I'm donut? Hakata Ekimae will offer approximately 15 types of raw donuts, including four new items. Among them, the 'Premium Matcha Cream' donut generously uses Fukuoka's Yame matcha in both the dough and cream, delivering a special treat that fully captures the rich aroma and subtle bitterness of Yame matcha. Additionally, the 'Coffee Donut' features a cream made with house-roasted coffee beans from the adjacent dacō, expanding the ways customers can enjoy coffee.

The Hakata Ekimae store operates as a takeout-only location with orders placed via ticket vending machines, aiming to provide a convenient stop during daily commutes. All raw donuts are made fresh in the in-store kitchen, allowing customers to enjoy watching them being prepared before receiving their order.

Leveraging the convenience of its location in front of Hakata Station, we hope our raw donuts will become a treat for oneself, a companion while walking through the city, or a gift for loved ones before heading on a journey—enjoyed across various moments in everyday life.

Brand Overview

- About I'm donut? (I'm donut?)

A raw donut specialty store created by owner-chef Ryota Hirako. Opened its first store in Nakameguro, Tokyo, in March 2022 and currently operates 10 stores nationwide. Known for its unique 'raw' texture—crispy on the outside, fluffy and dissolving inside—so novel that both eaters and donuts themselves might wonder, 'Am I really a donut?' The brand has gained widespread attention for its original recipes and visuals that challenge conventional donut concepts.

In April 2025, the brand will open its first overseas store in New York, followed by a second in Taiwan in July and a third in Seoul, South Korea, in September, expanding its presence both domestically and internationally.

- About dacō (Dakō)

An alternative brand to AMAM DACOTAN (Amamu Dakotan). First opened in Sakurashinmachi, Tokyo, in October 2023, and has since expanded to seven locations across Japan, including Ochanomizu and Nakameguro. Under the concept of a 'city-style bakery' that meets modern demands, dacō offers small-sized, single-portion breads that overturn traditional bread norms. Designed to bring the joy of choice and the comfort of finishing every bite, the brand aims to make bread more accessible and enjoyable. Alongside a wide variety of carefully curated drinks, it provides a relaxed space where customers can casually enjoy bread.
