Grapestone Co., Ltd. (headquartered in Ginza, Chuo-ku, Tokyo), operator of "Tokyo Banana World," has renewed its Legendary Curry Bread sold at Tokyo Banana's flagship store in JR Tokyo Station. The dough is now chewier and fluffier, and the curry filling has a richer flavor.
The Legendary Curry Bread Gets a Power-Up After Nearly 4 Years and 300,000 Units Sold!
Originally sold in Marunouchi 1-chome, Tokyo in 2002, this curry bread once sold 2,000 servings per day before being discontinued. In 2022, it was revived at Tokyo Banana's, infused with the knowledge and passion of confectionery artisans. Now, the Legendary Curry Bread has been renewed to be even more delicious, with enhanced chewiness in the dough and deeper richness in the curry.
About Tokyo Banana's Legendary Curry Bread
The curry is made with a mixture of ground pork and beef simmered with sautéed onions and fresh cream, then generously enhanced with smooth banana purée. This creates a perfectly balanced combination of mellow richness, sweet aroma, and fresh flavor all melting together. The coating is made with delicate feuillantine, giving it exceptional crispy fragrance. The bread is chewy and fluffy. The unique deliciousness of a confectionery shop overflows from every bite.
Product Name: Tokyo Banana's Legendary Curry Bread

Renewal Highlights
1. Enhanced Chewy and Fluffy Texture!
The bread dough formula has been adjusted to increase the chewy texture. Combined with the crispy feuillantine, the result is an even more satisfying "crispy-chewy" texture.
2. Deeper Curry Richness!
The proportions of meat and other ingredients have been adjusted. While maintaining the fruity character of the banana purée, the richness has been enhanced. This is truly a curry filling that only Tokyo Banana could create.

The "Mottainai Banana" project designates bananas that are still delicious to eat but must be discarded due to various factors in the distribution process as "Mottainai Bananas," with the goal of eliminating such waste. Through this project, Dole Corporation promotes proper understanding that "Mottainai Bananas" are quality-guaranteed products, not inferior because they're discarded items, and that they are valuable resources for the planet and environment. The company aims to serve as a leader in improving food loss reduction literacy in Japan.
