Tokyo Banana & KitKat Collab Limited Pop-Up: Must-Grab Souvenir

By MOOK Scenic Spots Chen Wenlin, compiled and reported
 
The No.1 souvenir confectionery "Tokyo Banana" and the No.1 chocolate brand "KitKat" have jointly created KitKat "Tokyo Banana-flavored Chocolate" under the theme of "the most beloved souvenir for visitors to Tokyo." It will be exclusively launched at the "Tokyo Sweets Paradise Special Exhibition" inside Tokyo Station from November 15, 2017, to January 9, 2018, in a pop-up "Tokyo Banana × KitKat Birth Commemorative Shop" for early purchase!

Since its launch in 1991, Tokyo Banana has used a unique "steamed" method to create a sponge-like cake texture, filled with banana cream that is simply irresistible. Its adorable mini banana shape has also been immensely popular, earning it the top spot as Tokyo’s No.1 souvenir. Meanwhile, KitKat, which has been sold in the UK since 1935, is a globally loved chocolate brand available in over 100 countries and regions.

This time, Tokyo Banana has refined the signature banana aroma from its wildly popular banana cake, while showcasing its distinctive moist cream filling. Combined with KitKat’s chocolate—different from the usual variety—the result is a perfect blend of smooth and crisp textures, offering visitors to Tokyo the chance to enjoy two uniquely exceptional tastes and a delicious secret in one.

Additionally, the packaging of this banana-flavored chocolate retains the classic design of "Tokyo Banana." The cute banana pattern will be printed on the box, giving fans of collecting Tokyo Banana packages a new treasure to cherish.
