Please do more videos on food souvenirs. These are so helpful on what I should buy on my trip and I trust your palate way more than a non local doing a tasting video. I spent way too much on high-end kitkats (good but too sweet) on my last trip and the traditional japanese food souvenirs where a lot more memorable. Will add these to my shopping list for next time.

Heading back to Japan in Feb and I'm super excited to try Tokyo Banana, the Castella Cake and the Truffle. Thank you for reviewing these. It was really overwhelming going through these shops with so many selections and having a list helps! Last year I bought the Tokyo Banana Kit Kat ones and they were delicious too. ☺️

My Tokyo Banana boxes survived my trip home. I had them years ago but I still had to buy them again. Because of the expiration date, I only bought two 8-count boxes. They’re pretty good and the banana custard has a very natural flavor and not overly sweet. I ate them all in two days, haha.

Love this video idea on reviewing food souvenirs and hearing your commentary on each one. I think I'd buy the castella and the cheese cookie to bring back! Btw my guess is the "wich" is the same as the "wich" in "sandwich" so you had a berry sandwich and a caramel sandwich. 😀

Is Tokyo station the only place to buy Tokyo Banana souvenirs? My mom asked me to buy some and when I checked the main website, it didn’t provide much info on where to get them. I’ll be arriving to Japan this weekend for a couple weeks. If you’re interested in hanging out or doing a collab, let me know Sarah. 😊

The culture of the travel gift for colleagues is an interesting custom. In Europe we don't necessarily do it after a trip, we usually bring something to eat for birthdays or special occasions. I usually bring around 150 croissants to share with the people on the open office floor... These treats look delicious, but now I'll have to try the Tokyo banana with Doraemon flavor :D

The BTB Sable was so good that I decided to use a proxy service to buy and ship another box of 9 pieces after coming back from my trip. I'd also recommend the Bon Napoleon from Almond (sorry Tokyo Foodie Mama) and Tako Patie from Osaka Takoyaki Sweets. There's just so many souvenir snacks and not enough suitcase space!

I quite like “Omiyage” culture in Japan. It fosters some nice interactions with your co-workers and can show off where you visited. I assume it’s usually an edible snack? Have you received or given other types of souvenirs?
@TokyoFoodieSarah Жыл бұрын
Yesss you can definitely show off where you visited! It’s a great way to start a conversation as well! It’s usually edible snack, but I give the girls other souvenirs (e.g. face masks, soaps, etc.).

May i suggest trying another 10 for variety and choice for us viewers, coz i know there are a lot and all are in Japanese, people get confused on what to try next. I, for one, am a chocolate lover, would love to try anything that's chocolate. I remember going to one souvenir shop in Akihabara years ago and didn't buy anything, coz i didn't know what they were, what they taste like and they are not cheap either. Thanks.

It’s very rare that you will have to buy souvenirs for all 50 people. Usually when you are away for a few days you would just give them to your department/group/team which would be 10-20 people usually. There are boxes of 20-30 packs depending on the snack, so you can get those bigger boxes!
