So it’s fair to say that Japan goes a bit sakura (cherry blossom) crazy and the excitement starts well in advance of the first blossoms opening. One manifestation of the build-up happens at cafes across the land, and Mister Donut duly has a range of sakura-flavored doughnuts currently. The Sakura Choco Fashion is a variation on their usual old-fashioned chocolate doughnut that uses a cherry-flavored, slightly pink dough. The flavor that (apparently) best channels that of the cherry blossoms is definitely cherry, but it’s more mild than what gets used for just plain cherry offerings. It’s nice enough, anyway, and it makes for an interesting doughnut. The chocolate completely dominates the cherry flavouring, but you still have the other half of the doughnut with which to enjoy that. It’s almost like getting two-for-one and I liked it well enough, though I’d probably opt for getting one or the other flavors rather than the combination in the future.
