Bite into a menagerie of sweetness at Ikumi Mama no Dobutsu Doughnuts (Mama Ikumi’s Animal Doughnuts). In addition to producing delightful doughnuts in shapes from kittens to walruses, alpacas and penguins, Naoko Ikumi eschews preservatives, margarine and shortening, instead focusing on choosing the best eggs, flour, salt and natural sweeteners from across Japan. Visit the shop or special order online for parties and corporate events. http://ikumimama.com
