With 40 branches across Japan,Floresta Forest Doughnuts shopslive up to their name by “housing” all kinds of adorable little animals, such as cat-, dog-, chick-, panda-, rabbit-, and koala-shaped “doughnuts,” turning the dessert shop into a veritable zoo. Even more eye-catching are the melt-in-your-mouth parent-and-child doughnuts, where mini versions of hens cradling their chicks are super kawaii, melting the hearts of many girls.

Floresta means “forest” in Portuguese. Animals live in the forest, making nature their home and achieving a balance with it. Naming the shop Floresta also carries the hope that humans and nature can coexist in harmony and mutual dependence. Therefore, it’s not hard to understand why the doughnuts sold here focus on being natural and guilt-free.

Floresta’s doughnuts are handmade, and to ensure customers enjoy the freshest products, almost all doughnuts are made fresh daily. The ingredients are specially selected as domestic, natural, and additive-free organic materials. Even the cleaning and washing supplies used in the store are chosen to be environmentally friendly natural products. To reduce the burden on the Earth, the packaging is kept as simple and unadorned as possible.
