The description
This product is a 7 grain donut and it's a limited time offering available from Tully's Coffee stores across the country. It was priced at 325 yen including tax.
The good
If you're looking for a donut fix but you feel a little bit guilty when you indulge, this 7 grain donut option from Tully's could help overcome those thoughts! As the name suggests, it contains seven different grains (glutinous millet, barley, black sesame, azuki beans, soybeans, black rice, and glutinous foxtail millet), so it really packs in some nutritional punch. It does have a bit of an earthier taste as a result, but I liked it. It's also coated in powdered sugar, which definitely gives it enough sweetness (and offsets some of the earthiness) in my opinion!
The not so good
This is just a limited time item (although they have had it on their menu before), so if you find yourself really enjoying it you've gotta get your fix fast before it disappears. Also, if you don't really care for earthier-feeling flavors, then this probably isn't the best donut option for you! Overall though, I liked this a lot. It does make you feel like you can have your cake and eat it too, and that's always a nice thing. Keep an eye out for it at your nearest Tully's store if it sounds like an item you'd like to try -- happy eating! :)
