Apparently I’m not the only one obsessed taking pictures of Tokyoites waiting patiently for some glazed goodness.

As I was exiting the JR Shinjuku station Wednesday night I spotted someone carrying what looked like a Krispy Kreme box. Since I was leaving the Narita Express platform I figured that it was just another arriving passenger bringing back to Japan a box of Krispy Kreme doughnuts. Nope. Turns out that Shinjuku is home to the very first Krispy Kreme store here in Japan. Since Wednesday there has been a continuous line of people waiting to try a doughnut.
