It looks like 芦屋茶屋, a takeout-only shop specializing in onigiri and shaved ice made with natural water, is planning to open sometime in July on Ashiya Hondori in Omasu-cho!

The address is 5-18 Omasu-cho, Ashiya City, Hyogo Prefecture (the former location of the banana juice specialty shop “Ashiya de Banana”).
Area Around “芦屋茶屋”
↑To the left when facing the shop is “江戸焼うなぎ 三佳.”
↑If you head this way (south), you’ll find places like the pizza restaurant “アクアチプレッソ.” After crossing Naruo Mikage Line, there’s “てこや 阪神芦屋駅前店,” and farther along is the elevated Hanshin Main Line.
↑If you go the other way (north), you’ll find “Caprice Cafe,” the donut specialty shop “AN●D あんでぃ,” “焼肉 あづま,” the Ashiya Health Center, and then you’ll reach National Route 2.
↑This is what it looks like across the street.
Lastly
It seems this will be a takeout shop where you can get carefully made onigiri and shaved ice using natural water. The interior and exterior decorations will also use natural wood, giving the place a warm, organic feel.
Mizuking, thank you for the tip!!
