It looks like a crepe specialty shop called “QwanQwan” is opening in Nishida-cho under the Hankyu elevated tracks.

We previously reported that the shop would open in Murogawa-cho, but it looks like the location has changed, and it will now open under the Hankyu elevated tracks in Nishida-cho!
The opening date is scheduled for early July.
Here’s the posted notice↓
Opening in mid-June.
Until the shop opens, they’re currently doing a pop-up operation at “Nakakin,” a bento shop along the Shiyakusho-mae Line🙌
In February, they’ll be open for two more days: Thursday the 20th and Friday the 21st, from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.!
Here’s where Nakakin is located↓
This is where “QwanQwan” will be↓
The address is 1-7 Nishida-cho, Nishinomiya City, Hyogo Prefecture. This is the former location of the baked sweets specialty shop “Kyo no Oyatsu.”

Originally an “Icing Cookie Shop”
They also have an official Instagram account↓

They say their crepes let you enjoy both a crispy and chewy texture at the same time😍 “Crispy” in a crepe is pretty unusual, right? Now I’m curious♪
Apparently, the batter uses premium Calpis Butter.
There are three types of crepes↓
- Butter Sugar Crepe
- Butter Chocolate Crepe
- Butter Cinnamon Crepe
Each is 500 yen. Whipped cream topping is 100 yen.
It also says they were selling cookies before Valentine’s Day🍪

Looking at their Instagram, it seems the owner originally ran an icing cookie shop, and there are lots of photos of incredibly cute and lovely cookies😍
I wonder if the new shop will also have cookie products lined up. I’m curious😊
Final Thoughts
Looking on Google Maps, it seems there weren’t many crepe shops in this area, so this is good news for people nearby♪ The opening is still a little ways off in mid-June, but if you’re thinking, “I’m too curious to wait!” they’ll apparently be selling at “Nakakin” on the 20th and 21st, so why not stop by?😄 More and more shops are opening under the Hankyu elevated tracks, and the area looks set to get even livelier.
