Supermarket “F.F. MARCHE Ashiya”, located along National Route 2 on the north side of Uchide Station, next to McDonald’s, is having its pre-opening starting today! (Grand opening is tomorrow.)
↑The storefront. The calm purple color, which somehow feels a bit like a Hankyu train, gives it a classy look!
Here’s the map↓
The address is 8-1 Kasugacho, Ashiya City, Hyogo Prefecture.
There were tons of TV cameras
Since this is a new format operated by the same company as the famously low-priced “Super Tamade”, there were lots of TV cameras here today for coverage!
↑So many cameras even before opening!
↑Someone important from Tamade? surrounded by cameras!
↑I tried to listen in too, but I was too far away to hear anything… too bad!
Inside “F.F. MARCHE Ashiya”
↑Straight inside with Hii-chan from “Nishinomiya Tsushin”! (This time we’re covering it jointly with Nishitsu!)
↑Right as you enter, there’s a produce section! Very marché-like!
↑The featured item of the day was “Amaou strawberries from Fukuoka” for 321 yen per pack, tax included!
↑These big “Amaou” strawberries at this price are a great deal!
↑In the fresh fish section, they had “fresh Takashima bluefin tuna from Nagasaki” lined up!
↑There’s a fresh tuna head on display! Whoa!
↑The meat section also has high-end items like Kuroge Wagyu and Kobe beef at bargain prices!
↑They also had some incredibly cheap items, such as “yakisoba noodles” at 84 yen for 3 packs, tax included, and “Otokomae Tofu Tokuno Ken-chan” at 62 yen for a 3-pack set, tax included! (Looks like they’re matching prices with the nearby D*iei…!)
↑They also have original bento and prepared dishes lined up!
↑There were some fancy-looking drinks in the alcohol section too!
↑The bread section has all kinds of brands, including “Narutoya,” “Maruberry Kobo,” “A-1 BAKERY,” and “Como Pan.”
↑There’s already this much just on the first floor, and there’s even more sales space on the second floor!
↑On the second floor, you’ll find seasonings, dried foods, jarred foods, and more. Tonkatsu sauce for 105 yen, tax included!
↑Pet food and daily necessities like toilet paper are also on the second floor.
↑The frozen foods section is on the second floor too!
