Near JR Ashiya Station, inside Arpa Ashiya along Ekimae-dori, the onigiri (omusubi) specialty shop “Omusubi Koron. Ashiya Store” opened on February 8!
↑ The grand opening flyer. Apparently, this is the first directly operated store by Sawada Foods Co., Ltd., which sells “fresh furikake” such as its “Ika Konbu”, a winner of the Furikake Grand Prix Gold Award.
As an opening commemorative gift, the first 560 customers using takeout or eat-in received a “Ika Konbu Mini Furikake”!
↑ The scene at “Omusubi Koron.” on opening day. We visited around lunchtime, and it was incredibly lively!
Here’s the map↓
The address is Arpa Ashiya Building 1, Unit 111, 1-25 Funadocho, Ashiya City, Hyogo Prefecture.
↑ We received the commemorative “Ika Konbu Mini Furikake” and a discount coupon for next time! Yay!
For eat-in, the system was to order and pay first at the register, then take a seat! It’s kind of nice not having to wait to pay when leaving. (But all the customers in the shop headed to the register on their way out to buy “fresh furikake”… once you eat it, you want to buy it. I totally get it!)
The Menu at “Omusubi Koron.”
↑ This is what the lunchtime eat-in menu looked like. There was the “Koron. Set Meal” with tonjiru pork miso soup, and the “Koron. Winter Set Meal” with kasujiru sake lees soup.
↑ Takeout menus were also being handed out! It looks like phone reservations are available too.
There also seemed to be a “breakfast” menu! A morning omusubi sounds like a great way to start the day with energy♪

Lastly
We used the eat-in area, and I was surprised to see that almost everyone leaving after their meal bought some “fresh furikake”! It really is hugely popular furikake.
We’re planning to share a report on actually trying the lunch set meal in “Ashitsu Gourmet” soon!
