Plushies, keychains, and other goods are available at 7/11s along the Keikyu line, but of course the most delicious option are the Rilakkuma and friends themed treats available at the Ikumi Mama no Doubutsu Donuts pop-up shop located next to the Keikyu Line platform in Yokohama Station. 
 





Timing is key with these donuts. Different characters are available on different days, which might be disappointing to Rillakukuma fans who may be hoping to grab their favorite character.  I was able to snag Rillakukuma, who was coffee flavored. The icing was very thick and sugary, which reminded me of an iced coffee. I also tried the Kiiroitori donut, which was egg flavored. If you have ever had egg bread from a convenient store in Japan, then you can likely imagine the taste. For those of you unfamiliar, Egg bread is very sweet, but has a very overpowering yolk aftertaste. I wasn’t a fan of this donut, but I could definitely appreciate the overall cuteness of the treat itself.


Because of high demand, these doughnuts are not fresh, and will be handed to you directly out of a refrigerator, which is a bit unlike Ikumi Mama no Doubutsu Donuts normal style. However I recommend keeping a look out for these if you’re anywhere near the Keikyu line until the end of September.
