【Higashi-Ginza】"Banana Juice" This is a banana juice specialty store located between Higashi-Ginza and Shintomichō, offering only takeout. The store name is "Banana Juice." It's exactly what it says! LOL The shop is located in a back alley and has a colorful, stylish exterior. There's a counter for ordering and a pickup counter next to it. I visited around 1 p.m. on a weekday, and there was a line of about 15 people. They make each drink fresh in a blender after you order, so the turnover is slow. First, you choose a base, such as milk, soy milk, or yogurt, and then you can add mix-ins and toppings in three stages. There's a menu board next to the order counter, and on the opposite side, there's a daily (?) topping menu. There are three sizes. On this day, I ordered a large soy milk with sliced banana topping. The sliced banana topping was free! You have to get it!! (Total: ¥460) The large size was substantial. The banana juice was unsweetened and didn't have any unnecessary ingredients, so the sweetness was natural and I could enjoy it all the way to the end without getting tired of it. You can enjoy a classic milk banana juice in a small size for ¥300. In Ginza! That's too cheap! #Ginza #Banana #BananaJuice #GinzaSweets

Banana Juice (Milk Base) S + Kinako Topping (Unmixed) + Banana Topping 🍌 = ¥300 I visited around 2:30 PM on a weekday and there were about 3 people waiting. It's simply delicious. It's so rich and creamy, you wouldn't believe it's sugar-free. The S size is more than enough for a light snack. It's delicious and the price is unbeatable...

I visited on a weekday evening and waited about 10 minutes. There were only two staff members, so it's recommended to visit when you have plenty of time. The small size (330 yen) coconut banana juice was thick and creamy, not watery, and had a more substantial feel than a regular banana juice. It was very delicious.

There's a small shop tucked away off the beaten path. They offer a variety of milk bases and toppings, so it's best to decide what you want before you get in line. I recommend taking your drink to a nearby park bench and enjoying it at your leisure.

A rich and satisfying banana juice perfect for a quick snack! I always buy it when there's no line. ❤️ It's a healthy treat 🍌 This banana juice shop is located in a back alley in Higashi-Ginza. It's a small shop, but it's very popular. This location is in an area I don't usually go to, and there's always a line. I used to go to the shop that was in the basement near Ginza Corridor, but this is my first time here. There was always a line at this location, and I don't like waiting in line, so I never got to try it. First, you order and pay at the counter on the left, choosing your type and size of banana juice. Then, you move to the right and wait. It takes a surprisingly long time, which might be why there's always a line. But once you try their banana juice, you might not want to drink anything else. This time, I ordered the usual: ◆ Banana Juice M 330 yen ◆ Banana Coconut Milk M 360 yen I paid with PayPay. Each banana juice is made with care and is very rich and delicious. ❤️ You can choose the size. I got the M size. For takeout, they put it in a drink holder and a bag, but I brought my own eco bag, so I just got the drink holder. You can choose your favorite color for the straw. This time, I went after lunch, and miraculously, there was no line, so I was able to buy it right away! Lucky me. The taste was, as always, incredibly rich and delicious. It's a lifesaver when you've had a light lunch and want something more. ❤️ One cup fills you up. High satisfaction! The coconut one had coconut flakes on top, which I don't think they had at the Corridor location. (← Maybe?) I'll definitely buy it again when there's no line. It seems to have calmed down a bit since it first opened. Thank you for the delicious treat.
