Introducing JUGAAD BROS DOUGHNUTS

Hello there! It’s Mofumofu 🐈, writer for [SaruKuma].

Today I’m excited to share a charming little spot located in Maemibara, Yamato Town, Kamimashiki District:
JUGAAD BROS DOUGHNUTS.

This delightful doughnut shop newly opened on Saturday, July 16, 2022!

What makes this place truly special? The owners renovated this traditional Japanese house (kominka) entirely by themselves!

They told us, “Everything except the water, electricity, and gas is handmade by us!” — which absolutely blew our minds Σ(･ω･ﾉ)ﾉ!

Step inside and… wow, the interior is incredibly stylish!

The warm wooden tones paired with vibrant orange tablecloths create an atmosphere I absolutely adore!

There’s also a counter seat — perfect for solo travelers wanting to relax with a coffee and doughnut!

In the back, there’s a lovely tatami area that families with kids will adore, complete with picture books and toys ✨
The selection of picture books is impressive — even adults might find themselves saying, “Oh, I remember this one!” with a touch of nostalgia.

【Please remove your shoes before entering the tatami area 🐾 — a traditional Japanese custom】

The toys include wooden blocks and little vehicles, so children stay happily entertained ♪
Meanwhile, parents can enjoy a moment of peace with a delicious doughnut 🍩✨

They offer three distinct dough types: Vegan, Old Fashioned, and Bambalouni!

・Plain Glazed (Vegan) — ¥280

・Blueberry Crumble (Vegan) — ¥380

・Fig Glazed (Vegan) — ¥400

・Espresso Glazed (Vegan) — ¥380

The mini doughnuts are perfectly sized for little ones ✨

The drink menu is wonderfully varied too!

・Americano — Hot ¥450 / Iced ¥500

・Japanese Black Tea (Wakocha) — Hot ¥410 / Iced ¥440

・Organic Ginger Ale — ¥350

・Organic Juice (Apple / Orange) — ¥350

This time, I enjoyed the Chocolate Pistachio (Old Fashioned) along with Japanese black tea, right inside the shop 🤭

Here’s the surprise: the dough actually contains spices! I thought it would be too sophisticated for kids, but my child happily munched away! 😊

Because it’s not overly sweet, it’s a great choice for men too — I felt like I could keep eating one after another ♪
And the Japanese black tea? Absolutely delicious ✨

Even better, there’s a tea plantation right nearby, and visitors can actually go see it!

And the most popular item among repeat customers — the Bambalouni (Vegan) at ¥300 — is actually a traditional Tunisian doughnut! 🍩

Each one is fried fresh to order, so it arrives piping hot and wonderfully chewy! (Once it cools slightly, it becomes even more delightfully chewy ✨)
The entire doughnut is generously coated in sugar ☆

It looked so irresistibly delicious that I ended up grabbing some for takeout too 💕

While it’s a bit of a drive from central Kumamoto City, the journey through mountains and rivers makes for a wonderfully refreshing change of scenery 🚗✨
It’s a great reminder of how rejuvenating it can be to escape into nature now and then!

The famous Tsujun Bridge (Tsujunkyo) — a stunning historic stone aqueduct — is also nearby, so be sure to swing by JUGAAD BROS DOUGHNUTS when you’re exploring the area! ♪
