Finally
With “Ultra Summer” now in full swing, the food festival following last week’s Meat Festival is the “Konamon Festival”! Every shop is from Osaka, and the food is perfect for watching a game with true Hanshin spirit, so why not stop by before the game? 😄Of course, you can still buy food even if you’re not attending the game.
