COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) — Mochi Ring, a bakery known for Korean corn dogs battered in Cheetos and vibrant doughnuts made with Japanese mochi, is opening its first Ohio location in Columbus.

The chain’s Columbus bakery is opening this month at 1144 Kenny Centre Mall in Tensuke Market, which boasts itself as the largest Japanese grocery store in Ohio. The bakery’s opening will mark Mochi Ring’s tenth shop, with a location in Wisconsin, three in New Jersey and five in Pennsylvania.

Mochi Ring’s signature doughnuts are created from a Japanese rice cake made from “glutinous” rice commonly found in east Asian cuisines. The chain’s doughnuts come a variety of colorful flavors, including dragon fruit, pumpkin spice, cheddar cheese, s’more, matcha, coffee, coconut, brown sugar milk tea, churro and more.
