The description
This product is a matcha old fashioned donut, and it's part of 7-11's store branded bakery range. It was priced at a reasonable 149 yen including tax.
The good
As a lover of a wide variety of baked goods *and* a big fan of matcha flavored things, this matcha old fashioned donut from 7-11 hit a couple of my "like-list" items before even opening it. The price feels very reasonable at only 149 yen including tax, so if you're after a quick on-the-go bite or a sweet treat that won't break the bank, then this is a good option IMO. The product also maximizes the matcha flavor in several ways. There's matcha mixed into the donut dough, and it's topped with a matcha chocolate coating. Despite there being matcha incorporated in several ways, the product still felt balanced and not like a matcha overload.
The not so good
In my opinion, there's not a great deal to complain about with this product. It feels reasonably priced (just under 150 yen!!), the flavor is good, and it feels balanced with the matcha complementing the donut but not overpowering it. I do think some folks won't like it, as it does still have the trademark matcha flavor, but I don't think you're gonna buy a vivid green donut if you're not already a matcha fan. Keep an eye out for this one at your nearest 7-11 store if it sounds appealing to you. Happy eating, and enjoy!
