"This Japanese bakery in the International District is a great place to pick up a fresh malasada. They have a handful of standard Hawaiian flavors like ube and lilikoi, but the greatest one here is the Crunchy Cream—vanilla bean-speckled custard stuffed into a brioche donut that gets rolled in sugar and cornflakes. It’s a nightmare to bite into if you just vacuumed your car, but absolutely worth it. We’re also fans of their mochi donuts, and if you’re reading this without a sweet tooth, you could also grab a curry kare-pan, a fried panko-coated bun filled with beef and Japanese curry." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley, gabe guarente
