The ridiculousness that is Tokyo Banana

[@kiwiyamabushi]

Tokyo and banana may seem to go together like chalk and cheese. Not for Japanese people though! Why?! How did the humble banana become Tokyo's OFFICIAL souvenir sweet? Find out in this video!

[@Saturn-xs7ix]

Never heard of this. Now I want one too!

[@kiwiyamabushi]

Haha, yeah they're huge in Tokyo! You'll find them in any airport or train station large enough to sell souvenirs!

Well next trip to Tokyo I will look for Tokyo Banana.. Tks

[@kiwiyamabushi]

Yeah you should! It’s a bit pricey for what it is but tastes great all the same :)😊

I lived in Tokyo for a decade (1989-1999), and had never heard of Tokyo Banana during the entire time I was there. It wasn't until 2004 when I was living and working in Yokkaichi (Mie), and my supervisor was excitedly passing around a box of them from someone who had just come back from a trip to Tokyo, that I learned of the existence of Tokyo Banana.

[@kiwiyamabushi]

Wow yeah they have certainly taken their time! Now they are a mainstay, oddly enough!

[@slowbro1337]

Oh wow, how delicious sounding!

[@kiwiyamabushi]

Thank you 😋

[@Peekingduck]

Nice to have you back again

[@kiwiyamabushi]

Good to be back! I always want to be making these videos, just hard to find the time!

[@Peekingduck]

@@kiwiyamabushi I think most people understand that. when you have a job and stuff time is limited . Still super nice to find your videos when they pop up here.

[@kiwiyamabushi]

Thank you for your kind words! I look forward to making more :)

[@keikomoriyama3831]
