New Tokyo Banana pick-up service starts at Haneda airport

Picking up souvenirs at Haneda Airport just got a whole lot easier with the launch of a new collection service.

Tokyo Banana World is well known for its popular banana-themed cakes which are popular as gifts and sold in a large number of stores at train stations and airports in Japan.

They have partnered with “Take Eats” to introduce a seamless online pre-ordering service at its Haneda Airport Terminal 1 Western Confectionery Store.

The aim behind this partnership is to enhance the customer experience by offering a streamlined way to secure their favorite treats, especially for travelers with tight schedules.

Take Eats is a technology company that allows confectionery shops, bakeries, and other food retailers to manage online orders and ensure smooth in-store pickups.

Their service has rapidly gained traction in Japan, with over 2,000 stores adopting the platform.

This reflects the changing landscape of consumer behavior, particularly in the post-pandemic era where people increasingly seek the convenience of online ordering even if they have to then physically collect the goods from a store.

The introduction of “Take Eats” at Tokyo Banana World’s Haneda Airport location is a change that they hope will help meet the needs of modern travelers.

With online payment options, customers can bypass the checkout line and simply collect their pre-paid goods, making the airport experience significantly more efficient.

This integration is particularly beneficial during peak travel periods, when airport stores experience high volumes of foot traffic.

By pre-ordering through “Take Eats” customers can avoid potential queues and ensure they don’t miss out on their preferred Tokyo Banana delights.

Orders can be placed from the dedicated Tokyo Banana store on the “Take Eats” platform where customers can browse and select from a variety of Tokyo Banana World products.

Two of the most popular items available for pre-order are:

Tokyo Banana “I found it” Box

The classic soft sponge cake filled with banana custard cream.

Tokyo Banana Bear (Honey Banana flavor) “I found it” Box

Adorable bear themed sponge cakes with a honey-infused banana cream filling.

If you’re passing through Haneda Airport on your way out of Japan, the new pick-up service could help you save time, which can be particularly useful if you’re in a rush to make it through security and catch your flight.
