The shutters have remained closed at the bagel specialty shop “Bagels!” near Nigawa Station.
(Information provided by Anzu @ Nishi2 SP)
We’ve received new information, so we’re reposting this article.
Looking at the store information on Bagels!’ official website, the listing for this Nigawa shop has disappeared, along with the former Umeda, Aeon Mall Kobe Kita, and Shikoku sister stores. (Archived page from that time)
The official website name has now changed from “Bagels!” to “Bagel&Coppe,” and the previous Instagram account is also gone. It’s unclear whether the two are related. By the way, Bagel&Coppe products are apparently also sold on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Sundays at the main shop in front of Sandahonmachi Station on the Kobe Electric Railway Sanda Line, as well as inside the Yamada Store North Kobe branch that opened this year in Kobe’s Kita Ward🥯
Here it is on the map↓
The address is 1F, Sarara Nigawa South Building, 2-7-1 Nigawakita, Takarazuka City, Hyogo Prefecture.

Finally
After opening in April 2023, it quickly became a much-talked-about shop with lines forming outside, and Nishi2 also featured it in a gourmet article. We were unable to find any clear official information about the Nigawa shop.
We received information that Bagels! and Bagel&Coppe are separate companies, so we have revised part of the article🙏
Update 8/15
We received the latest information from Yoshipy.
While traveling, they stopped by a roadside station in Tanba.
“Bagels!”?
Since the male staff member who had been at the Nigawa shop was selling there, I asked what had happened to the Nigawa shop, and he said it closed in February.
It seems that although the shop reopened after last summer’s temporary closure due to air-conditioning issues, customer traffic did not return.
For now, they plan to sell products made at their Tamba-Sasayama factory at pop-up locations in various places.
They may be selling in different spots around the Tanba area. Above all, we’re glad to know they’re still around.
※Anzu @ Nishi2 SP, thank you for the information!!
