This Order's Contents｜Classic Custom Selection

I chose the custom option that looks cute.

• Chocolate (Classic Bitter-Style Chocolate)
• Chocolate sprinkles & cornflakes (T7)
• Cranberry sauce (S5)
• With whipped cream (¥790)

Colorful chocolate sprinkles and cornflakes make it visually stunning.
The red cranberry sauce adds a vibrant accent, making it exceptionally photogenic.

Taste Review｜More satisfying than it looks

First, I was surprised by the size of the banana.
It's more substantial than I imagined, and one banana alone provides a satisfying feeling.

• Chocolate: Not overly sweet, with a light aftertaste
• Cornflakes: Enjoyably crunchy texture
• Cranberries: Their tartness adds a refreshing tang that elevates the flavor.

The balance of sweetness, texture, and tartness was excellent,
making it enjoyable to eat right to the last bite.

"A classic, but exceptionally well-crafted"
That's the impression this chocolate banana leaves.
