This is the line for “Lopia,” which opened today, Tuesday, December 17, at 10:00.

*I added the latest information about the line at the bottom. 17:36
This was before 10:00. Traffic heading into the parking lot was a little backed up.
It felt like there were quite a few cars going up to the second floor from the first-floor parking area.
From the Joshin side. Looks like it’s open.
By the way, around 9:30↓

On the floor map, it’s here↓
Lopia is in area C on the second floor.
The area in front of the store is packed!
They were holding a prize drawing for new app registrations.
There were so many prizes, like rice oil and biscuits!!
The Joshin side is the exit, so that’s why there aren’t many people there.
Oh!! Customers are already inside. It says “cash only.”
Those are the carts that need a 100-yen coin!
The entrance is this way.
The end of the line is in the parking lot? No way.
Wait, isn’t it overflowing with people??
This is a huge situation!
The line was winding around like at Universal Studios Japan.
About half of the second-floor parking lot had been turned into a dedicated line area.
Apparently, there were already this many people even just after 9:30. Provided by a reader.
The buna-shimeji mushrooms have arrived!
It’s no exaggeration to say this may be the biggest line in Nishitsu history.
The end of the line. I can’t even imagine how many hours the wait will be.
Maybe insulated bags with shopping vouchers.
There were three types, and they were effectively 100 yen, so they were selling like crazy. Looks like they’ll be sold tomorrow and the day after too.
They look like they can hold quite a lot, so these seem pretty nice.
Heading back inside…
Right after entering, there’s Sports Authority. It has reopened after renovation. I’m a member, by the way.
People just kept streaming in.
According to Fucchi, a Nishitsu supporter, there was no line in the parking lot around 16:00! It’s your chance! Though I don’t know about right now.
Items Fucchi bought↓
Looks like they got the popular pizza too.
Apparently the melt-in-your-mouth chocolat was really good. 109 yen each, or 299 yen for a set of three, prices before tax.
19:15↓
According to Nishitsu reader Peji, around 19:00 you could enter with almost no wait, but it was packed inside. There were lots of samples too! However, the day’s supply of Lopia eco bags had sold out, and the prize drawing had already ended.
Hope this helps anyone planning to go on the 18th or 19th!
We’re also planning to report from inside the store later, so stay tuned!
