It looks like the gyudon and udon chain “Nakau” is ending its 24-hour service and switching to 23-hour service.
Here it is↓

Quoted from Notice Regarding Changes to Business Hours|Nakau
Starting at 3:00 a.m. on Thursday, May 15, stores will close for 1 hour each day (3:00–4:00) for focused cleaning✨
The reason given is “to secure cleaning time in order to improve store standards.”

Its sister chain Sukiya also shifted to 23-hour service in April, so it feels like the whole group is getting aligned〜

The Nakau in Nishinomiya opened last December as the JR Nishinomiya Station North Exit branch. By the way, the “Nishinomiya Egamicho branch” along Route 171 closed last October, so this is effectively a relocation.
Here it is on the map↓
The address is Isada Building 1F, 2-23 Nishifuku-cho, Nishinomiya City.
In Closing
Nakau has been there to fill your stomach even in the middle of the night, but from now on, “3:00–4:00 is closed”, so keep that in mind! Together with fellow Zensho group chain Sukiya, plan your visits so you don’t end up stranded without a late-night meal.
