Welcome to “Ashikon,” a corner where readers and Instagrammers share things like “Here’s what I did in Ashiya!” and we turn them into articles. (The name is Ashikon, but it has absolutely nothing to do with matchmaking or anything like that.)
Instagrammer kuma307 sent us photos from “食堂きふね,” located a 5-minute walk from Hanshin Ashiya Station♪
Here’s the map↓
The address is Bell Amie Ashiya 1F, 11-5 Chayanomachi, Ashiya City, Hyogo Prefecture♪
“食堂きふね”’s “Whole Fried Chicken Thigh”
↑One of their specialties, Kifune-tucky. A whole fried chicken thigh.
“食堂 きふね” is famous for every dish being delicious!
Among the course dishes, one of their specialties is “Kifune-tucky!”
The dish itself is a whole fried chicken thigh, but it’s no ordinary fried chicken thigh…
Once you try it, you’ll be hooked.
The skin has a crisp, crackly texture, while the chicken thigh inside is packed with juiciness.
It’s not too oily, but not too light either. You can enjoy it with a texture that feels almost rare, even though it isn’t rare.
“食堂きふね”’s “Kifune Fried Chicken”
↑Another specialty, “Kifune Fried Chicken”
Kifune’s fried chicken is known for being perfectly round! Since it’s soy sauce-based, the aroma is wonderfully savory!!
The more you chew, the more delicious fat spreads through your mouth～
They apparently use Awaji chicken from Awaji Island, the owner’s hometown.
With a good kick of black pepper, this slightly spicy, grown-up flavor makes it impossible not to keep drinking ( ;∀;)!
A Variety of Small Dishes at “食堂きふね”

Of course, it’s not just fried chicken dishes. There were plenty of small dishes like the ones in the photo!
Many of the ingredients come from Awaji Island, which gives you a warm sense of love for the owner’s hometown…
Each dish is carefully and beautifully prepared right in front of you, so even just sitting at the counter and watching will definitely make you excited to eat～
“食堂きふね”’s “Serious Kake Soba”
↑The “Serious Kake Soba” to finish the meal
You can tell from the name that this is one dish that absolutely won’t disappoint. And of course, it lives up to expectations. Actually, it exceeds them.
The soup is apparently made with plenty of rich flavor extracted from Awaji chicken bones.
It’s packed with deep chicken umami, making it the kind of soup you can’t help but drink down to the last drop.
The noodles are a little firm, pairing perfectly with the soup, and you just can’t stop eating!!!!
It’s almost too perfect as a final dish after drinks.
