Tokyo Banana
My friend Rodney gave this to me after arriving in Singapore from Tokyo for a short visit. It's a Japanese snack called Tokyo Banana which he bought at Narita Airport. Cute wrapper.
A white and yellow box is what you see after the wrapper is torn off. The snack is apparently very popular in Japan.
Sitting pretty and cute in individually wrapped packets are miniature 'bananas' which are really sponge cakes with a soft banana filling. The sponge cake is nice and soft and the filling is made from real banana. It was a wee bit sweet for me but I think it would have gone well as a teatime snack with a cup of Earl Grey tea.

I had a few of these, a gift from a friend who returned from Tokyo. Love the filling!! Tasted also a little like caramel banana.
