Tokyo Banana

2 comments

These appeared in our office courtesy of Nob. They're called Tokyo Bananas, and they are touted as a "gourmet Twinkie." I'd have to agree, but they're not nearly as sweet as a Twinkie. Instead of the ubiquitous cream filling found in most Hostess baked goods, you get a banana cream delight.

Now, I hate fakey-Now-and-Later banana flavor, but this tasted like, well, a banana. You can tell they're real bananas because the filling is slightly brownish... like an actual banana. I'm happy they didn't add a liter of yellow food coloring to offset this natural coloring.

All in all, I'd have to say, YUM! And too bad they're all gone.
