Gentle Flavor Made with Domestic Ingredients ♡
The secret to Ikumi Mama's popularity isn't just their cute shapes!

The most classic and popular item at Ikumi Mama is the "Mikey the Kitten." *The shape of the calico cat made of white, black, and brown is super cute! ♡
Here are "Tiger-kun" and "Maru-chan." *Ikumi Mama makes each donut by hand, so there are various facial expressions among the donuts. ♩
There are also animal donuts representing this year's zodiac, a sheep! ♩ The fluffy white wool is made of coconut. *
This "Okame Lovebird" is also too cute! ♡ At Ikumi Mama, chocolate coloring is done without synthetic dyes, using pumpkin powder and other natural ingredients for color. *
