Welcome to “Nishikon,” a corner where readers’ “I did this in Nishinomiya!” stories become articles.(It’s called Nishikon, but it has absolutely nothing to do with matchmaking or marriage hunting.)
This one comes from 黒蓮.
This time, 黒蓮 is sharing the dishes they had at “シチリアの朝市” in the West Building 1 of ACTA Nishinomiya!
Here it is on the floor map↓
It’s in West Building 1, next to the north escalator.
All the Things We Ate at “シチリアの朝市”
Homemade Marinated Salmon ¥550(tax included)
It’s refreshing, comes out fairly quickly, and feels like a salad-style appetizer.
I love salmon! This one’s a must.
Fresh Fish Carpaccio ¥1,408(tax included)
On this day, it was greater amberjack. Fresh sashimi with olive oil and herbs. I also liked that the carpaccio came with wasabi.
It’s Italian, but I love how it has a bit of a Japanese feel too✨
Caprese with Special Mozzarella Cheese ¥1,298(tax included)
Soft, fluffy cheese paired with tomatoes that have a sweet-tart flavor like strawberries. Such a great harmony!
It really looks like a dessert too♪
We started strong with a lineup that goes well with white wine.
So gorgeous✨✨
Assorted Prosciutto (Jamón Serrano) ¥1,078(tax included)
It wasn’t too salty, and the prosciutto was soft and easy to eat. You can really enjoy the concentrated umami of the meat.
Prosciutto has to go with red wine, right?♪
Right: Chicken Spiedini ¥440(tax included)
Left: Lamb Spiedini ¥638(tax included)
The chicken was tender and juicy. Compared with yakitori, it was larger and really satisfying. The lamb had a nice balance of lean meat and fat, and the usual gamey lamb smell was toned down, making it easy to eat. Personally, I liked it.
Comparing two kinds of meat. So luxurious✨
Oyster and Kujo Negi Ajillo ¥1,280(tax included)
Whoa! All that Kujo negi looks irresistible!
The oysters are so plump!!
Oysters this time of year are great, lol. The flavor and texture of the Kujo negi were really nice, and there were mushrooms in there too. Put it on a baguette and eat it together, and you’ll be happy. It makes the drinks go down way too easily, lol.
Lucky you! It looks like it has such a grown-up flavor♡
I got another serving of baguette, soaked it until it was completely drenched, and was very satisfied.
Espresso ¥440(tax included)
Espresso to finish. The customers were almost all women (about 80% madams), so I wondered if the pricing is aimed at the Nishikita madam crowd. It seems really good for a light drink as your second or third stop.
Ohhh, it definitely is on the pricier side. Seems perfect for a “today is a little special” kind of day♪
