“The Soymilk Donut (豆乳甜甜圈) is quite something” is a popular eatery located in Kyoto's Nishiki Market. Even though there were lines, we received our donuts quickly since they are made using automated machines!
In addition to the signature soymilk donuts, they also sell soymilk ice cream, but we had already eaten takoyaki in the market, so we just bought a donut to try.
We ordered the classic plain soymilk donut for ¥400. I think there were around 10 pieces (I was so excited to eat that I forgot to take a picture of the final product...). The donuts are freshly fried, small enough to eat in one bite, cute in appearance, and very soft inside. The main flavor is the aroma of the flour. Since they are small, we finished the whole bag in about a minute; one person could easily eat a whole bag!

This is a well-known donut shop in Onna Village called Miyahonten, famous for its Ryukyu sweets, and it offers convenient parking at the entrance. Each donut is priced at 120 yen, with a variety of flavors to choose from. I bought plain, sweet potato, mocha, brown sugar, salt, cheese, and chocolate donuts, and I had to get my own bag to pack them before heading to the counter to pay.
However, the texture was rather dry, similar to steamed rice cakes but lacking the chewy feel, and it was a bit greasy, which was different from what I expected in terms of flavor. Personally, I do not recommend it. There was also a cute cat outside the shop.
