Haritts Donuts in Japan opens its doors at 8am everyday and it’s not uncommon to find a handful of people waiting in line even before the store's opening hours. To date, Haritts Donuts in Japan is 15 years old and is still going strong. Ben first tried Haritts Donuts in 2015 in Japan and it's not far-fetched to say that it changed his life! "I’m not a big fan of donuts but Haritts Donuts was so amazingly good that it changed my perception of donuts. I was so impressed by their donuts that I made the effort to get in touch with the owners of Haritts Donuts to understand how and why their donuts can be so good. And after 2 years of learning the Haritts way of making donuts and their philosophy, the Japanese founders and I decided to set up a shop in Singapore together."
