    If not chocobanana, then what else would you CHOOSE from our selection of six delicious dishes?

    Okay but chocolate bananas are so underrated. I'm sorry you got the pink one, the regular (brown) chocolate banana, nevertheless, was the highlight of my first trip in Japan 4 years ago.
    Got in in Kyoto during gion matsuri, feels bizarre looking back at that day and the crowd in the current situation (social distancing and all). The place was packed, such a great mood - and a great moment for a sweet, cold and crispy chocolate banana.
