These little soft cakes which were shaped like fat bananas are call Tokyo Bananas. They have a custard filling which was flavoured like...bananas. Though not heavily of it. In each of the individual plastic wrapping, there were the mystifying words "People gather to Tokyo from here and there with memories of their home. and then, Tokyo gets the everyone's home town." Lol. I got these from someone who has in turn received them from another person who has gotten them from Japan. Apparently these guys have a website for their product in Japanese.
