It looks like the bento shop “Awajiya” is coming to Nishinomiya Hankyu. It’s set to open on March 24!

The shop name is “Hankyu Nishinomiya Gardens Store”, and it says “Opening March 24”!
What is bento shop “Awajiya”?
It’s a long-established ekiben shop from Kobe, and it’s super famous! You’ll find it at pretty much every major station!
The pot-shaped container for “Hippari Tako Meshi” is so common that I feel like every household probably has one😂

Apparently, they come in all kinds of colors now😳↓ I had no idea!
There are also pink Hello Kitty pots, gold ones, silver ones, and more… lol
It makes you want to collect them! （What would you even use them for😂!?）
And then↓
Believe it or not, they even sell just the lids😂
If you have a lid, it seems like you could use the container for all sorts of things🙆
Awajiya also has lots of elaborate and delicious-looking bentos, including the “JR Freight Container Bento: Kobe Sukiyaki Edition”, which recently went viral on Twitter!
It looks like you can pick up bentos at the shop if you place your order by the morning three days in advance!

Lastly
We’ve been seeing a lot of news about new shops at Gardens lately, but now a bento shop is coming to Hankyu too! Yay🙌
Once it opens, I definitely want to go check it out right away（笑）
