Tokyo Banana


Ah, this one's a nostalgic treat for me.  I had my first Tokyo Banana almost a decade ago when my Japanese colleague came and brought this with him.  I absolutely loved this soft cake with banana cream filling. It's just like eating banana - shape and taste wise.

 

Nowadays Tokyo Banana has various filling flavours, like you can see from below :


















Left - Original (banana cream filling); 
Middle - Cat pattern (caramel filling); 
Right - Giraffe pattern (banana caramel filling)



















Each cakes is wrapped in individual plastic wrap.  The pattern ones has each animal printed on the packet. 
I once saw a Cheetah pattern on websites, but I couldn't find that one on my trip.

 


Shopping Tip :
It's not easy to find the pattern ones, so buy whenever you see them.  I bought the Cat & Giraffe at 2 different stores in Tokyo Station.  Don't expect to buy last minute at the airport, except the original which are available there.
