I finally managed to get my hands on the giraffe edition of Tokyo Banana, and not only is it super cute, but it also tastes better than the other flavors too！


This time, thanks to my industry friend Leader Wang, he brought back this must-buy souvenir from Tokyo — the limited edition giraffe version. The pink packaging is absolutely adorable！！

Tokyo Banana has many limited editions, and I’ve already collected the Up edition！ In addition to the original Tokyo Banana, there’s also the leopard print edition, the cat edition, and the giraffe edition, as well as the Osaka Banana. (I’ll share more about those another time…)

This is the cat edition — so cute, so adorable!! Meow~


This one is the leopard print edition, with colors that mimic real leopard patterns very realistically.



And this is the giraffe edition we got this time — just as adorable！


Inside the wrapping paper is an even cuter box — the Japanese really know how to market and package their products impressively.


How much does such a cute souvenir cost? A set of 4 costs 500 yen, 8 for 1,050 yen, and 12 for 1,550 yen. At the current exchange rate of 0.3, a set of 8 is about 315 New Taiwan Dollars.


The exquisite outer packaging will definitely bring joy to anyone who receives it. Can’t tell which pattern it is? See the cute little giraffe in the bottom left corner～～～


The exterior is fluffy and soft, and the filling inside is sweet — it’s a banana custard flavor. My bear family all agreed it tastes better than the other flavors. But to me, the filling is a bit too sweet…


When you’re in Japan, don’t forget to buy this super popular souvenir — it’s sure to be a hit with everyone！ Also, my friend says this adorable Tokyo Banana is a girl-magnet, but since I haven’t tried that myself, I’ll leave it up to you all to verify！！
