Tokyo Banana

One of my favourite things to pick up at Narita Airport in Tokyo is Tokyo Banana. It is a basically a sponge cake with banana-flavoured custard inside. This is usually sold in boxes of either 8 or 12, for about US$10 and US$15 respectively.

The soft and airy sponge cake makes for an excellent afternoon snack. The custard inside is also very yummy, without being too sweet. If you google 'Tokyo Banana', you can find several other blogs talking about it. Some hate it as they think the taste is too artificial and chemical but I love it.

There is a shop in basement level 4 of Ion (near Muji and Watsons) which sells many popular snacks from Japan. I'm not sure if Tokyo Banana is available there but the shop is worth a look at as they carry quite an extensive range.
