“Which Nishinomiya souvenir is guaranteed to make people happy?”
There were a few places that were overwhelmingly popular in this survey, but Nishinomiya has plenty of other amazing souvenirs to be proud of too! Let’s take a look.
“Mlesna Tea House” in Kamikoshien
A specialty tea shop just a little off Route 2 in Kamikoshien. They sell gifts, and you can also enjoy tea inside the shop.
Mlesna tea
There are so many flavors, and each one has a message suited to the person you’re giving it to or the occasion, so it’s easy to choose.

“Amakara no Sekijuan” in Imazu
An antenna shop for Ozeki located in Imazu along Sakagura-dori. By the way, an antenna shop is a store used to gauge reactions to a company’s products.
Ozeki sake manju
They’re bite-sized and easy to eat, and the Ozeki name is stamped on them, so it’s easy to tell they’re from Nishinomiya!

They’re easy to give even to people who don’t drink alcohol, and they’re a delicious treat that lets you say, “One Cup Ozeki is from Nishinomiya!”

“Pâtisserie Minette” in Oyacho
A cake shop run by a cat-loving couple in Oyacho along Nakatsuhama.
Minette’s cat cookies
I gave them to a friend who has a cat. I really wanted them to try the cakes, but they live far away, so I chose the cookies instead. They were a hit, and my friend said they were so cute it felt like a waste to eat them.

These are cat cookies, but they also have super cute cat cakes, making this a must-buy treat for cat lovers.
