After we left Koshō-ji Temple, our next stop would be Nagoya Castle. But on the way there we couldn't resist stopping by Mister Donut ミスタ-ドナツ Misutā Donatsu in Japanese pronunciation.
This is a franchise that died out in the U.S. but is very strong in Japan, and their donuts, coffee and service are just about the best we've ever experienced.
Notice the signs in English pointing the way IN, and announcing PARKING. This is not just for the benefit of tourists!
The average Japanese knows hundreds of English words!
In the States, this kind of quality can be found, maybe, only in small, family-owned donut shops, but our chains like Dunkin' Donuts, or even Krispy Kreme, can't begin to compare.
Not too sweet, not doughy or yeasty, baked just right, glazed or filled just right, perfection. They also have other things at Mister Donut, such as mini-quiches in a flaky pastry crust. This first visit I ordered one and ever after that was my favorite.
My typical order, coffee
(all you can drink), a mini-quiche, and two donuts.
Here we are paying for our donuts. Below are three graphic samples of the goods to tantalise you!
