While the chain is known for its [chewy and stretchy donuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/komedough), these new items lend themselves well to the familiar format. On the menu, consumers can now choose from Pon de Chigiri-pan varieties like sugar or cheese, which combines a mix of cheese sauces and shredded cheese for a flavorful, texture-rich experience. There's also the mentaiko Pon de Chigiri-pan, which combines mayonnaise with fish roe. For those who love things sweet and simple, Mister Donut also created a sugar-glazed, granulated sugar-topped treat for those who may be looking for something more familiar and donut-like. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.2/10 - Popularity: 59% | Activity: 57% | Freshness: 9% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Sweet and Savory Breakfast Foods:** Opportunity for innovative food combinations for breakfast menus, catering to adventurous eaters and expanding flavor profiles. - **Reimagining Existing Formats:** Modernizing classic baked goods with new flavors and textures can breathe new life into traditional menu items. - **Brand Expansion:** Exploring new food categories and creating excitement around new offerings can help differentiate and grow a company's brand. ### Where This Applies - **Food and Beverage:** Opportunity for bakeries, cafes, and restaurants to innovate their breakfast menus and attract customers with new and exciting offerings. - **Retail:** Potential for packaged sweet and savory breakfast items to be sold in supermarkets or convenience stores for grab-and-go breakfast options. - **Hospitality:** Hotels and resorts can attract guests with unique breakfast offerings and create a memorable guest experience by incorporating local flavors. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Textural Savory Donut Ranges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zakumocchi-dog-donuts.md) - [Savory Japanese Donuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/im-donut.md) - [Savory Satisfying Donut Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/parlor-doughnuts-savory-doughnuts.md) - [Cartoon-Inspired Donut Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pon-de-digda.md) - [Savory Dual-Filling Donuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mister-donut-zaku-mocchi-ring.md) - [Internationally-Inspired Cheese Donuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheerful-cheese.md) - [Savory Snacking Donuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snacking-donut.md) - [Monstrous Anime Donut Ranges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mister-donut-pokmon.md) - [Roasted Green Tea Donuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/misdo-meets-gion-tsujiri.md)
