Asahikawa/Sapporo: the «best before 20 minutes» banana juice!

A shop located in the Higashi-ku district of Sapporo.
Heavy snow will soon fall on Hokkaido, so going somewhere by car will get dangerous from now on.
Sapporo is far from Asahikawa, but since some locals are used to go in Sapporo on weekends, our reporter wanted to write about it.
The expiration date is only 20 minutes after being made, and as a banana lover, Ryo had no choice but to try it! He almost took his car only for this.

«HAPPY BANA-NA» is introduced this time.
Actually, it's in a ramen shop named "Ramen.K".

The banana juice was lined up with the ramen menu in the ticket machine.
After ordering and waiting for a while, the banana juice was ready!

The clerk clearly told him to drink it all within 20 minutes.
The texture was like fresh cream!
It had smooth and fluffy texture.

It’s a banana juice, but tastes like a dessert, with a moderate sweetness.
The banana flavour is strong, satisfying our reporter.

The yellow straw and the sticker are cute!

If you come by Sapporo and like bananas, this is a must-buy!

We will also introduce the shops in Asahikawa!
Delifrance is our reporter’s favorite bakery, located on the 1st floor of Aeon Station, there is a counter selling drinks and soft serve ice cream in front of the store.
This is where they sell their banana juice.

This drink also have a smooth texture and is delicious!
There is a good amount of sweetness and it is satisfying to drink.

Our reporter was able to see the making of the juice: divided into several processes, it was quite elaborate.

There aren't many places that sell banana juice, so it's nice to have a store in the station.
There are quite a few banana milks, but there aren't many smoothie-type ones that contain the pulp.

At this shop, every bread is excellent and this is why, our writer advise you to drink your juice with some bread.

This! This is really delicious.
