“芦屋ハートかすてら” is a baby castella specialty shop that has mainly operated pop-up stalls at department stores and other venues. It is known for its adorable heart-shaped treats stamped with messages and their fluffy texture, even after some time has passed.
To celebrate the opening, the shop will reportedly hold a sale for two days—today, Thursday, October 1, and tomorrow, Friday, October 2—with its plain baby castella available for half price〜 (Only the plain variety will be sold during these two days.)

What’s around “芦屋ハートかすてら”
↑ Heading this way (north), “ヘアーサロンツカハラ” is next door. Farther ahead are “お食事処 三栄,” “柚子商店,” and “放課後デイサービスKID ACADEMY芦屋校,” before reaching National Route 43.
↑ In the opposite direction (south), you’ll find the café “ヌックヌーク” and “花岡歯科医院,” with “あしや浜薬局” at the end of the street.
The “芦屋ハートかすてら” menu
↑ This is what the menu is expected to look like after the opening sale—when only the plain variety will be available—ends. In addition to flavored baby castella, chocolate-coated baby castella, coffee, and lemonade, the shop will also serve “cascara,” a fruity drink made from coffee cherries〜
↑ There also appears to be a “¥100 Challenge” for elementary school children and younger: they receive four castella pieces, plus one more if they win at rock-paper-scissors. That’s a fun treat for kids〜

Lastly
Heart-shaped baby castella stamped with messages look adorable and seem perfect as a small gift〜 The opening sale, with plain baby castella at half price, ends tomorrow, so if you’re interested, don’t wait too long. The sale will reportedly end once everything is sold out, so it may be best to visit earlier in the day.
