Japan’s viral Mocchurin Mochi Donuts from Mister Donut are making their Singapore debut from 1 July to 31 August 2026 as a limited-time offering at all outlets islandwide. After becoming a social media sensation in Japan—where they regularly sold out and attracted long queues—the chewy doughnuts are expected to be popular with Singapore consumers as well.

Unlike traditional doughnuts, Mocchurin is made with rice flour, giving it an exceptionally soft, stretchy and chewy texture that Mister Donut describes as going beyond regular mochi. Because production is more labour-intensive, only limited quantities will be available daily. (Great Deals Singapore)

Three flavours will be available, each priced at S$3:

• Kinako – coated with roasted soybean flour.

• Red Bean – filled with Hokkaido red bean paste and dusted with icing sugar.

• Double Sesame – featuring black sesame filling and toasted white sesame seeds.

Customers who want to try all three can purchase the Mocchurin Mochi Bundle for S$8 (usual value S$9). Due to the specialised preparation process, these doughnuts are excluded from Mister Donut’s regular six-piece and ten-piece bundle promotions. (Great Deals Singapore)

The launch continues Mister Donut Singapore’s strategy of releasing exclusive seasonal products following successful promotions such as its MILO and bubble tea-inspired doughnuts. The chain recently celebrated its third anniversary in Singapore with limited-edition Pon De Lion-themed products, further strengthening its appeal among Japanese snack enthusiasts. (Alvinology)

With Singaporeans already familiar with Mister Donut since its permanent return in 2023, many expect the Mocchurin series to generate strong demand, especially during the opening weeks. Customers hoping to try the viral Japanese treat are advised to visit early, as daily stocks are expected to sell out quickly. (Great Deals Singapore)
