Near Hotel The Mitsui, there is a "Banana Juice for Humans by Gorillas" shop. When you enter, you will hear a "hoo" sound. The walls are decorated with photos of past gorilla managers, but this time a cute human made the juice. While many banana juices are thick, this one has a refreshing taste that is perfect for summer.

This is a banana juice specialty shop in Kyoto where you can take out or eat in. The packaging with the word "うほ" is unique and fun! Depending on the drink you order, it may come with a gooey chocolate sauce on the outside, making it a photogenic drink. The only downside is that the shop interior is a bit small.

I ordered the menu ☆ Fully ripe and rich banana juice (plain) for 500 yen (tax included). This classic menu uses only fully ripe bananas and has been perfected through over 100 trials to achieve the perfect balance with milk. Thank you for the meal! Thank you for the banana juice for humans by gorillas, much appreciated!

The shop is surrounded by gorillas from the name of the shop to the inside, decorated with past gorillas, and unique! The most popular Triple Chocolate Banana Juice is delicious with chocolate chips and bananas that match well! It was easy to drink. A spot that is sure to be popular on Instagram.

First visit. While walking near Marutamachi Station, I came across a shop with an intriguing name and decided to go in. I ordered a plain banana juice, which was served promptly. I thought it would be made only with bananas, but it was actually mixed with milk, resulting in a mild sweetness that allowed the banana flavor to come through nicely.

I went to a shop near my house and ordered the second most popular banana with kinako. The combination of banana and kinako was surprisingly good. There were many young people in the store, all buying gorilla cookies that were Instagram-worthy. I also want to try the chocolate drink next time.

I thought it was just plain whipped cream topping, but it turned out to be kinako flavor. It seemed like the staff were busy with a group of students on a school trip, and maybe they were tired. The kinako flavor I ended up getting by accident was actually easier to drink compared to plain. I had been avoiding it, but surprisingly, kinako flavor is not bad at all.

The store has various thoughtful touches that make it enjoyable ☺︎ (outside the store too) There are plenty of Instagrammable spots. ✴︎ When I mentioned to my friend that I wanted to go here when I was near Nijo Castle, they gladly agreed and we were able to go (*´꒳`*)✴︎ As soon as you enter the store, you can hear "uho. uho." from somewhere Σ('◉⌓◉')✴︎ The menu is as follows ↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓Ripe and Rich Banana Juice (Plain) 500 yenTriple Chocolate Banana Juice 600 yenUji Matcha Banana Juice 600 yenChocolate Chip Banana Juice 550 yenCookie & Cream Banana Juice 600 yenYogurt Banana Juice 550 yenKinako Banana Juice 550 yenProtein Banana Juice 600 yenCocoa Banana Juice 550 yenLimited Time Banana Juice 600 yenToppings 50 yenToppings 100 yenBase Milk Soy Milk 50 yenBase Milk Almond Milk, Oat Milk 100 yenGorilla Cookie 200 yenUho.

Located near Kyoto's Nijo Castle, there is a banana juice specialty store called "Banana Juice for Humans by Gorillas." They offer a unique dessert called Croffle with Gorilla Cookie, which is a must-try. The Croffle has a crispy and fragrant texture, and when topped with the Gorilla Cookie, it becomes a fun and cute dessert. The banana juice is thick, rich, and sweet, making it a perfect match with the dessert. Since it's close to Nijo Castle, you can easily stop by while sightseeing. Next time, I want to try customizing my banana juice!

"Woohoo! Gorilla-made banana juice for humans at Nijo Castle in Kyoto. They have plain banana juice and triple chocolate banana juice with gorilla cookies. The naming sense of this banana juice shop is excellent. The gorilla cookies are a must-order, they are cute and funny. I tried the classic plain banana juice and the popular triple chocolate banana juice. Both were made with ripe bananas, so they were rich, sweet, and delicious. The combination of chocolate and banana is perfect. They offer various toppings like Oreos, chocolate chips, chocolate sauce, and whipped cream, so you can customize your banana juice. It's located near Nijo Castle, so you can stop by while sightseeing. The exterior and interior of the shop are interesting, making it a unique place that both adults and children can enjoy!"

There are many interesting details inside the store, such as the gorilla mascot and photos of gorillas with names displayed, providing plenty of entertainment! First, I tried the new French toast. The thick, soft and slightly sweet bread was delicious, with a crispy crust that added to the flavor. The combination of ripe banana and French toast was perfect. There were so many drink options, but I ended up ordering the popular chocolate and plain flavors. Both were creamy and delicious. I usually don't like banana juice, but the banana juice here was surprisingly easy to drink. The chocolate flavor even had chocolate chips, making it a perfect match. They also serve parfaits at night, and the banana parfait I tried was unique and tasty. The pistachio ice cream with fruit chunks was flavorful, while the caramelized bananas added a crispy and fragrant touch. The chocolate ice cream had a slight bitterness, balancing out the sweetness. It was a delicious and easy-to-eat parfait!

I visited "Banana Juice for Humans by Gorillas," a place I had been curious about for a while. They offer a variety of banana juices made from fully ripe bananas. The juice is quite rich and has a mild sweetness, making it delicious. I would love to try the chocolate version as well.

Stop by on the way from Kiyomizu-dera to Nijo Castle. Located in a residential area, but easy to spot with the sign "Uho!" A plain banana juice is ordered. One cup of juice costs 500 yen... which is expensive. Normally wouldn't drink it, but in the travel mood. After drinking, it's really delicious.

I went there because it was famous on Instagram and I wanted to see the cute atmosphere. The cookies were extra, but since the theme was gorillas, I bought them and posted them. They were moist and had a nice crisp texture, which was great. For drinks, I had the classic banana juice and the triple chocolate banana. The banana flavor was really strong, even in the aftertaste. It was easy to drink and had a delicious banana taste. Both the classic and the triple chocolate were delicious.

It was fun to experience something out of the ordinary! The playful currency exchange of 2000 yen for 9 gorilla dolls was only available at night. The banana juice was rich and there were no chairs, so it was more of a standing or takeout experience. It felt like being in an Instagram post, haha.

A banana juice specialty store is quite rare. And in Kyoto, of all places. Matcha specialty stores are more common, but a banana juice store? Haha! They must have done a lot of research on the types of bananas and milk, as well as the proportions. The result is this delicious banana juice. It's smooth and refreshing, with a light aftertaste. This must be the result of their research, right? They also sell cookies, which are perfect for a little snack. Healthy and delicious banana juice. Maybe it's the Kyoto touch that makes this shop so special.

After visiting Nijo Castle, I stumbled upon a really fun and interesting shop. It was colorful and cute, but also very carefully curated with an amazing concept. The interior was Instagram-worthy and absolutely lovely. Most importantly, the juice was incredibly delicious. I should have added some protein... It was so good that I want to go back again.

Located a 7-minute walk from Marutamachi Station on the Kyoto Municipal Subway, this shop has no parking. As you walk through the streets of Kyoto, you suddenly come across a white sign that doesn't quite fit the surrounding atmosphere, and you discover this shop. It's a famous banana juice shop. The colorful interior has four customers already seated, showing that it's quite popular. First, you purchase a ticket from the automated ticket machine near the entrance. I bought the most popular item, the Triple Chocolate Banana Juice for 550 yen including tax. Then, I handed the ticket to the woman working alone and waited for a bit. Inside the shop, there are photos of past gorilla managers displayed. The drink was ready in about 5 minutes. I tried it right away. It's a juice made by mixing well-ripened bananas with milk. The aroma and sweetness are good. The texture of the crushed chocolate adds a nice touch. However, it didn't feel particularly special. I might visit again if I have the chance. Yum.

Wow. All the past managers have been gorillas. There are many photo spots and it is a healing space for gorilla lovers, where you can enjoy a banana juice made with only fully ripe bananas. The photos of the past managers in particular are impressive. This time, I ordered the most popular menu item: - Triple Chocolate Banana Juice with whipped cream topping ✨ - Uji Matcha Banana Juice with whipped cream topping and almond milk substitution ✨ Both were topped with the popular gorilla cookie and we took lots of photos ✨. The banana juice, made with carefully selected highland bananas from the Philippines and the perfect ratio of base milk, is only served when the bananas are fully ripe, showing the strong commitment to quality. The rich sweetness and aroma of the banana juice make it undeniably delicious, and drinking a cup is sure to make you feel happy ✨. Finally, we were able to see the staff's gorilla transformation version and had a delicious and enjoyable time. This shop only serves banana juice (for dine-in or takeout) during the day, but at night it turns into a standing bar where you can also enjoy banana juice. They have a unique currency exchange system where you can exchange "yen" for "gorilla dollars" to exchange for items. They also offer a variety of food for humans by gorillas, so I plan to come back at night next time ✨. Thank you for the meal ☺️✨✨✨

I visited around 12:15 on a regular day. There were no other customers. I tried the Cookie & Cream flavor for 450 yen. I couldn't taste the cookie in it. Even though the appearance and texture made it seem like there were cookies in it. If I couldn't taste the cookie, I thought I should have chosen the protein one instead. They were not selling Gorilla Coins, so I was able to purchase it with cash.
