I went to check out Co-op Kitaguchi Shokusai-kan, which became the second Co-op store in Nishinomiya to get a full renovation～(*^^)v
The whole image of Co-op has changed in a really nice wayヽ(^o^)丿
It’s bright and stylish～😍😍😍
There were so many new discoveries that I didn’t even know where to start,
so I’ll introduce them as my personal “wow” points＼(^o^)／
Wow Point ① Fresh vegetables from Nishinomiya and Hyogo Prefecture are lined up!
Right in the middle is “Local Nishinomiya produce”, true local production for local consumption(^^ゞ That means amazing freshness～
These vegetables are from Shoe Farm in Araki-choヽ(^o^)丿
Wow Point ② The FROZEN DELI section is packed!
The display monitors show all kinds of information＼(^o^)／The three monitors in a row keep changing one after another
Just heat it up and you can eat it right away! There are so many items with perfect plating! They even have maki sushi～ヽ(^o^)丿
The lineup was seriously impressive～＼(^o^)／
It totally satisfies that “I want to eat as soon as I get home!” feeling for people living alone or dual-income households💖
Even the decorations above are casually stylish～😍
Wow Point ③ Amazing fish are lined up!
The selection is best in the morning!
Of course, they’ll prepare the fish for you!
There are lots of crabs～ too!! Makes you want to eat them in the coming season😍
This is Co-op’s second “Rasshai Sushi”＼(^o^)／
They make sushi with today’s recommended wild fish and more right here!
Wow Point ④ The limited-quantity heartfelt omusubi are amazing!
A first for Co-op! And of course, a first in Nishinomiya! The “heartfelt omusubi” looked incredibly delicious,
and the “Omusubi DE Nori Bento” was the last limited-quantity one left!
Of course I had to buy itヽ(^o^)丿I’ll cover it later in a gourmet article!
They also have a great selection of other prepared dishesヽ(^o^)丿
Wow Point ⑤ There’s a huge Cookpad monitor
Celebrities introduce recipes in 3-minute videos＼(^o^)／
The ingredients are all right in front of you too, so this is a big help when you’re wondering what to make for dinner tonight!!
Only two Co-op stores have this!
In Closing
It really felt like the store had been reborn＼(^o^)／
The selection has grown a ton, and there were so many things that made me think, “I want to eat that!”
The wine section in particular has everything from organic to domestic wines, with affordable options as well as bottles for slightly special occasions, so you’re sure to find something you like(*^^)v
Because the product shelves are taller now, the aisles feel wider, and the tables where you pack your groceries into your own bags after shopping are lower. There are thoughtful touches all over the store!
They say seeing is believing, so please go check it out for yourself＼(^o^)／
Actually, the 2nd and 3rd floors have been combined, and that area is looking great too, so I’ll introduce it in Part 2!
