Dochi Brings Japanese Mochi Donuts To Washington (And They're Scrumptious)
We’re no strangers to creative cuisine here in Washington, and it’s safe to say we love our decadent desserts. And if donuts happen to be your indulgence of choice, head straight to Seattle’s International District when it’s time to treat yourself. A new donut shop just opened, and they make authentic, delicious Japanese mochi donuts… and we guarantee you’ve never had anything like them.

Dochi has built up a huge following in Florida, and owner Jason Le — who used to live in Seattle — thought Washingtonians would appreciate these unique donuts.

Jason is partnering with his brother, Michael Le, owner of the nearby goPoke.

The reason for this unique shape, however, is pretty sweet — they're made of small circles to make them easier to share (sharing is, of course, optional).

You might see matcha Oreo, Fruity Pebbles, Strawberry Shortcake, or Coffee ed Velvet donuts in the case, depending on the day.

Don't be surprised if you have to wait in line for your donuts — they're worth the wait. Because of the shop's popularity, you can't buy more than a dozen at a time, which might prove to be more difficult than it seems.

If you have you heart set on these unique donuts, go early — once the donuts are gone, Dochi closes for the day.

Mochi is a Japanese rice cake made of mochigome, a short-grain rice. While mochi itself isn't a dessert, it makes a fantastic dessert base.
