Nishinomiya’s Local Gourmet Food! Restaurants Will Be Setting Up Stalls
For this Araebisu Night Festival, around 20 shops are expected to set up stalls. Here are some of the shops we reported on last time that will be back again this year.
Tsumi木, the dashi shop near Hanshin Nishinomiya known for its dashimaki omelet, will be there again.
Tori no Katsuragi will be coming too.
Kushizen near Hanshin Nishinomiya Station as well.
Chinsankaku, a Chinese restaurant in Toda-cho.
There’s also Taim, a Mediterranean restaurant. Last time, they served paella made with pasta.
Of course, Yakiniku Kacchan in front of Nishinomiya Shrine will also be taking part～.
There’s just so much Nishinomiya gourmet food that goes perfectly with drinks!!
Many other shops we’ve covered on Nishitsu, including Taniya Seian, Bomaye, and TORIKARA STAND, will also be setting up stalls.
The Stamp Rally Prizes Are Surprisingly Nice
There will be a stamp rally with prizes.
The prizes are food and drink vouchers, excluding beer and alcohol, with 1,500 winners each day and 3,000 winners in total. That’s a lot of winners.
Here are the details:
- 1st prize: 100-yen voucher × 10 plus “ume” from JA Kinan
- 2nd prize: 100-yen voucher × 5
- 3rd prize: 100 yen × 3
- No-prize draw: either 100-yen voucher × 1 or one soft drink
Even if you don’t win, you still get a 100-yen voucher or a juice. Pretty generous.
How to Get a Stamp Rally Card
Inside Nishinomiya Shrine, go here↓
Visit Araebisu Shrine. Its actual name is Okinoebisu Shrine.
Since 沖恵美酒神社 is read as Okinoebisu Jinja, and the characters 恵美酒 (ebisu) include the characters for “beautiful sake,” that’s why it’s an alcohol festival.
What you can get↓
- Stamp rally cards for the first 1,500 people
- Sapporo Beer tenugui towels for 500 people
On the shrine grounds map, it’s here↓
Enter through the South Gate along Route 43, and it’s immediately on your left.
Please note that this is a festival involving alcohol, so please don’t come by bicycle or car～
By the way, on July 7 there will also be food stalls, and you can enjoy Tanabata, which appears in the Milky Way～
Finally
The Araebisu Night Festival is being held for the first time in 4 years, and above all, it’s a rare festival where you can enjoy alcohol, so it should be a lot of fun. Let’s raise a glass with Nishinomiya’s pride, Hakushika sake, and Ebisu beer and enjoy it!
