Bono Bakery, a bakery in the Horie area of Osaka (Minami-Horie, Nishi-ku, Osaka City), is adding two new spring-limited items to its popular "Raw Bagel" series. The "Matcha Custard Raw Bagel Donut" and the "Spring Sakura Raw Bagel (Tsubu-an)" are available starting April 3, 2026 (Friday).
Matcha Custard Raw Bagel Donut — ¥389 (tax included)
Richly flavored matcha is blended into homemade custard cream and packed generously into the popular raw bagel donut. The outside is coated with matcha white chocolate and topped with dried framboises and almond dice.
Each bite delivers the mellow sweetness of matcha, with the tartness of berry and the nuttiness of almond providing a pleasant accent. The chewy, mochi-like texture rounds out a satisfying flavor experience.
Spring Sakura Raw Bagel (Tsubu-an) — ¥389 (tax included)
This springtime treat features a cherry blossom garnish and a kinako (roasted soybean flour) chocolate coating. The chewy bagel dough is kneaded with pickled cherry blossom leaves and filled with tsubu-an (chunky red bean paste) sourced from Aizu-Wakamatsu, then baked to finish.
The subtle saltiness of the cherry blossom leaf and the gentle sweetness of the red bean paste complement each other for an elegant taste.
Raw Bagel BOX — Great for Picnics and Gifts
When purchasing five or more Raw Bagel series items, they come in an original box. The simple, photogenic design works well for picnic outings and also makes a casual yet thoughtful gift or treat.
About the "Raw Bagel Series" — Over 240,000 Sold
The Raw Bagel Series has sold more than 240,000 units since its launch in autumn 2023. Its defining characteristic is a moist and springy "mugyu-mochi" (chewy-stretchy) texture that sets it apart from conventional bagels. To achieve this, the shop has optimized its fermentation process and dough formulation for higher moisture content, with each piece handcrafted daily in the in-store kitchen using domestic wheat and other carefully selected ingredients.
A spin-off product, the "Raw Bagel Donut," uses the same raw bagel texture but is made without deep-frying.
