This week and next week, leading up to the “Hansai Bar & Marche” on the 21st, we’ll be focusing on introducing shops around Hanshin Nishinomiya Station.
This time, we’re introducing “だしの店 つみ木,” located across from Nishinomiya Shrine.
As a shop specializing in dashi, they’re said to be particular about their soup stock.
Also, the head chef, Mr. Kanayama, currently serves as the chairman of the Nishinomiya Chuo Shopping Street Promotion Association, and he’s also playing a leading role in organizing the upcoming bar event.
So, what kind of place is it?

“だしの店 つみ木” Cuisine
I decided to order the “Tsumiki no Tamatebako” (2,000 yen), which lets you enjoy a little bit of many different dishes.
This is the appetizer.
It’s a simmered assortment of vegetables.
Next is a soup dish. Today it’s a clear soup with shrimp shinjo.
As expected, the flavor of the dashi was outstanding.
Rice and pickles.
You can get free refills of rice.
Now, here’s the main attraction: the “Tamatebako.”
There’s a lot inside, just as you’d expect from a tamatebako treasure box.
It includes salt-grilled chicken, Japanese ivory shell, yuba, namasu, gratin, Saikyo-yaki Spanish mackerel, and chirimen sansho.
Grilling chicken and fish well is genuinely difficult, but both had beautifully crisp, fragrant skin while the meat stayed moist and tender. They were really delicious.
The namasu and chirimen sansho also go very well with rice.
You can also buy the chirimen sansho at the shop.
The gratin had a fairly strong cheese flavor, which was just the way I like it.
It had been a while since I last ate yuba, but yuba at a Japanese restaurant really is delicious.
Since the sign says “dashi shop,” I was looking forward to the dashi, but of course the other dishes were also excellent.
They also have a good selection of alcohol, so next time I’d like to visit when I can enjoy a drink.
“だしの店 つみ木” Menu
This is the lunch menu.
Their specialty “dashimaki” can also be ordered during lunchtime.
They also have a great selection of course meals.
Some menu items give priority to reservations, so please keep that in mind.
Inside “だしの店 つみ木”
There are table seats like these lined up.
There are also more seats toward the back.
These are horigotatsu-style seats.
Overall, it has the atmosphere of a calm Japanese restaurant.
It’s not especially casual, but it’s not intimidatingly formal either.
Personally, I found it just the right level of comfortable.
Exterior of “だしの店 つみ木”
This is the exterior of the shop.
It’s located on the east side of Ebessan.
The large sign is the landmark.
