Having visiting six doughnut shops on this trip already, I thought it wouldn’t hurt to add a seventh to the grand total. And this is one of my favorite doughnut shops in Osaka, just around the corner from where we had lunch at Grand Green Osaka.
Located inside LUCUA 1100, PG Donuts is a popular artisanal bakery chain best known for their incredibly light and fluffy nama-cream filled donuts.
While their pistachio donut stole my heart a couple of years ago, I decided to go with their Earl Grey donut this afternoon.
Earl Grey donut (475 yen) — This features an exceptionally soft dough with a rich, melting custard-cream blend.
What sets PG Donuts apart from other competitors is the light and airy custard cream — it feels more like whipped cream than a thick, dense custard. The Earl Grey flavor was also gentler and lighter, closer to a royal milk tea than a bold, intense Earl Grey.
It was sweeter than I remembered, but the crust still remained one of the thinnest in the business.
