Grit International Inc. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Tsuyoshi Haga; hereinafter 'Grit International'), which operates the highly popular Los Angeles-based donut shop 'Randy’s Donuts' in Japan, will sell the 'Strawberry Chocolate Texas' from Thursday, April 23, 2026, to late May, and the 'LA Blue Custard Cream Raised' from Monday, May 11, to Sunday, May 17, for a limited time.
'Randy’s Donuts' is a massively popular donut shop founded in Los Angeles in 1952. In particular, the giant donut-shaped sign, about 10 meters (32 feet) in diameter, towering over the roof of the first U.S. store has long been a symbol of the city, appearing in popular movies and music videos, and is widely known as a Los Angeles landmark.
The first domestic store, 'Randy’s Donuts Shibuya Daikanyama,' which had its grand opening last May, features a giant donut-shaped sign about 4 meters in diameter—the symbol of 'Randy’s Donuts'—installed in front of the store. Inside, a large showcase measuring about 3m high by 2.7m wide displays up to 1,000 donuts daily, with over 40 richly designed varieties handmade every day, attracting a lot of attention.
Furthermore, the company has been aggressively expanding its footprint so that more customers can enjoy its products. It opened its first takeout-only store, 'Randy’s Donuts Shinjuku Eat Lumine,' last September, followed by 'Randy’s Donuts Tokyo Gift Palette' in December, and 'Randy’s Donuts Yurakucho Marui' in March of this year. Additionally, a new store, 'Randy’s Donuts Ikebukuro West Exit,' is scheduled to open on Thursday, April 23.
To commemorate the 1st anniversary of 'Randy’s Donuts' landing in Japan on Friday, May 15, two Japan-limited items that were released as limited-time products during the first store's opening and were extremely well-received will be sold at all stores.
The 'Strawberry Chocolate Texas' features a maximum-sized 'Texas' donut, measuring approximately 16cm in diameter, inspired by the vast state of Texas. It is coated with sweet and sour strawberry chocolate and generously topped with brightly colored freeze-dried strawberries. The 'LA Blue Custard Cream Raised' features the letters 'LA' drawn in white icing over blue icing, inspired by the bright blue sky of Los Angeles. It is a round yeast donut generously filled with perfectly sweetened custard cream.
'Randy’s Donuts' aims to become a sweets brand beloved by customers in Japan as well.
