.
The voting process began in December 2025 as part of the anniversary festivities. KKDJ nominated 50 of the most popular donuts from its extensive history in Japan, inviting fans to choose their favorite through special websites, social media platforms, and in-store voting. The response has been overwhelmingly positive, culminating in the selection of five iconic donuts that will be available across all KKD stores until June 23, 2026.
