The classic Tokyo souvenir "Tokyo Banana". Every time I hear that an acquaintance goes to Tokyo, buy it! I was begging for it. It's been a few years since I started living in Tokyo before I knew it. The variation has increased before you know it, and even leopard patterns and stripe patterns (it seems to be a "tabby cat pattern"!) Are on sale.

And now, "Tokyo Banana Nanohana" is on sale for a limited time. A cute Tokyo Banana with a yellow floral print. I found it at Tokyo station and bought it on impulse.

When I brought it back to the office, it was especially popular with female staff in their 20s and 30s. The floral pattern is strong.

The flavor is banana shake. Milk-flavored banana custard is contained in a vanilla-flavored sponge. The taste of banana was not strong, but the gentle sweetness of milk made me feel warm. It has a refreshing aftertaste than the simple Tokyo Banana.

The pink ribbon also has a floral pattern!

The price is 500 yen for 4 pieces, 1,050 yen for 8 pieces, and 1,550 yen for 12 pieces. It will be on sale until the end of March.

There are many stores at Tokyo Station alone, but I bought it at the Gift Garden South Exit store near the Yaesu South Exit inside Tokyo Station. It is a store specializing in Tokyo Banana rape blossoms. It seems that the number of stores that handle it is limited, so please look for it by referring to the map.

* Editor's footnote: When the reporter purchased "Tokyo Banana" at the store, he explained at the store that "Tokyo Banana is on sale until the end of March", but today "Tokyo Banana" I was informed by the operating company that "Tokyo Banana Nanohana" is a product that will be sold all year round, not for a limited time.
