Yanaka Manten Donuts Kitasenju-ten

Yanaka Manten Donuts Kitasenju-ten bakes rather than fries its donuts, producing a straightforward crumb that lets the ingredients come forward. Bringing the style of its main shop in Yanaka Ginza to the Hinodecho housing complex area of Kitasenju, it offers an easy neighborhood stop for a light treat.

The shelves highlight approachable everyday flavors, anchored by the classic plain donut alongside clean, sweet maple, chocolate chip, cocoa, and cinnamon. Earthier options also hold a regular place throughout the year, including fragrant matcha, gently sweet satsumaimo sweet potato, and pumpkin garnished with seeds, giving plenty of variety to match the mood.

Inside, counter and table seating let guests pause for a drink alongside their donuts, with coffee options including brews from Mikado Coffee. Takeaway is well accommodated, whether you are picking up a box of snacks to bring home or grabbing something quickly from the vending machine out front.
