Tokyo Banana mi-tsu-ke-ta(which means “I found the Tokyo Banana”) is not only a popular souvenir but also the No. 1 best-seller souvenir in Tokyo. There is a plenty of banana custard inside the sponge cake.

Japanese people usually love to buy this souvenir for their family and friends when they visit Tokyo from other prefectures,and it’s easy to give away because of the cakes in individually wrapped.

I have just had 3 boxes of Tokyo Banana confiscated at Perth airport as they are considered a prohibibitve product due to the lack of information about the manufacturing process and ingredients ie do they contain uncooked banana. If anyone has any information about this can you please let me know as I wish to take this matter further. I cannot see that these cakes can be of any risk but need to obtain more information. Has anyone else in Australia encountered this same problem?

Many thanks………Fiona

I sympathize with you.
Tokyo Banana contains banana paste inside, not a fresh banana.

Yeah I too had my Tokyo Banana confiscated at Coolangatta airport.
I was pissed off, as I have brought them in many times.
I gues the quarantine staff had them for lunch.
It sucks big time.
