Scenes from the First Day of “ほのかマルシェ” Renewal Soft Opening

↑There were great deals on fruits and vegetables, like whole heads of napa cabbage for 160 yen and carrots for 50 yen each.

↑Inside the store, in addition to produce, they were selling A4 and A5 grade Kyushu Kuroge Wagyu beef, popular Costco items, and, under the name “芦屋ソウルキッチン”, takeout Korean dishes prepared in-store!

Final Thoughts
With its renewal, “ほのかマルシェ” has become a shop packed with plenty of things to check out. Since it’s still in its soft opening phase, it looks like their product lineup will keep getting even better!
