↑ Head in the opposite direction (south), and you’ll pass Oohirume Shrine, Fukae Kaikan, and the 7-Eleven Kobe Fukaehonmachi 3-chome store before reaching National Route 43.
↑ Across the street is the fried-chicken specialty shop “Toriki (Tricky) Fukae.”
Final Thoughts
A search doesn’t turn up any other restaurants called “Isshaku Malatang,” so this might be its very first location. Malatang restaurants have been popping up around Kobe’s Motomachi area, but it’s still surprising to see one finally opening all the way out in Fukae!
