The No. 1 souvenir sweet “Tokyo Banana” and the No. 1 chocolate brand “KitKat” have jointly developed a KitKat “Tokyo Banana-flavored chocolate,” themed around “the most beloved souvenir for those visiting Tokyo.” It will be available exclusively at the “Tokyo Banana × KitKat Birth Commemorative Shop” pop-up within the “Tokyo Sweets Paradise Special Exhibition” at Tokyo Station from November 15, 2017, to January 9, 2018.

Since its launch in 1991, Tokyo Banana has used a unique “steamed” baking method to create a sponge-like cake texture, filled with delicious banana cream that tempts the taste buds. Its cute mini banana shape has also won widespread popularity, earning it the top spot among Tokyo souvenirs. Meanwhile, KitKat, which debuted in the UK in 1935, is a globally beloved chocolate brand sold in over 100 countries and regions.

This time, Tokyo Banana has blended the premium banana aroma that made its immensely popular banana cake a hit, while retaining its signature moist cream filling. Combined with a KitKat chocolate that’s different from the usual, the result is a perfect marriage of smooth and crispy textures — offering visitors to Tokyo the chance to enjoy two uniquely delightful sensations and a burst of exquisite flavor in one.

In addition, the packaging for this limited-edition banana chocolate retains the classic design of “Tokyo Banana,” featuring adorable banana patterns on the box — giving fans of Tokyo Banana packaging yet another special collectible.
