Leonard's Doughnut Yokohama World Porters (Yokohama, JAPAN) ★★★☆☆

After a train ride that lasted approximately 30 minutes, we finally arrived in the heart of Yokohama city (橫濱市). It's my first time to set foot in the second largest city of Japan and needless to say, I was excited to see how our day trip would unfold in the next few hours.



The weather was a lot warmer here in Yokohama compared to Tokyo which was kind of a surprise considering that this is a port city we're talking about here.

Following a few brief stoppages at different attractions including Nippon Maru Memorial Park, we took a lazy walk along Kishamichi Promenade before finally arriving at Yokohama World Porters Mall which was currently under a bit of scaffolding.

We all managed to find something we like at World Porters mall upon our arrival. Little nugget found a Pacman arcade game which was free to play.

For me, I went downstairs to check out Leonard's Doughnut Shop next to the food court.

Originated from Hawaii, Leonard's offers a small selection of doughnuts including doughnuts with cinnamon sugar or apple cinnamon as well as sugared one with custard cream filling. 

My second doughnut of the day.

Custard cream doughnut – This looks like the baked "egg ball" (蛋球) from Honolulu Coffee Shop (檀島咖啡餅店). The only difference is the custard cream in the middle. I thought its presentation isn't the best for a doughnut but it does its job as an afternoon snack. Very very filling.

Next up for us, we are walking over to Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse, a restored warehouse that is now used as an entertainment complex that includes a shopping mall, banquet hall and event venues.
