$20 for a dozen!!!
(other food, and tax/tip not included)
People have lost their damn minds once again in the "craze" of these Hawaiian Mochi Donuts! We arrived after lunch at the Mitsuwa Marketplace in San Jose off Saratoga Ave. The line was out the door! My friends got in line, I went in to scope out how long it would be. I passed the automatic doors and saw the line twisted to and fro, back and forth, amongst various food stands and displays. I inquired the length of time people were waiting, 2-3 hrs was the wait time.
OMG! No frick'n way!!!
No pastry was worth that wait!Luckily, my friend came in to see the line size and saw their sister in law and was able to snag a few to share with us! Thanks CHAN! The max you could get for one person was a dozen for $20.
Now don't get me wrong, the donuts were very tasty and had that slight chewiness of fresh pastries combined with mochi, but they weren't mind blowing crazy good. The best donut was the one lightly sprinkled with cinnamon, sugar, and matcha powder vs the other "dipped" flavors, which seemed to over power and weigh down the donuts. While they were tasty, I wouldn't have waited 3 hrs or paid $20 for just 12 donuts. Especially when there are 2 other donut shops in the area and a crispy creme where you could get your donut fix with less time and money.
