Krispy Kreme Japan is celebrating Matcha Day with a new Kome-Dough Matcha Cream rice-flour doughnut.
For a while now, Krispy Kreme Japan has been serving up a popular rice-flour doughnut called the 'Kome-Dough,' which is made from domestically grown rice flour and has a subtle sweet chew. Now, the brand is looking to celebrate Matcha Day on February 6th with a special Kome-Dough Matcha Cream version of the doughnut. This tasty treat consists of a rice flour doughnut topped with a thick layer of matcha cream and red bean paste. The whole thing is then drizzled with white chocolate, a sprinkling of powdered sugar, and a little cluster of red beans.
The new Kome-Dough Matcha Cream doughnut will be available for just a limited time from January 15th to March 12th.
