As cherry blossom season approaches in Japan, seasonal sweets are beginning to bloom across the country. This year, Mister Donut is once again celebrating spring with a limited-time lineup of sakura-themed doughnuts designed to capture the flavors and atmosphere of the cherry blossom season.
The new collection, released on March 11, 2026, features four doughnuts inspired by traditional Japanese sweets and spring flavors like strawberry and sakura. Known for its chewy “mochi-like” texture, the popular Sakura Mochi Donut base returns, offering a soft and slightly elastic bite that pairs well with the seasonal toppings and fillings.
This year’s lineup includes four varieties, each combining delicate sakura flavors with sweet strawberry accents.
Cherry Blossom Mochi Donut Spring Strawberry Whipped Daifuku Style
One of the highlights is the Cherry Blossom Mochi Donut Spring Strawberry Whipped Daifuku Style. Inspired by strawberry daifuku, the doughnut is filled with strawberry whipped cream and coated with strawberry chocolate, then finished with a light dusting of sugar for a soft and fruity flavor.
Cherry Blossom Mochi Donut Flower Strawberry Milk Custard
Another option is the Cherry Blossom Mochi Donut Flower Strawberry Milk Custard, which layers strawberry milk bean paste with custard cream between pieces of sakura dough. The doughnut is coated in white chocolate and topped with strawberry granules, creating a creamy and slightly tangy combination.
Sakura Mochi Donut Blooming Strawberry Milk
The Sakura Mochi Donut Blooming Strawberry Milk focuses on presentation. After being coated in strawberry chocolate and sprinkled with strawberry granules, strawberry milk bean paste is piped on top to resemble a cherry blossom in full bloom.
Sakura Mochi Donut Spring Scented Strawberry Flavor
For those who prefer a simpler flavor, the Sakura Mochi Donut Spring Scented Strawberry Flavor features sakura dough covered with a strawberry-flavored glaze that balances sweetness with a subtle tang.
Limited-Time Spring Treat
Prices for the doughnuts start at 205–216 yen (about $1.40–$1.50) depending on the variety, with slightly higher prices for dine-in orders.
Like many seasonal desserts in Japan, the sakura doughnut lineup will only be available until late March. With their pastel colors, strawberry flavors, and sakura-inspired designs, the doughnuts offer a sweet way to enjoy the feeling of spring—even if you’re nowhere near a cherry blossom tree.
For fans of Japanese seasonal sweets, Mister Donut’s sakura collection is another reminder that in Japan, spring isn’t just about the flowers—it’s also about the desserts that celebrate them.
