Krispy Kreme fans in Japan will be able to get their hands on two new flavours that the doughnut brand has released for summer: watermelon and lemon. 

Looking more like cheery swimming floats than doughnuts, the fruity sweet treats will be exclusively available for only a month from now until Jul. 19.

Krispy Kreme Japan's website describes the watermelon as "watermelon fruit juice jelly with chocolate chips," and the green outline is made of "watermelon-flavoured chocolate."

The lemon flavoured doughnut is made with a lemon juice glaze, and comes with a sliced lemon resting on it.

The summer flavour release comes hot on the heels of Krispy Kreme's April launch of a doughnut ice cream sandwich, where it placed two scoops of ice cream and frozen berries between two halves of a glazed doughnut.

The U.S. doughnut brand opened in Japan in Dec. 2006.
