Higuma Doughnuts

Biting into a treat from Higuma Doughnuts leaves an immediate impression of lightness, paired with an airy yet gently chewy crumb. The dough places Hokkaido-grown ingredients at the forefront; opting for the unadorned Plain reveals the inherent depth of the wheat alongside a gentle, lingering sweetness as you chew. The lineup highlights the character of its ingredients, from Sugar dusted with delicately sweet Hokkaido beet sugar to Kuromame Salt Kinako made with pesticide-free black soybeans from Makubetsu in Tokachi, and the in-store exclusive Honey Mascarpone, which pairs the dough with Hokkaido mascarpone cheese.

Savory Plates and Rich Soft-Serve Ice Cream

Beyond sweet pastries, this flagship shop stands out for offering a satisfying savory meal. Menu items exclusive to the Gakugeidaigaku main branch include HIGUMA's Homemade Sausage, seasoned purely with spices and pork raised in the natural surroundings of Hidaka, as well as the HIGUMA's Hamburger Set served with fries. Guests can also linger over a rich soft-serve ice cream, HIGUMA Soft, packed with the concentrated creaminess of Hokkaido milk, alongside a cup of deep, aromatic coffee.

Indoor seating is available, making the shop just as convenient for a solo break as it is for picking up a box of doughnuts to take home or give as a souvenir. Operating from 10:00 to 19:00 every day except Wednesday, it offers an easy stop while strolling through the neighborhood.
