Truffle Donut Takamatsu Review 2026: Hidden Dessert Gem
Takamatsu is famous for udon, but Truffle Donut is the ultimate sweet escape. Discover this hidden takeout gem in the heart of Kagawa's shopping district.

Kagawa Prefecture's capital, Takamatsu, is globally renowned as the ultimate kingdom of Sanuki Udon. But after a day of slurping savory, salty broth, your taste buds will inevitably crave something sweet and indulgent.
While wandering through Marugamemachi—Takamatsu's bustling, upscale shopping arcade—we stumbled upon a local hotspot where trendy locals were lining up: TRUFFLE DONUT Kagawa Takamatsu.
We initially thought we were stepping into a cozy sit-down cafe, but we were in for a little surprise! It's actually an aesthetic, takeout-only boutique. Here is our honest review, the best flavors to order, and how to find it.

1. A Chic Takeout Boutique: The Location & Vibe
With its stylish, minimalist exterior, it's easy to mistake this spot for a sit-down cafe where you can pair your pastry with a hot latte. However, it is strictly a grab-and-go shop.

2. The Lineup: Four Mouth-Watering Flavors
Because it's a specialty takeout spot, they pack your donuts in beautifully designed, minimalist boxes that are incredibly easy to carry around. We selected four distinct flavors to try.





We carefully carried our sweet treasures back to our hotel room to enjoy a cozy, relaxing dessert time.
3. The Taste Test: Which Flavor Reigns Supreme?
Safely back in our hotel room, we kicked off our taste test.



🏆 And the winner is... without a doubt, the Custard! It is packed with a rich, velvety vanilla custard cream that melts in your mouth instantly. The texture of the dough is incredibly pillowy, creating a perfect balance with the luxurious filling. (My partner's top pick was the Cookies & Cream!). If you visit, do yourself a favor and buy at least two of the Custard donuts.

The Verdict: "A Sweet Surprise in the Udon Capital"
Takamatsu has so much more to offer than just savory noodles. While you can't sit down inside Truffle Donut, grabbing a box to enjoy as a late-night treat in your hotel room is the perfect way to wrap up a day of exploring.
Wandering down charming alleys and discovering unexpected local favorites is what makes traveling through Japan's smaller cities so magical. If you find yourself in Kagawa, make sure to stop by TRUFFLE DONUT Kagawa Takamatsu!
