Los Angeles-based Randy's Donuts opened its first store last week in Japan, bringing its signature oversized treats and bold American flavors to Tokyo's Daikanyama neighborhood at the Log Road Daikanyama shopping complex in Tokyo.

The opening generated the highest first-day sales for any international unit — over $18,000 — according to a company press release.

The Tokyo location features the brand's giant rooftop doughnut sign, a hallmark of its original Inglewood shop, which has appeared in various films and music videos.

Customers may choose from over 40 varieties of donuts, including classics and Japan-exclusive creations like the Strawberry Chocolate Texas Glazed and the L.A. Blue Custard Cream, inspired by the Los Angeles Dodgers. In addition to donuts, Randy's serves its proprietary coffee blend, Randy's Roast, along with other beverages. A merchandise corner featuring branded items and a gacha capsule toy vending machine adds to the unique customer experience, which also includes indoor and outdoor seating and a self-service ordering system.

Randy's Donuts plans to expand further in Japan, aiming to open 50 stores nationwide by the end of 2028.
