A section introducing vending machines in Nishinomiya that make you do a double take: “Vending Machines of Nishinomiya”
This is a 50-yen vending machine we found in Nishihatocho, near Omaehama.
Here it is↓
They’re lined up side by side like friendly siblings.
Here’s the lineup in the vending machine on the left↓
Small cans of coffee and Kocha Hime are 50 yen. The small one is 60 yen, but it’s Gogo Tea.
Here’s the lineup in the vending machine on the right↓
This one also has the same 50-yen items: small cans of coffee and Kocha Hime.
There’s quite a bit of overlap with the products we introduced in No. 1. Maybe they can buy them cheaply.
A few unusual picks
First, this↓
Peach Squash, 80 yen.
It says it uses white peaches from Spain! Though Spanish white peaches don’t seem all that famous.
This one definitely has us curious.
Next, this↓
White grape with nata de coco bits.
Nata de coco had its moment at some point, didn’t it? It’s labeled as a “new texture!” These days it’s all about tapioca.
If you’ve been wanting to eat nata de coco again after all this time, this is for you. And of course, if you’re from a generation that doesn’t know it, give it a try too.
Next up is this↓
Pudding Shake, 80 yen.
It’s a shake. A jiggly one. Apparently they’ve applied for a patent for its “two-layer jelly manufacturing method.”
I wonder if it’s really sweet. I’m not great with that kind of thing.
We actually saw quite a few people from the neighborhood buying drinks from this vending machine.
It really must come in handy.
It’s going to get hot from here on, so if you’re heading to Omaehama, this vending machine would be a good one to use. The water that looks like it’s 500 ml is only 60 yen, too.
