Finally
It’s nice that we’ll be able to casually enjoy Gyukaku yakiniku in the food court! Gyukaku apparently used to have locations in Nishinomiya-Kitaguchi, Hanshin Nishinomiya, and Shukugawa, but all of them have since closed, leaving no locations in the city at the moment. So there are probably quite a few people who have been waiting for this opening😄
