I finished it myself! Banana juice! It's a cute banana juice shop where you can enjoy various types of banana juice, including simple banana juice, protein versions, and various toppings. I topped mine with strawberries. I wait for the staff to pouch it. Once it's done, the banana is still whole, so I use a cute hammer to smash it into a size that can be sucked with a straw and mix in the strawberries. It's quite tiring as it requires a lot of smashing. Unfortunately, the container doesn't look great once it's finished. The taste is just like regular banana juice. The staff seemed to be having fun flirting with each other, and my friends were having a lively time, making it a student-like atmosphere in the shop.

*【Banana×Banana】 @bananabanana0803* Crush and drink, whole banana juice⁉️ Using a hammer to crush it... this can be a stress-relieving experience, or something fun, haha. Made with Ecuadorian bananas that have been aged for about 4 days and then "rapidly frozen" to make the juice, resulting in intensified sweetness✨ Plus, there's a whole fresh banana included in the juice, making it incredibly banana-flavored❣️❣️ *Passion fruit x mango chocolate sauce x chocolate flakes* - incredibly delicious and exciting❤️ Not too heavy, you can drink it smoothly. It's filling, so it's recommended for meal replacement or when you're short on time. Recently, an online store has been opened too!! If you want to enjoy the true taste of bananas, try the Banana×Banana banana juice.

Banana juice, crushed with frozen to make it half-frozen and drink. It's like a sherbet. If it melts too much, the banana remains, making it difficult to drink, but it has a refreshing taste with some acidity. I haven't tried the green one yet!

When I was watching TV, I heard that after tapioca, the next big thing is banana juice. It's becoming popular among young people because of its colorful and eye-catching appearance. From 3 specialized shops in Tokyo in 2019, the number has increased to over 50 in 2021. I thought there were more banana juice specialty stores popping up recently, but I didn't realize it was growing at such a rapid pace. It's interesting how in the Waseda area, I rarely interact with students or young people when drinking in other neighborhoods. However, when I drink in Waseda, I find myself engaging with Waseda students. I learned about this new place from the owner of a bar I frequent. He mentioned that there are students who come to his bar, so he recommended that I visit this new place. Curious about this encounter, I finally visited the place. It seems that this place has been featured on TV recently, but they are facing challenges due to the pandemic. The location is along Waseda Street, near the entrance of Tozuka Daiichi Elementary School. It's a bit of a walk from JR Takadanobaba Station towards Waseda. Although not in a prime location, it's next to the popular ramen shop, Laa Men Yamaguchi, so it attracts not only students but also other customers. Next to it is a Lawson convenience store, and across the street is the Waseda Tsu Post Office, making it easy to spot. I ordered a "Banana x Banana" for 600 yen and added a topping of "Sauce x Crush" with the recommended Caramel Almond for an additional 150 yen. I was clueless and just ordered at the counter. The staff recommended the Sauce x Crush topping with Caramel Almond, and I agreed without really understanding. Sauce x Crush allows you to choose one sauce like condensed milk or chocolate, and one crush like strawberry or kiwi. It was quite challenging for a beginner like me. While takeout was an option, I wasn't sure how to eat it, so I waited for my order in the dining area. The staff's carefree smiles and youthful energy made me appreciate their work ethic. Despite my reservations, the camaraderie and energetic atmosphere were truly irreplaceable. The TV in the shop showed how to eat the banana juice, so I followed along. The taste was refreshing, made from two whole bananas, but I should have pounded it harder as there were still chunks left. It's important to listen to the staff's advice and follow through. I was filled with the freshness of bananas and the energetic power of young people.

I was curious about the trendy banana juice lately! This juice uses two whole bananas, one for the juice and the other with a whole banana inside that you smash with a hammer before drinking. There are three tables where you can enjoy it in the store, but they also offer takeout and delivery. It was fun to smash it yourself, and the pulp added a nice texture that you can adjust to your liking. I tried the plain flavor (600 yen) this time. Even though it was plain, it was very rich and satisfying, and just one glass filled me up quite a bit!

Located a 5-minute walk from Nishi-Waseda Station, this banana juice shop faces a main street. They offer a unique banana juice experience where a whole banana is smashed on the spot and then consumed. Unlike traditional banana juices that are completely blended, this one retains a significant amount of banana fruit, providing a satisfying drinking experience that almost feels like a meal! Personally, I found the almond and caramel flavor to be delicious. The almonds are roughly crushed, adding a nice texture. What's great is that the cup can be easily crushed like a plastic bag after finishing the drink, making it convenient. With a variety of flavors to choose from, I look forward to trying other combinations in the future. (It seems that the juice can last for about a week if frozen!)

Banana×Banana is a cute and fun shop where they crush two Ecuadorian bananas to make fresh juice with a hammer. The juice is delicious and each serving is only 200 calories. The shop is bright and Instagram-worthy, with the option for takeout or online ordering. They offer different sauce and topping options for the crushed bananas, like condensed milk with strawberries or chocolate sauce with chocolate chips. The customization options include soy milk or almond milk for an extra charge. This popular shop has been featured on TV shows and offers a unique fresh juice experience.

Banana juice, which has been featured on shows like King's Brunch, is currently trending. This luxurious banana juice uses a total of two whole bananas! The flavors of condensed milk, strawberry, and chocolate seem to be popular, but I prefer caramel! You can use a special hammer to smash the bananas to your desired size and enjoy the pulp sensation while drinking. It's a great way to relieve stress. You can also freeze it in a vacuum pack for storage. It's about 200 calories, making it a healthy option for meal replacement diets. Enjoy!

I went to try the banana juice that has been featured multiple times on TV. It's a luxurious banana juice made with two whole bananas. What surprised me was that they use a special hammer to smash the whole banana into pieces before drinking. It's fun and apparently helps with stress relief and enhances the texture of the fruit. The juice comes in vacuum-sealed packs, making it easy to freeze and enjoy as a quick breakfast or snack. With only about 200 calories, it's also great for those looking to replace a meal for a healthier option. I had a great time trying it and the taste was delicious, so I definitely plan on going back. It's perfect for families or hanging out with friends.

It was a really fun shop! Located a 5-minute walk from Nishi-Waseda Station, along a main street. The interior is bright with yellow decor. They use Ecuadorian bananas that are aged for about 4 days and quickly frozen to make the juice, then add a whole fresh banana on top. You can enjoy the natural taste of two bananas in the Banana Juice. The plain one costs 600 yen, and you can choose toppings like chocolate, caramel, condensed milk, passion fruit, honey, chocolate chips, almonds, strawberries, mangoes, kiwis, soy milk, or almond milk for an extra charge. I ordered the recommended 6 toppings: double chocolate, condensed milk, strawberry, caramel, almonds, passion fruit, and kiwi. The most popular flavors are double chocolate and strawberry. I tried the condensed milk and strawberry in the store. They crush a half-frozen banana with a special hammer and you can adjust the pulp size by how much you hit it. It's a great stress reliever! The texture was satisfying and it was very delicious with good staying power and only about 200kcal. It's perfect for dieting! I imagined it would be like a smoothie, but it's completely different. It's the ultimate banana juice! It's vacuum-packed so you can freeze it at home and enjoy it for breakfast or a snack. I took home the Banana Passion Kiwi, used a rolling pin to crush it, and shared it with my mother. It was a different deliciousness from the condensed milk and strawberry, very refreshing and tasty! You can also enjoy it with granola, yogurt, or fruits, and have fun with different combinations. Highly recommended!

When you stop by Nishi Waseda, be sure to visit here... The shop exudes warmth from the exterior with a wooden feel. The interior is a blend of trendy edge for students and a cozy family-friendly atmosphere. It's also great for a date! Today's top 3 best-selling items at Banana×Banana in Nishi Waseda are: 1) Chocolate sauce and chocolate chips 2) Condensed milk and strawberries 3) Caramel sauce and almonds. Each juice contains a whole banana and is equivalent to two regular servings. The rich and creamy banana juice is priced at 600 yen for plain and 750 yen for customized options. You can switch to cow's milk or soy milk for free, or almond milk for an additional 50 yen. The unique experience of smashing and drinking the juice is quite interesting. The key is to open the seal slightly when the banana inside starts to loosen and release its essence. This helps maintain a vacuum state to savor the fresh banana. Smashing can also be a stress-relieving and enjoyable activity. This banana juice has been featured multiple times on TV shows like "Ousama no Buranchi" (TBS) and "Mezamashi TV" (Fuji TV). It's a trending product that you must try!

From Nishi-Waseda Station on the Fukutoshin Line, it's a little less than a 10-minute walk. Located on Waseda Street, this is a banana juice shop. The menu consists of only banana juice. You can choose toppings for the juice, and you can also change the milk to soy milk or almond milk. They hand you a pouch containing banana and milk. Then, you use the hammer on the table to smash the pouch and crush the banana! If you're with a group of young people, using the hammer could be a fun activity. Crushing the banana might be a bit challenging, so it may not be a great stress reliever (laughs). As long as the banana is about half crushed, you can drink it. You need good lung capacity, but you can sip it through a straw. The banana is sweet and delicious! I thought, "Bananas are so tasty!" as I enjoyed the premium banana juice while having fun crushing it.

They use fresh whole bananas right in front of you. Delicious! And filling too! It's great to have it freshly made. It's also delicious to freeze and turn into sorbet for takeout. I recommend the kiwi and chocolate flavors!

I saw this shop on social media and was curious about it. The banana juice, where they crush the banana with a hammer as you drink it, was very refreshing. It's one of those trendy drinks, but it tastes delicious and you can enjoy a refreshing banana juice.

This place is not close to any station, making it inconvenient for non-students. After eating ramen nearby, I stopped by this cute little shop for the first time. The shop offers a banana juice for 600 yen with the option to add toppings (one fruit and one syrup) for an additional 150 yen. The staff, who seemed like a cute male student, recommended adding condensed milk and strawberries as toppings. After a few minutes, I received a pouch of juice and used a hammer in the shop to break it. I thought it was ready after touching it for 2-3 minutes, so I cut the top of the bag, inserted a straw, and started walking while drinking. However, I realized that maybe I should have hit it more, as it would have been tastier. The juice was fresh and delicious, but there wasn't much of it, so I finished it in just a few minutes. At 750 yen, the cost-effectiveness as a simple drink may not be great. Perhaps the true essence of this experiential drink lies in enjoying conversation while hitting it.

It's just for the Instagram-worthy look, haha. It tastes like regular banana juice that you can make if you have a blender. It's not worth going all the way to Nishi-Waseda just for this. Maybe try it if you happen to be in the area, but I probably won't go again.

I went to the trending banana juice shop, Banana Banana, where I tried the caramel topping with nuts and it was my favorite ❤️ They use fully ripe bananas and smash them with a wooden hammer before serving. I tried all six varieties and loved the chocolate one too. It's not only delicious but also good for beauty and health. I recommend it to anyone who loves banana juice and cafes.

During a summer vacation where you can't go anywhere, I went with my friends in Tokyo to a newly opened banana juice specialty store called Banana×Banana this month. One interesting thing here is that you can smash the banana yourself and drink it. We went with a group of six during a slightly free time in the morning and decided to try all the recommended varieties: - Banana×Banana - Banana×Banana with Double Chocolate - Banana×Banana with Condensed Milk and Strawberry - Banana×Banana with Caramel Almond - Banana×Banana with Passion Mango - Banana×Banana with Passion Kiwi After ordering, the staff made the drinks in the back and brought them to us, which was exciting. The display dolls next to the register were holding mini-sized Banana×Banana drinks, which were cute. There was a crush set on the table with a hammer that had a cute monkey design similar to the packaging. The banana juice arrived! Each cold banana juice pouch had a whole banana inside, with additional toppings. It was quite a sight when lined up. We eagerly smashed the bananas, worried about them flying out of the pouch, but it was all good. It's best to crush them until you can drink through a straw. After opening the pouch and inserting a straw, the taste was incredibly banana-like! It might seem like a small amount in the pouch, but it's actually quite substantial and rich in flavor. Each drink was satisfying, and perfect for a hot day to get some nutritional boost. Thank you for the feast!

After having lunch with my dad, we visited this banana juice specialty store that opened in August. It seems like banana juice shops are starting to pop up in Waseda. Maybe the tapioca boom is coming to an end. We walked into the store and placed our order at the counter. I wasn't sure what to get, so I just ordered the "Banana Banana" with a whole banana in it for 600 yen. You can choose your sauce and crush as toppings. The sauce options were chocolate, caramel, condensed milk, passion fruit, and honey, while the crush toppings included chocolate flakes, almonds, strawberries, mangoes, and kiwi. Since it was my first visit and I had no idea what would taste good together, I went with the "recommended customization" which was chocolate sauce and chocolate flakes. The toppings were an additional cost of 150 yen. I paid 750 yen at the register and waited for my juice. While waiting, my dad found a hammer in the store and asked what it was for. Even I didn't know (^_^; The staff explained that they use the hammer to crush the banana inside the juice. I couldn't even imagine that! The older generation is struggling to keep up with the trends in juice these days (laughs). When the banana juice was handed to us, I was surprised by the container. It looked like a plastic bag with banana and juice inside. So, do we use the hammer to crush this? I asked the staff, and they confirmed. My dad hammered away until the banana shape disappeared. The staff then inserted a straw, and we left the store. The juice in the plastic bag-like container was only half full. When I took a sip, it was okay, but... is this really worth 750 yen?! My dad and I were shocked. It felt way too expensive (*_*) Maybe the high price is for the fun of using the hammer. This unique banana juice in the student-less Waseda area, let's see how far it can go... Thank you for the meal.

It's a new sensation banana juice where they crush the whole banana and you can drink it. The banana flavor is strong and it's quite satisfying to drink. They are still researching toppings, so there is potential for more in the future.
