It looks like three new shops from Ashiya will be opening at LIV, the shopping mall directly connected to JR Sumiyoshi Station in neighboring Higashinada Ward, Kobe〜
Quoted from the press release
“LIV” is currently undergoing renovation work and is scheduled to reopen around late April this year. After the renewal, 21 new shops will open, and three of them are shops that originated in Ashiya!

In the west area on the 2nd floor, which will become the dining zone, “Sakutto Takezono,” a new concept from the butcher shop “Ashiya Takezono,” and “MAGASIN DE PATES LA GOULUE ASHIYA,” a fresh pasta specialty shop and new concept from Ashiya Sakai Co., Ltd., will open.

In the east area on the 2nd floor, which will become the sweets zone, “MAISON DU RUBAN PATISSERIE AKAINEKO,” a new concept from “PATISSERIE AKAINEKO,” also operated by Ashiya Sakai Co., Ltd., will open.

↑This is what the cakes look like at the main “PATISSERIE AKAINEKO” shop near JR Ashiya Station. We’re curious to see what kinds of sweets we’ll be able to enjoy at the new concept shop〜!

In closing
It’s exciting to think that Ashiya flavors will now be enjoyed in neighboring Higashinada Ward, Kobe, and reach even more people〜. On top of that, Takezono is also planning to open its affiliated “Magnet Cafe” in Umeda in March, so it looks like Ashiya quality will be spreading more and more throughout the Kansai area this year!
