R.L’s “Hankyu Train Coro Coro Cube” at Nishinomiya Hankyu [Nishitsu Gourmet]

At the waffle cake shop “R.L (R.L)” on the 1st floor of Nishinomiya Hankyu, I always thought it was pronounced “Aru Eru” ^^; Turns out the French-style reading is “Eru Eru”,

I bought the Hankyu Railway collaboration“Korokoro Cube” ヽ(^o^)丿

R.L’s “Hankyu Railway Korokoro Cube”

The package was a Hankyu limited express train (^^)So cute 💖

It’s a set of three: Kobe-Sannomiya (chocolate), Osaka-Umeda (plain), and Kyoto-Kawaramachi (maple), for ¥972 including tax ↓

Here’s what’s inside! They’re about 3 cm square (*^^)v

They have a crispy texture, kind of like waffles turned into cookies.

There are about 10 pieces in each box. They’re bite-sized and easy to eat.

All of them have a gentle flavor, so you could just keep eating them!!

The three-piece set comes in train packaging, so little kids can even play with it after eating!!

Store Information for R.L

It’s on the 1st floor of the Hankyu Department Store in Gardens.

Here it is on the map ↓

Final Thoughts

I went looking for a Nishinomiya-exclusive item, but when I thought about it, it seems like these are sold in Kobe, Osaka, and even Kyoto too Sorry (^_^;) I just assumed Hankyu Railway meant it was a Nishinomiya thing…

But R.L did have its headquarters in Sanjocho, Nishinomiya from 2005 to 2011!! That makes me feel a bit closer to them, though they’re based in Kobe now!

When I saw this product, I immediately thought of my Hankyu Railway-loving friend, so I’m going to give it as a gift when they come back home (*^^)v

Their fresh waffle cakes are delicious too, but I also recommend these since they keep longer ヽ(^o^)丿
