It looks like “Kochi Specialty Sunday Market Imoten” is opening along Hongo Nakasuji in Naruocho.
(Info provided by Sasako @ Nishi2 SP)
Here it is↓

It says “Kochi Specialty Sunday Market Imoten Ohira Shoten.” It also says “SUNDAY MARKET.”
Here’s the location on the map↓
The address is 1-24-20 Naruocho, Nishinomiya City, Hyogo Prefecture.

There used to be a Naruton sign here, and before that it was Ajimudori.

Actually, Naruton was supposed to be featured in an article on Nishi2.


This is sauce katsudon.

And this was the phantom Naruo tonkatsu shop “Naruton.” For various reasons, it ended up not being able to open.
Anyway.
Let’s get back to “Kochi Specialty Sunday Market Imoten.”

Apparently, it was also featured on Himitsu no Kenmin SHOW Kiwami.
Finally
At the moment, we don’t know any details at all, such as when it will open. All we know so far is that “a sign has gone up,” so if we find out the opening date or other details later, we’ll write about it.
About the Opening Date
This shop will generally be a production base, so over-the-counter sales days will be irregular.
Sales days will be announced on X(Twitter) and their official LINE, so it’s worth keeping an eye on. If Nishi2 confirms a sales day, we may write an article about it too.
*Sasako @@ Nishi2 SP, thank you for the information!!
