Souvenirs, or ‘omiyage’, are a big deal in Japan, and every area has their own specialties and famous treats that can be easily picked up in gift shops, train stations, and airports.
For Tokyo, their most famous souvenir confection is ‘Tokyo Banana’. These are banana-flavoured, cream-filled cakes that are shaped like bananas. Apart from this classic and beloved version, there’s also been plenty of awesome limited edition Tokyo Bananas and cool crossovers.
Recently, the brand has been collaborating with famous companies to create adorable character-inspired sweets featuring Pokemon and Disney characters. The latest release features another recognisable face from Disney, Winnie the Pooh.
These fluffy sponge cakes have a milk cream and honey custard cream filling inside, inspired by Winnie the Pooh’s favourite food.
These super cute cakes even show the adorable bear with four different expressions.
Each box of eight cakes comes with a commemorative postcard featuring Winnie the Pooh and his friends.
Normally you’d have to take a trip to a certain area to bag some omiyage, but luckily, these cute treats are being sold online.
But if you do happen to be in Tokyo, they can also be picked up at JR Tokyo Station until stocks run out.
