Yesterday, Tuesday, December 17, I went to check out the inside of the newly opened food theme park in Nishinomiya, “Shokuseikatsu♥♥LOPIA.”
They’re currently limiting entry〜
On opening day, the line was so intense that some people gave up on going inside. （Apparently 400 people were already lined up before opening）
Here’s our report on the line↓
Here it is on the map↓
The address is Konan Nishinomiya Imazu Store 2F, 1-26 Imazu Minatomachi, Nishinomiya, Hyogo.
Shacho-mi also went inside LOPIA, so I’ll show you what the atmosphere was like.
Here’s the floor map↓
The entrance is on the left. The exit is on the right.
The “contents and prices” of the products introduced below may vary by store. These are from the Nishinomiya Imazu store at the time of our 12/17 visit. Also, prices in this article include tax〜
Vegetable and Fruit Section (Yaomonoya Azuma)
Right after you enter
Let’s take a look at the vegetable and fruit section〜
A huge bunch of bananas. I’ve never seen anything like this〜! It said they made it cheaper than the flyer price. It was 322 yen at the time
A winter staple. The mandarins were sold out〜. They sell them by the 3 kg box…
Still, there were so many customers.
The broccoli from the flyer. It looked super fresh〜. 106 yen until 12/19
The daikon radishes are huge. Also, the way they’re displayed is so much fun.
Bunashimeji mushrooms. This price is for two bunches〜.
A whole napa cabbage was 205 yen. With bunashimeji and napa cabbage, you pretty much have to make hot pot〜
Banana flower?? Finding mysterious items like this is another classic LOPIA thing. Apparently it has a texture like bamboo shoots
What do you think this is?
It’s durian〜
Not hibernation, but seasonal sleep. It preserves peaches just as they are when they’re in season.
These Tianjin roasted chestnuts. They’re seriously heavy! The size is very LOPIA.
They even have frozen chocolate bananas〜. I’m curious about these〜
Fresh Fish Section (Nihonbashi Uoman)
Next up is the heart of Japan,
Let’s head over to the fresh fish section〜
Whoa! What is this〜?
It’s split-open kinmedai red bream〜! So big〜. It looks perfect for hot pot. This is an opening-only special sale. The sliced coho salmon next to it is amazing too
Crab〜. Such great quality at this low price! The more you buy, the better the deal. It’s like magic〜
Fresh salmon flown in from Chile that has never been frozen. It’s rich and fatty and seriously delicious! This is also an opening-only special sale.
And the sushi selection was incredible.
A big pack of toppings for hand-rolled sushi. This would be great for a birthday or something.
！！！！
It’s sticking out way too much on both sides! And it’s way too thick!
A sushi section where you can choose your favorite toppings.
Honmaguro otoro. So melty〜〜〜
Wait lol You can eat otoro, chutoro, and akami all at once. This is totally the kind of thing a YouTuber would do a “I tried eating it alone” video with
Is this an eel cake? lol
So thick!! The product name is “Unatama-don.” It’s 1,080 yen as an opening special price.
