Been feeling a little bit blue, a little bit down and a little bit unwell so I thought of telling you a treat that I got from my colleague who went to Japan for work cum holiday back in November 2013.

Who doesn’t know Tokyo Banana right? Tokyo Banana (東京ばな奈) basically are banana pudding flavoured custard sponge cakes wrapped and packaged in Japanese standards. The phenomena of this delicacies has quickly put it to be the number #1 souvenir of choice from family and friends who have recently visited Japan. This is the one thing I requested from my colleague to buy for me too

It comes in various design such as plain, tabby pattern, giraffe pattern, leopard pattern, plain with caramel banana custard and the new one is floral pattern with banana shake custard. Each design are available in various package such as 4 pieces per pack (¥500), 8 pieces (¥1,050) and 12 pieces (¥1,550). Plain Tokyo Banana is cheaper at 4 pieces per pack (¥470), 8 pieces (¥1,000) and 12 pieces (¥1,500). I kinda like leopard pattern but it gave me goosebumps so giraffe is the final choice . As a few of our colleague ordered it as well and it’s a bit troublesome to bring back, we gotten the 4 pieces pack.

Not only the packaging is super cute, the paper bag as well but I only get mine in a simple plastic individual packaging. But it’s okay. Even that too is cute. It’s not that I can eat the paper bag LOL.

Here’s the famous Tokyo Banana! Before this I have been warned by friends that this cake is really nothing special. Deep down I know it’s really just the thought of chowing down a sponge cake flew in from Japan that brings up the hype.

Each package like this comes with an expiry date. I gotten this on the 2nd of December so it’s another 11 more days to go before it will gone bad.

The ribbon graphic on the cake’s individual packaging is really too cute.

The shape of the cake resemble a banana. No prize for guessing that one . One bite down and I feel meh. Besides the cake being all fluffy and soft, it taste like banana cake. Quite true on what other people said. It’s basically banana cake! lol. I like the banana pudding custard filling very much. It has a strong banana scent to it so if you are not a fan of banana cake, most probably you won’t like this as well. You can hand me yours

Let me end this with all the Tokyo Banana cake available at the moment

Hope this cutie cheer you up as it did to me . Now tell me, have you tried before? I know a lot of people have tried it. Gosh I’m so late in all this lol. Would you buy this as souvenir if you do go Japan for holiday?
