Welcome to “This Week in Nishinomiya,” where we look back at the Nishinomiya openings, closings, and hot topics featured this week (12/14–12/20) on “Nishitsu (Nishinomiya Tsushin)”!There’s also this week’s Shachobi corner at the very end〜
Food Theme Park “LOPIA”

On opening day, Shachobi went inside to check out the sales floor〜!

These kinds of things are made by LOPIA staff too, aren’t they? They’ve got character〜

It’s also nice that they sell kimchi from a shop in Tsuruhashi〜.

This cheese is super rich. As it says, it contains 69% cream cheese, so if you love cheese, this is definitely recommended.
Here’s the report↓
We’ll also include all kinds of LOPIA things that were too much to fit into the article in the Shachobi section at the very bottom of this article.
Marunaka → Daiei → AEON STYLE
Supermarkets in Imazu are heating up! By the way, we also know that Drugstore Cosmos is coming to the former Yamaya site in Shamae-cho〜😄

This Week’s Shachobi
I wanted to buy LOPIA’s takoyaki〜

The LOPIA takoyaki they were selling when we covered LOPIA the other day. Nishitsu’s main work is basically either reporting on things or writing articles, and takoyaki you can snack on while writing really comes in handy〜

Apparently, if you cook them on a hot plate like this, the bottom gets nice and crispy.
The contents and prices of the products introduced below vary by store. These are from the Nishinomiya Imazu store as of our 12/17 coverage. Also, the prices written in the article include tax〜
