09/23/202509/24/2025

Hello there! Today, I’m taking you to Peko-chan Milky Donuts, a charming little doughnut shop inside the Yokohama World Porters shopping mall, right by the Minato Mirai waterfront. It’s not just any doughnut shop—it’s run by Fujiya, the famous Japanese confectionery brand best known for its Milky sweets. With only around 11 shops nationwide, this place is a bit of a hidden gem.

In this post, I’ll give you the low-down on what makes Milky Donuts special, what’s on the menu, and of course, my honest taste-test review.

Hop on, hop off, and discover Yokohama at your own pace!

TOC

What’s Milky Donuts All About?

Peko- chan, a Japanese icon, has a famous shop on the ground floor of Yokohama World Porters.

If you’ve been in Japan for a while, you’ve probably spotted Fujiya’s “Milky” candies—those creamy, nostalgic sweets that almost every Japanese person grew up with. Milky Donuts takes that same gentle sweetness and transforms it into fluffy, freshly-fried doughnuts.

Highlights

Doughnuts filled with Fujiya’s original Milky cream—rich but not overly heavy
Fried in rice oil, giving them a lighter texture than your average doughnut
A mix of classics and seasonal specials, so there’s always something new to try

Because this particular shop is inside Yokohama World Porters, it’s a perfect stop while sightseeing around Minato Mirai, one of the city’s most popular areas.

From seaside temples to city skylines- explore it all in one unforgettable day!

Atmosphere & Crowds

There’s a small seating area right next to the shop, but if it’s full, you can always use food court’s seats.

It’s mostly a takeaway shop, but there are about 8 seats if you fancy eating on the spot or need a little sit-down between sightseeing stops.

The shop itself is decorated with Peko-chan, Fujiya’s iconic mascot—she’s a cheeky little girl with pigtails and a red dress, instantly recognizable across Japan. Even the doughnut boxes feature her design, which makes them great for photos or as a souvenir.

Crowd check

On weekdays: around 5pm, I only saw one person waiting.
On weekends: queues form in the afternoon, but they move fairly quickly.

Drinks

Nomu Milky(drinkable Milky—yes, it’s a thing!)
Nomu Milky coffee
Nomu Milky tea
Regular coffee & tea

There’s also ice cream, making it a sweet tooth’s paradise. Among the drinks, Nomu Milky is especially popular—it’s basically Milky candy in liquid form, creamy and nostalgic.

Taste Test—The Classic ‘Yuki-shio Milky’

You have to try the Milky cream! The soft- serve is not too rich and easy to eat, and the cream is absolutely delicious!

I went for their signature ‘Yuki-shio Milky’, and here’s what I thought:

Texture: Surprisingly light! Thanks to the rice oil, it isn’t greasy at all and feels airy rather than heavy.
Cream: Packed with silky Milky cream—sweet but not cloying. It melts away quickly, leaving no sickly aftertaste.
Flavor: The balance of sweetness with a hint of salt is spot on. That touch of saltiness really lifts the Milky cream, making it more addictive than you’d expect.

Final Thoughts—A Sweet Stop in Minato Mirai

Milky Donuts at Yokohama World Porters is a must-try if you’re exploring the Minato Mirai area. With only a handful of branches across Japan, it’s a bit of a hidden gem for those who love quirky, local sweets.
Whether you grab one to enjoy on the spot, or take a box as a treat for later, the cute Peko-chan packaging makes it perfect for souvenirs too.
So, if you’re strolling around Yokohama and fancy a sugary pick-me-up, pop into Milky Donuts and let Peko-chan brighten your day!
