Today, January 23 (Thu), the supermarket “OK” opened, and we got to take a look inside. Here’s what it was like.
It’s located in Ashiharacho along the Yamate Kansen road, where MaxValu used to be.
Here it is on the map↓
The address is 11-1-1 Ashiharacho, Nishinomiya, Hyogo Prefecture.
We’ll also tell you how you can get this special non-sale item.
Here’s what the sales floor looks like.
For the “prices” of the products we’re about to introduce, OK sets its prices in advance with rival stores’ sale prices in mind, aiming for prices that won’t lose to them. Since prices differ by store, we can’t list them here〜🙏But OK’s original products aren’t sold at competing stores, so we’re listing those prices. Hopefully that gives you a sense of how cheap they are.Listed prices are cash member prices
Okay, let’s go inside〜
The Bento and Deli Items Are Seriously Cheap
I’m the kind of person who buys bento and deli foods pretty often
Whoa! Isn’t that piled up a bit too much? lol
In other words, I was really curious about the bento section, so I’m going to show a lot of it.Sorry to anyone who wanted to see other stuff🙏
Pork Loin Cutlet Rice Bowl ¥322(tax included)
You’re probably thinking the portion must be small, right? But once you hold it, you can tell it’s hefty. I was honestly shocked. I almost wondered if there was a weight hidden inside. It uses domestically grown rice, too〜.Apparently, when we asked, they said 6.4 million servings are sold annually across all stores
Pork Loin Cutlet Rice Bowl ¥366(tax included)
This much hearty sauce cutlet at this price. Isn’t this like the arrival of a whole new contender?
Chinese Rice Bowl Packed with Vegetables ¥366(tax included)
Don’t you just get cravings every now and then for champon or chukadon! It’s also nice that the exact time it was made is written down to the minute!
THE Salmon Bento ¥473(tax included)
A thick piece of salmon, right there. This is another astaxanthin situation I’d want to eat regularly.
THE Shrimp Tempura Rice Bowl ¥573(tax included)
So there’s a “THE” series, huh. Kuruma prawn
Hearty Shrimp and Vegetable Tempura Rice Bowl Ah, I didn’t get the tax-included price🙏It’s ¥420 before tax
For those who want to eat some vegetables too
Grated Daikon Young Chicken Tatsuta Rice Bowl ¥322(tax included)
Tatsuta fried chicken with grated daikon is that thing where you want something rich, but also want to keep it light. It feels like a menu item that should exist at bento shops, but somehow doesn’t. And it’s cheap, too.
Unagi Mabushi ¥538(tax included)
At this price, even eel is something you could eat regularly. I like that it has mitsuba in it〜
Thick! Minced Cutlet and Mentaiko Bento ¥366(tax included)
There are so many items in the ¥300 range〜. Seriously, the variety is huge.
Salt Karaage, Egg, Nori and Mentaiko Bento ¥474(tax included)
The mentaiko looked like a sausage to me〜. Still, that’s a generous amount of fried chicken. There’s egg too.
Deluxe Modern-yaki ¥430(tax included)
This one. Apparently it sells really well at the Higashiosaka store, OK’s first store in Kansai.
I ended up buying it lol. It’s extra thick, so it feels like a mille-feuille of batter, egg, yakisoba, and more batter. I’ll be getting this again.
Tuna mayo for ¥62? Onigiri at convenience stores have gotten pretty expensive lately, so this is appreciated.
This is exactly the kind of thing you want! A basic yakisoba. It’s ¥204〜
Oh. They also had a grand opening celebration bento packed with shrimp tempura, sekihan red rice, shumai, and lots of other items. It’s on sale until the 24th (Fri)〜
They also have soy sauce-style karaage that won an award at the Karaage Grand Prix. You can get it for ¥157 per 100g until the 26th〜
But personally, this is what caught my eye! Beni shoga used in karaage. Isn’t that unusual?
It’s like beni shoga tempura and tasty karaage came together! I like this〜. Yep, I’ll be buying it again.
An unusually huge chicken cutlet. Of course it’s cheap. The PR representative who showed us around apparently buys this too, puts it on rice, and keeps coming back for it.
