Let’s Enjoy Kansai Shopping Malls! Special～
Four restaurants were introduced from among the more than 60 dining spots.
Hint🔔
- A shop that opened in Osaka in 1972 and is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year
- Opened in Nishinomiya Gardens on March 22, 2022
- Its first location in Hyogo Prefecture
If you’ve read every corner of Nishitsu’s articles, you should definitely know this～🤗
The quiz is about the Chai, 580 yen, which we tried for Nishitsu Gourmet～
The correct answer is b.カンテグランデ.
It’s on the 3rd floor of the main building at Hankyu Nishinomiya Gardens.
They introduced the Hankyu Nishinomiya Gardens exclusive カンテグランデプレート, 1,450 yen😀
It comes with two kinds of their famous curry blended with more than 10 spices, plus tandoori chicken, so it’s really filling♪
Also, their ゴータマショコラ, 580 yen cake, which hasn’t changed since the shop first opened, is apparently recommended too♪
It’s said to have a texture like tiramisu, with a gentle aroma of rum as a hidden flavor～😋
The other three shops introduced were↓↓
“芦屋 天がゆ”, whose main shop is in Ashiya.
They use high-quality sunflower oil, so the tempura fries up crisp, drains well, and seems easy to eat without feeling heavy on the stomach～😀
Their most popular item, the “桃之献立,” 1,892 yen, was featured～It even came with four shrimp😲
カルディコーヒーファーム
There are only nine Kaldi Coffee Farm locations nationwide like this,
and outside Tokyo, the Gardens shop is the only one with an attached cafe～
That’s seriously amazing! Something Nishinomiya can be proud of.
During the broadcast, someone from the shop said, “Nishinomiya has many people with refined taste”～🤗🤗🤗
When Nishinomiya gets praised, I can be happy forever～
Hyogo Prefecture’s first 治一郎 location.
Jiichiro’s baumkuchen is all about moistness, and it was described as being so moist you don’t even need a drink～😀
Regular baumkuchen totally takes all the moisture from your mouth, right? lol
There were people who came from Kyoto and Awaji Island just to buy Jiichiro’s baumkuchen～that’s how appealing it is, isn’t it😍
In Closing
The restaurants at Gardens really are so appealing～. They’re also currently running a campaign where the food court is 500 yen off every weekday.
When you’re not sure where to eat, there’s that easy feeling of “shall we just go to Gardens?” and there are so many great restaurants there.
Come to think of it, Hankyu Nishinomiya Gardens apparently won the grand prize two years in a row in a contest that selects the commercial facility with the best tenants～. In other words, it’s number one in Japan♪
Gardens is popular with both shops and customers, and it really is impressive～
