It is so popular and famous that "koé donuts" is the first name that comes to mind when talking about donuts in Kyoto, and it is easily accessible, just a 1-minute walk from Kawaramachi Station on the Hankyu Kyoto Line, a donut shop near the station.
The bamboo baskets decorating the store are made from bamboo from Arashiyama, Kyoto, creating an ethical interior. You can sense koé donuts' commitment to organic materials and local production for local consumption.
The most popular "Doughnut Melt" is a hearty product sandwiched between fresh cream and strawberries. It looks cute and is sure to be a hit on social networking sites!
We also recommend Kyoto-style doughnuts such as the "Baked Doughnut Goshiki-mame (five-colored beans)" and the "Red Shiso Cruller," which are made from beans.
