Yesterday we wrote an article about construction starting just north of Hanshin Koshien Station~
(Thanks to Kumamono-san for the tip)

This spot.
If you look closely…
Kurukuru Sushi
Is this a shop that’s going to open here? Or is it a trace of a shop that used to be here? 🤔
Here it is on the map↓
The address is 16-8 Koshien Rokubancho, Nishinomiya, Hyogo.
We didn’t know what used to be here, so we wrote “please send info to Nishitsu,” and we received lots of past information!
So we’ll introduce it as a Miyakko Detective article!
I went there to eat a few times with my husband, who I was dating at the time.
I remember it being such a small place that it didn’t even need to rotate.
Did they have sushi and fried foods, maybe?
I’m sure there are people who remember it more clearly.
So it was Kurukuru Sushi, and even though it didn’t need to rotate, it did!
Before that, the same owner ran a pet-related shop there.
Before the hair salon, I remember there being something like a dog grooming salon. I feel like that was there about 25 years ago, so if Kurukuru Sushi came before that, it must have been before the dog grooming salon, which means it was quite a long time ago.
I see, that connects with the pet-related shop… And a dog grooming salon 25 years ago.
Back when conveyor-belt sushi still wasn’t mainstream… more than 20 years ago.
Before that, there was a conveyor-belt sushi place!
About 25 years ago.
So the period seems to be around the year 2000.
from a shop that used to be part of the Sushikko Taro chain,
and then Moustache was there.
It’s probably a remaining trace of that.
When we looked up Sushikko Taro online, it seems there were locations around Nishinomiya, Amagasaki, Takarazuka, and Itami, and message boards say the name changed to “Sushikko Kazu” and then gradually disappeared around the year 2000.Source
Was it more than 30 years ago? I think there was a conveyor-belt sushi place called Kazu. I ate there once.
Maybe this is what’s left of it?
Kazu, then~ It seems highly likely it was around 1995.
To sum up the information
Kurukuru Sushi was probably a small conveyor-belt sushi shop operating at this location around 1995. The name may have changed from Sushikko Taro to Sushikko Kazu?
As our investigation result:
The words “Kurukuru Sushi” do not mean a new “Kurukuru Sushi” is opening here; they are the remains of a sign from a sushi restaurant that was operating here around 1995.
Thank you so much to all the Miyakko Detectives for the information!!
It seems likely that some other kind of shop will be opening at this location. If we find out anything, we’ll write another article!
