A Sweet Revolution at Kappa Sushi

Kappa Sushi, a prominent name in the sushi world, is making waves with its recent announcement: the introduction of 'Kappa's Shari Donuts.' These delightful donuts, made from 100% domestic rice, particularly the premium Hainuki variety, will be available for dine-in and takeout beginning September 4, 2025. Priced at an appealing 110 yen for a pair, they are perfect for a sweet ending to any meal.

Founded in Nagano, Kappa Sushi is built on a foundation of delivering joy through delicious sushi and a unique serving style where sushi rolls glide along a waterway in a traditional wooden sushi boat. The restaurant chain's commitment to quality and fun has made it a beloved choice for sushi lovers. Kappa Sushi prides itself on continuously innovating to exceed customer expectations and provide new, exciting offerings.

At the core of their philosophy is the importance of 'shari' or sushi rice. Kappa Sushi’s rice is special—utilizing only 100% domestically sourced grains, emphasizing the cultural significance of rice in Japanese cuisine. The belief that 'each grain of rice has seven gods' reveals its deep-seated reverence for this staple. With the creation of Shari Donuts, Kappa Sushi aims to present an engaging way to enjoy their beloved rice in a new format.

The meticulous development process behind Kappa's Shari Donuts has resulted in a delightful product. The donuts boast a unique chewy texture, thanks to the careful balance of shari and donut dough, leading to an exquisite taste that pairs the crispiness of freshly fried donuts with the flavorful richness of sushi rice. Customers can choose between two toppings: the delicate sweetness of Hokkaido soybean kinako (roasted soybean flour) or a warm, sweet cinnamon blend—both enhancing the flavor profile of this innovative treat.

Kappa Sushi offers these donuts in two convenient options: a set of two for immediate enjoyment at the restaurant and a take-home option of five donuts, making them ideal for sharing with family and friends. This fun, interactive dessert experience aligns perfectly with Kappa Sushi’s mission to enhance meal times with shared joy and fun.
