There are lots of shops inside Nishinomiya-kitaguchi Station ＼(^o^)／
From among those shops, we picked out a main dish and dessert combo for takeout, based entirely on our own taste and bias!
This article is brought to you by “ALBOBBY,” a salon that supports Nishitsu.

Kakinoha Sushi Honpo “Tanaka” — “Kakinoha Sushi and Spring Norimaki Set”
Kakinoha Sushi and Spring Norimaki Set ¥620 (tax not included)Limited-time item available until March 25
Kakinoha sushi doesn’t exactly get you excited just by opening the lid, but…
Inside are the classics: mackerel, salmon, and mountain vegetables mixed with three kinds of greens and topped with chirimen sansho.
Once you peel back the persimmon leaf, that’s when it gets exciting (*^^)v
Each piece is wrapped individually in a persimmon leaf, so you can eat it even without chopsticks!
And apparently, persimmon leaves contain lots of vitamin C and tannins, giving them excellent antibacterial and antioxidant properties!
The spring norimaki is packed with seasonal ingredients like conger eel and nanohana rapeseed blossoms （*^_^*）
It had a rich, satisfying flavor too!
Shop Information
From the Hankyu Railway website
Kakinoha Sushi Honpo Tanaka, whose main shop is in Nara, only has two locations in Hyogo Prefecture: here and Kobe Hankyu!
It’s located on the northwest side of the floor with the Carillon Bell (*^^)v
Wagashi Shop “髙山堂” — “Sakura Mochi” and “Ichigo Daifuku”
Ichigo Daifuku ¥240 (tax not included) Sakura Mochi (red smooth bean paste) (white chunky bean paste) ¥160 (tax not included)
They’re adorably sized and, even better these days, individually wrapped (^^ゞMaybe it’s just me, butthey’re just the right size to eat three by myself ^^;.
Here’s the cross-section ＼(^o^)／
The ichigo daifuku had smooth mochi and sweet bean paste, with a refreshing burst from the strawberry!
The sakura mochi was so chewy you didn’t feel any graininess at all! The white one has chunky bean paste, which is unusual for sakura mochi (^^♪
Both fillings had an elegant sweetness! Yep, I could definitely eat three after all ^^;
Shop Information
From the Hankyu Railway website
髙山堂 is a wagashi shop whose main store is in Nishinomiya. Wagashi shops change their products more and more with each season!
The ichigo daifuku is only available during strawberry season, and the sakura mochi is a limited item for cherry blossom season～If you want to try them, hurry up (#^.^#)
It’s located on the west side of the floor with the Carillon Bell (^^)The receipt said “in front of Tully’s Coffee”!
Lastly
This time, everything we picked was seasonal and limited-time only! Maybe station gourmet items are better as souvenirs when there’s a bit of variety and change !(^^)!
There are still plenty more shops, so we’ll be back again with another main dish and dessert combo!
