Just when you think Japan cannot possibly surprise and delight you more, you find a place like Shippoya. This tiny Yanaka Ginza storefront peddles donuts shaped like — wait for it — cat’s tails! I repeat, cat tail shaped donuts.
Vaguely churro in shape (but definitely not in taste as these babies — or should I say kitties? — are baked), Shippoya’s donuts are filled with various flavors like red bean, strawberry cream and salted caramel. They also come in different styles, some with spots, others with paw prints. (Naturally.)
Yanaka Ginza is a shopping street renowned for its love of cats so Shippoya fits in well here. And in case you’re curious about the name, shippo means tail in Japanese.
In the end, I found my strawberry cream cat tail at Shippoya a bit dull in the flavor department but for under $ 2, this was a truly excellent value and sure to be dinner party fodder for at least the next quarter.
