I'm donut? Tokyo & Seoul Guide: From Nakameguro to Seongsu
Tokyo Mate
I'm donut? is a donut specialty shop that created a 1-hour waiting legend in Tokyo and Fukuoka with its unique concept—"Am I a donut?" True to its name, when you bite into one, you'll experience something special: "It's a donut, but not quite a donut."
The dough is made by kneading flour with whole pumpkin for deep flavor, then slowly fermented at low temperature for a long time before being quickly fried at high temperature. This creates a chewy exterior and soft interior with the texture of a fresh donut.
Starting in Nakameguro, Tokyo, I'm donut is a brand infused with the sensibility and philosophy of Chef Ryota Hirako. After expanding to New York's Times Square, it arrived in Seoul's Seongsu in 2025.
