Just across the street from the I’m donut? Shibuya store, this gluten-free outpost operates as a takeaway stand. It serves the brand’s signature ‘nama’ (fresh) doughnuts – now made entirely gluten-free with Japanese rice flour in place of wheat. The dough also incorporates ingredients like pumpkin, which helps create a moist and slightly sweet doughnut.
Take your pick from eight different doughnuts, including the signature ‘I’m Free’ original, which is lightly coated in brown sugar, and the cacao – both of which are vegan-friendly. Additionally there are four cream-based doughnuts filled with a decadent cream or custard made from rice flour. The cream doughnuts come in four flavours: custard, pistachio, chocolate cream and framboise.
You’ll also find two other varieties: strawberry chocolate and caramel nuts. The former features a cocoa-flavoured doughnut coated in sweet and tangy strawberry chocolate, while the caramel nuts option is topped with caramel chocolate and homemade caramelised nuts for a satisfyingly crunchy finish.
