I'm donut? opens a speciality gluten-free doughnut shop in Shibuya
The doughnut craze has made a comeback in Tokyo over the past few years, with new specialist bakeries popping up all over the city. Leading the trend is I'm donut?, a unique doughnut shop known for its pillowy-soft treats made with Japanese ingredients. The brand has recently gone global, opening locations in New York City and Seoul – and now it's launched a fully gluten-free shop in Shibuya. Photo: Kisa Toyoshima I'm donut? Gluten-Free is located across the street from the I'm donut? Shibuya store and operates as a takeaway stand. You'll still get to enjoy I'm donut?'s signature 'nama' (fresh) doughnuts – but at the new shop these are made entirely gluten-free using Japanese rice flour instead of wheat. The dough also incorporates ingredients like pumpkin, which helps create a moist and slightly sweet doughnut. Photo: Kisa Toyoshima 'I'm Free' original doughnut The gluten-free shop offers eight different doughnuts, including the signature 'I'm Free' original (¥356), which is lightly coated in brown sugar, and the cacao (¥388) – both of which are vegan-friendly. The original flavour was one of our favourites and was light, moist and just as delicious as the brand's regular creations. Honestly, it was hard to even tell it was gluten-free – it was that good.

The cream doughnuts come in four flavours: custard (¥529), pistachio (¥637), chocolate cream (¥583) and framboise (¥583). When we tried the pistachio flavour, it was pleasantly fragrant and not overly sweet – the ultimate hallmark of a great dessert. Photo: Kisa Toyoshima Caramel nuts doughnut You'll also find two other varieties: strawberry chocolate (¥475) and caramel nuts (¥496). The former features a cocoa-flavoured doughnut coated in sweet and tangy strawberry chocolate – we couldn't help but think it tasted just like a strawberry Pocky. The caramel nuts doughnut is topped with caramel chocolate and homemade caramelised nuts for a satisfyingly crunchy finish. This one would pair wonderfully with coffee. Photo: Kisa Toyoshima I'm donut? Gluten-Free is open from 11am to 7pm daily, but be warned: a queue often forms even before the store opens. For more information, follow the store on Instagram.

Kind pedestrians and cyclists given 'I'm sound' badges by Dublin City Council
A bunch of kind pedestrians and cyclists were awarded badges by Dublin City Council's 'soundness detectors' on Wednesday. As part of its public awareness campaign 'Be Sound This Summer', the council renewed its appeal for all road and path users to be more respectful of others. And pedestrians, cyclists and drivers that looked out for others and prioritised safety in the city centre on Wednesday were awarded with an 'I'm Sound' badge. Through social media videos, the council is encouraging people to stop hogging lanes, breaking lights or dangerously dashing. Lord Mayor of Dublin, Councillor Ray McAdam, said: "As a city, we're working to make travel safer, cleaner and more connected — not just through infrastructure, but through how we treat one another. ''Be Sound This Summer' is about recognising and celebrating those small, everyday actions that make our streets safer and more respectful for everyone. By adding a bit of fun and positivity to the message, we're encouraging all road users to look out for each other. Whatever way you travel, being sound goes a long way.' Active travel, such as walking and cycling, plays a central role in how Dubliners get around the city. On average, people split their weekly transport time almost evenly between walking or wheeling (41 per cent) and driving (40 per cent), with a further 19 per cent spent cycling, according to the Your Dublin Your Voice survey. In Dublin, 71 per cent of adults walk five or more days a week, while 47 per cent use a car five or more days a week. One in four adults say they cycle at least once a week. According to the Walking and Cycling Index, 530,000 cars are taken off the road every day in the Dublin Metropolitan Area because of those who decide to walk and cycle. If these cars were all in a traffic jam, it would tail back 2,500 kilometres, equivalent to over nine times the distance from Dublin City to Cork City. Over half a million fewer cars on the road generates an annual benefit of €2.39 billion for individuals and the wider city. It also prevents 3,655 serious long-term health conditions each year and saves the health service approximately €64.5 million - equivalent to over 1.17 million GP appointments. Those walking and cycling instead of driving also save greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to 1.69 million flights from Dublin Airport to London Heathrow Airport. A bicycle traffic light in Dublin There has been a large increase in older residents engaging in active travel in recent years. Some 74 per cent of Dublin residents aged over 66 now walk or wheel at least five days a week, up from 54 per cent in 2021, and 12 per cent of residents aged over 66 cycle at least once a week, up from 10 per cent in 2021. Dublin City Council said it will continue to roll out dedicated infrastructure across the city to keep this momentum up and encourage people to walk and cycle. Within the next four weeks, three active travel schemes will be completed across the city, including the Ranelagh Village interim scheme, Beatty's Avenue to Herbert Park (part of the Dodder Greenway) scheme and the Royal Canal Phase 3 scheme. Director of Dublin City Council's active travel programme office, Christopher K Manzira, said: 'With more people choosing to travel actively across the city, we all have a shared responsibility to look out for one another. 'Be Sound' is a reminder that safety and respect are essential on our streets. "Whether you're walking to the shop, wheeling to work, or driving through town, a little soundness can make a big difference. The data shows that active travel benefits us all, from reducing emissions to easing congestion as well as the additional health benefits. We want everyone to feel confident and safe doing so.'
