LOPIA general manager Sui Yuanjun pointed out that the biggest difference between LOPIA PREMIO and ordinary LOPIA is that it not only continues LOPIA's insistence on the quality of ingredients, but also extends to the "complete table experience", ranging from top-quality ingredients, freshly made dishes, baked desserts to professional wines. If distinguished by price, the proportion of high-end, general and cheap food in LOPIA is about 20:60:20, while the proportion of high-end food in LOPIA PREMIO is increased to 40%, general 50% and cheap 10%.
On the first day of the opening today, the queue stretched hundreds of meters. They picked up Japan's top-quality "Yonezawa beef" and put it into the basket without mercy. Hanshin Department Store also launched a limited-edition gift in response to the Mid-Autumn Festival, and planned a raffle event to have the opportunity to take home the Kuroge Wagyu beef grilling set.
