Krispy Kreme Celebrates National Donut Day with Sweet Surprises Across Japan

Celebrate National Donut Day with Krispy Kreme

The first Friday of June marks a delicious occasion in the U.S.—National Donut Day. This year, on June 6, 2025, Krispy Kreme Doughnuts Japan, led by CEO Takako Wakatsuki, will join the festivities by treating customers to a complimentary Original Glazed donut with the purchase of any item.

The event will take place across all Krispy Kreme locations, offering a total of 10,000 Original Glazed donuts for free, while supplies last. This yearly celebration not only highlights the joy of donuts but also reflects the brand's commitment to delighting its customers.

For those unfamiliar, Krispy Kreme’s Original Glazed donut has been crafted from a secret recipe unchanged since the company’s inception in 1937. These donuts, featuring a fluffy yeast-based dough coated in a gooey glaze, are beloved for their melt-in-your-mouth texture. They have won the hearts of many, maintaining their status as the brand's signature product.

The giveaway will commence as each store opens, with the potential for lines forming quickly as eager fans seek to enjoy their free treats. Three selected Krispy Kreme locations will offer an additional exclusive opportunity: at the Tokyo International Forum, Shibuya Cine Tower, and Funabashi LaLaport TOKYO-BAY stores, customers can enjoy a warm, freshly made “Original Glazed” from 1 PM to 3 PM on that day—marked by illuminated “HOT LIGHT” signs in the stores.

“We want to make our customers smile with donuts on National Donut Day,” mencionó Takako Wakatsuki. This spirit of sharing joy is carried through in the campaign, making delicious donuts accessible to all who participate.
