I'm donut? Harajuku store, aim for a rainy day!
I visited the very popular donut specialty store "I'm donut? Harajuku store" in Harajuku!
I visited on a weekday after 12:00 pm. Usually there is a long line of people waiting in line, but it was rainy and cold that day, so we hoped there would be fewer people waiting in line. As a result, the waiting time was only about 10 minutes! This is quite a favorable condition.
While waiting in line, menus are passed around. When I asked the clerk about the most popular menu item, the most popular was the "plain" menu. She also told me that matcha and chocolate are also popular. Many people purchase these three.

The reason why the raw doughnuts at the Harajuku store are so great!
The Harajuku store deep-fries its donuts in oil that is hotter than that used at other stores in order to maximize the sticky texture of the raw donuts. The oil used is organic shortening with no trans fatty acids.
The dough is fermented at low temperature for a long time, and oven-roasted pumpkin is mixed in with the skin as a binding agent to maintain a high water content and to achieve a sticky texture.
The "I'm donut? Harajuku store's limited "deep-fried fresh donuts" are available only at the Harajuku store.
Next time, I'd like to try the deep-fried fresh doughnut, which was sold out at the Harajuku store only.
The regular "I'm donut?" (237 yen) is not freshly fried even if you buy it first thing in the morning.
There is actually an eat-in space on the second floor!
This is the first time I learned that the restaurant has an eat-in space on the second floor. I would definitely like to use it next time.
Recommendation] The most delicious was the "pistachio.
Personally, my favorite is the "pistachio" filled with cream. The doughnuts are all small in size, but they are so moist and chewy that I could eat as many as I wanted!
The cream is so plentiful ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡!
