It looks like banana juice specialty shop “Ashiya Banana” opened on July 22 along Wright Slope in Yamatecho, next to Ashiya Municipal Yamate Elementary School!

↑ It’s not shown in the photo, but “Yamate Elementary School” is on the right as you face this direction.
According to the official website, they use “carefully selected top-quality bananas and premium milk” to serve “the ultimate banana juice, perfected through repeated research and improvements based on experience at a fresh juice shop.”

The address is 8-16 Yamatecho, Ashiya City, Hyogo Prefecture.

Final thoughts
Banana juice specialty shops are still rare in Ashiya, but it seems there are a few in Sannomiya and Amagasaki.
