It looks like the ramen shop “Strike-ken NOODLE STUDIO” on the outer perimeter of Koshien Stadium will be closing on November 23.

The final day of business will be Saturday, November 23 (national holiday), the day of the Hanshin Tigers Fan Appreciation Day. If Fan Appreciation Day is postponed, they will remain open until that rescheduled date.
By the way, it seems the “Strike-ken” inside the stadium will also close on the same day.
Here it is on the map↓
The address is Hanshin Koshien, 1-82 Koshien-cho, Nishinomiya, Hyogo. It is located next to Gate 16 on the stadium’s outer perimeter, and also on the 1st floor left field side of the outfield area.
“Strike-ken NOODLE STUDIO” was also featured in Nishitsu Gourmet.
The “MVP (Special Chuka Soba)” had a light yet rich soup with plenty of chicken oil. Their main shop is in Tenma, Osaka, and apparently it had been selected as one of Tabelog’s Top 100 Restaurants for four years in a row.
Final Thoughts
It opened in April 2022, and there were apparently always lines on game days. Since you could dine in at the outer perimeter shop and get takeout inside the stadium, it was a rare ramen specialty shop at Koshien Stadium, so it’s sad to see it close. They’ll be open until November 23, so if you want to try it, be sure to go before then.
