Cherry blossom season is here, and when it comes to the No. 1 most popular hanami spot in Nishinomiya, or even Hyogo…
Yes, it’s Shukugawa!
From Hanshin Nishinomiya Station, it’s just one stop to Koroen Station, and from there, a few minutes on foot brings you to rows and rows of Shukugawa’s cherry blossoms!
It’s the kind of place where you can relax and spread out your bento like this!
So!
Since Hanshin Nishinomiya is holding its Spring Food Appreciation Festival from March 26(Wed) to April 1(Tue), Shacho-mi went over and tried seven spring gourmet items!
This is the Western-style deli “eashion”, which is celebrating one year since its reopening at Hanshin Nishinomiya!
Hamburg Steak with Special Hayashi Sauce 550 yen (tax included)*Special price through April 1
Packed with meaty flavor! The hayashi sauce is gently sweet and deeply rich.
I seriously love this potato salad! Chunky potatoes with seared cheese are irresistible!
Premium Meaty Fillet Cutlet115 yen (tax included)*Special price through April 1
It’s packed with meat! The seasoning is spot-on. And the fact that it stays crispy even when it cools down gets a big ⭕️! Great with rice or beer
Also celebrating its first renewal anniversary is Croquette no Iroha! They told us about their popular items
Five-Piece Croquette Set 501 yen (tax included)*Special price through April 1
So thick!
The curry flavor everyone loves is great too, but my personal pick is bacon cheese! The sweet pumpkin and black soybean one is also recommended for kids.
Omurice 594 yen (tax included)*Special price through April 1
Made with two sauces: tomato sauce and demi-glace. Twice the deliciousness.
The sauce still has that crisp onion texture, and it goes perfectly with the ketchup rice.
The egg is incredibly fluffy and melty! Give it a try.
There are plenty more side dishes and bento perfect for spring
A Japanese classic! From “Koichian,” which sells rolled sushi and onigiri…
“Koichian” Shrimp Chirashi 735 yen (tax included)*Special price through April 1
