More than 40 years of banana cake history

Around 1960-70, Miyakojima at that time did not have the same distribution as it does now, and it did not have TV broadcasting, so it lived by enduring the peaceful everyday life and the occasional typhoon, while carefully cooperating with the islanders and working together. It was Around that time, some confectioners go to the main island of Okinawa to learn about the sweets that the confectioners celebrate on the island.
The era was right under the rule of the United States, partly due to its influence, the “banana pound cake” learned by confectioners became popular and became popular as a cake for celebrations and gifts.

The “Monte d’Or banana cake” has a moist and non-greasy texture by using no butter and shortening, but using butter and organic oil that has been organically processed by pressing, which is a traditional method. In order to enjoy the original fragrance of fully-ripened bananas, no sweeteners are used, and beet sugar, which has a gentle sweetness, is used. In addition, since it uses aluminum-free baking powder, children can enjoy it with confidence.

No sugar! The most delicious ripe banana juice! Banana juice with a 15-minute expiration date is now available!

Banana juice with a shelf life of 15 minutes

For the past 40 years, we have made the juice with the “most delicious ripeness” that can be understood because it is Montedor, which has been facing the maturity of bananas.
We don’t use sugar to fully enjoy the delicious taste of bananas. The expiration date is set to 15 minutes so that you can drink it at a delicious timing.

For the toppings, we recommend chopping chocolate into small pieces, the name of which is “Chocolate Shirishiri”!
In the Okinawan dialect, making things fine is called “shirishiri”. Everyone’s familiar carrot sashimi, we “sushi” chocolate in Montedor! Please enjoy a combination of banana juice and “Chocolate Shirishiri” that is a perfect match.
