This Week’s Summary
This week, the renovation work at Michelbach drew a lot of attention. Since it’s a famous shop, it seems to have attracted interest from people outside Nishinomiya as well. It opens from Saturday the 28th.
The second most-viewed article was about the Nishinomiya City Wholesale Market, looking at its past and present. Since it is set to be redeveloped, we introduced its current appearance through photos and wrote about the market’s efforts in a way that hopefully didn’t feel too stiff.
In third place was the article about Naniwa Kushiya on the 4th floor of Gardens. As a buffet-style kushikatsu restaurant, Daa @ Nishitsu 
ate quite a lot of skewers there. I imagine many people found it useful for seeing what kinds of kushikatsu they offer.
After last week’s request for tips, we received as many as 7 submissions! Unfortunately, 1 of them could not be published due to circumstances on the shop’s side <m(__)m>
Please continue to feel free to send us information if you notice anything changing in Nishinomiya, such as shops opening or closing, or Nishinomiya appearing on TV <m(__)m>
