Krispy Kreme in Shinjuku

Originally uploaded by TokyoNowadays.

I’ve been meaning to mention how there always seems to be a line for buying donuts at the Krispy Kreme store outside of Shinjuku station. I wonder if they’re as sickingly sugary sweet as in the US. (My taste buds aren’t what they used to be.)

Bloggin’ at you from the Yahoo Flickr widget…

  1. That’s the whole point of a raised doughnut, Sluggo.

    The line is amazing, I’m near there quite a bit and it’s over on the bridge from morning to night. Insane.

    The sign’s down, you were there recently, Rich. Any idea why a two-month-old sign would be down already?

  2. Wow is their anything the Japanese will not line up for? We have a guy in this country called Dom Joly he does crazy stuff to people, not physical more mental take a look http://www.funny-videos.co.uk/videoTriggerHappy.html

    Anyway it would be funny to create a fake sign like wait here for the new … nintendo ds or some other gadget, and see how many would wait in a line for it.

  3. I have tried them and they are the same recipe as back in the states. Some guys from the corporate office came over and got them started up. I spoke with them while i was there.
