Are you familiar with "Earth-Grown Happy Bananas," which are sold in limited quantities daily at the Fresh Market (fresh food) on the first basement floor of Isetan Shinjuku? These bananas, grown in the highlands of Mindanao, Philippines, are sold in packs of three for 2,160 yen. They are packed with flesh and offer a sweet, fruity flavor. You can now enjoy the "Earth-Grown Happy Banana Parfait," made with these premium bananas, at "BISTRO CAFE LADIES & GENTLEMEN" on the third floor of the main building.


Bananas grown in high altitudes develop thick, sweet fruit.

"Earth-Grown Happy Bananas" are premium bananas with packaging designed by Oki Sato, head of the design studio "nendo," and named by magazine editor Jiro Ishikawa. They are grown on farms located at an altitude of over 1000m in the "Super Highlands" of Mount Calatonga on Mindanao Island in the Philippines.

Although the area planted with bananas is very small, and cultivation at the altitude considered the limit for banana growth, as well as the subsequent heating process, takes several days, the large temperature difference between day and night allows the fruit to grow thick and sweet.


Served with chocolate sauce and caramelized bananas.

As you eat the "Earth-Grown Happy Banana Parfait," a variety of flavors come at you one after another: caramel nuts, moist fondant chocolate, vanilla ice cream, and more. Chocolate sauce and caramelized bananas are added to further enhance the flavor, ensuring a truly "happy" experience until the very last bite!

The Bistro Cafe Ladies and Gentlemen on the 3rd floor of the main building, which offers the "Earth-Grown Happy Banana Parfait," is food-produced by Takeshi Kinoshita, a leading figure in French bistros known for "Au Gamin de Tokyo," which has famous people from Japan and abroad as its clientele. The cake production is handled by Sadaharu Aoki of "Patisserie Sadaharu Aoki Paris," a Paris-based patisserie that leads the world, allowing you to enjoy original Tokyo-style bistro menus created by Japan's leading chefs and pastry chefs.
