↑The owners have reportedly made a fresh start with a new concept, transforming their former seafood takeout shop in Minamihama-cho, “海鮮kitchenくぅ,” into this new restaurant. It operates as a creative dining restaurant at lunchtime and a casual bar at night.

↑The exterior of “創作Diningくう Casual Barだい.” This is where “とんかつひぐち” used to be.

↑The lunchtime menu from opening day. It looks like you can enjoy plate lunches, pasta lunches, lunch sets featuring Japanese fried chicken, à la carte dishes, and more.

Here’s the map↓

The address is 1F Nishizaki Building, 5-8 Maeda-cho, Ashiya, Hyogo.

What’s Around “創作Diningくう Casual Barだい”

↑The restaurant is on the north side of National Route 2. The flower shop “花鏡園” is immediately to the left when facing it, while the okonomiyaki and teppan bar “塩梅（あんばい）” is on the right.

↑Head this way (east), and you’ll find the eel and sushi restaurant “戎家,” the photography studio “ハナヤ勘兵衛,” and more.

↑Head the other way (west), toward Kobe, and you’ll find the car dealership “LOTUS 神戸,” the ramen restaurant “げんこつ 芦屋店,” and more.

↑This is the view across the street. On the corner diagonally opposite is “やまとラーメン香雲堂 芦屋店”.

Final Thoughts

The former shop was takeout-only, so it’s great that customers can now enjoy lunch and drinks while dining in! They’ll apparently continue offering takeout dishes and hors d’oeuvre platters just as before, which could make them a nice option for celebratory meals over the New Year holidays.
