Half donut, half planet, the vast 'chocolate ring' is partially hollowed out and filled with gooey chocolate and nuts, and it really ought to be listed and protected as a national treasure. In fact, the only reason it doesn't rank higher on our list is because we're not entirely sure that it's a donut at all. It certainly looks like a donut, albeit one that could be used as a child's bed, and there are moments when you'd swear that it couldn't be anything other than a donut, just as there are times when you're pretty sure you're eating a danish pastry. Suffice to say that it takes a lot of time to finish, and leaves you feeling fat (if you eat the whole thing yourself) and confused. But the confusion is part of the charm. It's a donut with mystery: arguably the best kind. Chocolate ring. ¥500. Available from Heart Bread Antique, at various locations across the city
