The Krispy Kreme Sweet Tsukimi Full Moon promotion is being run by the brand as a Japan exclusive offering that pays homage to tsukimi (moon viewing) to encourage consumers to pick up a sweet treat for celebrations.
The promotion consists of the all-new Krispy Kreme Premium Tokyo Moon-Viewing Marron & Cream that is crafted with the night sky as the inspiration. The donut starts off with a whipped cream-filled donut that's paired with a swirl of chestnut paste alongside a dark chocolate coating and a final dusting of gold leaf. These details achieve the look of the night sky in a decidedly delicious way.
The Krispy Kreme Sweet Tsukimi Full Moon promotion will be running at the brand's flagship location through the end of October, while stock lasts.
