Now Open! Takeout at Fruit Daifuku Maruhime Inside Nishinomiya-Kitaguchi Station [Nishitsu Gourmet]

We went and bought fruit daifuku from “Fruit Daifuku Maruhime” inside Nishinomiya-Kitaguchi Station, which opened yesterday, Wednesday, September 22!
（Thanks to Maemin-san for the tip!)

Fruit Daifuku from “Fruit Daifuku Maruhime”

These are the four we got.
To make those beautiful cross sections, you actually cut them with string! Of course, the string is included too!

Here’s how we cut them!

Ta-da✨ Those cross sections are gorgeous!

The white bean paste is apparently made with a special blend that keeps the sweetness restrained without using starch syrup, while preserving the natural flavor of the white beans!
That’s why it pairs so perfectly with the tartness of the fruit😋

Gold Kiwi　680 yen（tax included）
Turning kiwi into daifuku brings out its flavor so much more than eating it on its own😋

Unshu Mikan　680 yen（tax included）
The juicy mikan and clean, lightly sweet white bean paste go together surprisingly well! It leaves such a refreshing finish too!

Baked Anno Sweet Potato　520 yen（tax included）
The center is baked sweet potato as-is, and around it is a paste made by mixing baked sweet potato with smooth white bean paste.
That rich, sticky texture is pure Anno sweet potato in daifuku form!

Muskmelon 720 yen（tax included）
This is the melon of all melons! They use melon at its absolute best!
It’s so good you’ll regret swallowing it…😅

The prices listed for the fruit daifuku are for one piece.
They’re a little luxurious, but apparently they’re particular about everything: the fruit, the gyuhi mochi, and the bean paste!
There’s also that fun, entertaining moment when you cut it with the string and go “Wow!!”, so these would definitely make a great gift😊✨

Where “Fruit Daifuku Maruhime” Is Located

It’s near the north ticket gate, beside the stairs down to the platform for Takarazuka, in the spot where the Nihonsakari direct sales shop used to be. The location is also introduced in this video.

A stylish shop has appeared inside the station, the kind that makes you look twice and wonder, “What kind of place is that?”

If you go around to the right side, there are samples of the fruit daifuku currently on sale.
We’re really curious about what the fruits we didn’t try this time taste like too!

Since they can only make daifuku with fruits while they’re in season, some varieties may only be available for a short time!
We want to buy and eat them every season😋

The lovely staff will tell you their recommendations for the most delicious daifuku in season right now!

At the moment, it seems they only accept cash and PayPay, but credit cards will be accepted once preparations are complete. Since it’s inside the station, don’t forget your S Point card!

The pamphlet shows all kinds of seasonal fruits↓

From fruits whose flavors are easy to imagine to surprising ones that make you think, “Wait, does that really go well together!?”
It makes you want to try them all😋
