Japan is a beloved travel destination in the New Idea office, so when we heard that Krispy Kreme has a Passport to Japan Range, we knew that we had to try it.
They’ve jumped in on the yuzu and strawberry shortcake trends, and the results were very surprising.
It feels like Japanese bakeries and specialised dessert bars are popping up left, right and centre.
With food reviews popping up constantly about Japanese treats in Australia, it’s fair to say that there is an appetite for it Down Under.
So, are they worth trying?
Japan is high on my travel bucket list, so I wanted to get a taste of it before I went and joined the New Idea team in an in-office tasting.
First up, we tried the Japanese Cheesecake Doughnut, which has a delectable cream and is hand-dipped in a white truffle coating, topped with a caramel drizzle.
This one was a win in the office, and the perfect afternoon tea treat. I loved its creaminess and lightness, which is what makes the beloved dessert stand out from the rest.
Next, there was the Strawberry Shortcake Doughnut.
Topped with a sweet strawberry truffle and dipped in a crumbly shortcake cookie blend, it is definitely pretty to look at.
For those in desperate need of a morning sugar hit, or even an afternoon pick-me-up, it’s perfect for that. For those who might not like things too sweet, I wouldn’t recommend it, as I found it a touch too sugary.
Finally, we tried the Citrus Yuzu Burst Doughnut, which divided the office.
Topped in yellow icing, it promises to be filled with a tangy yuzu-flavoured cream. However, some of the New Idea team thought the cream tasted artificial, but the doughnuts themselves were tasty.
If you want to try them for yourselves, make sure you do before September 1. Don’t worry about lining up, because you can order them online here.
