The shop will reportedly be open for a limited four-year run and is operated by SICILIAMO, a specialty Sicilian confectionery with a workshop in Sakai, Osaka Prefecture.

It plans to mainly sell baked sweets, with certain days set aside for selling “cannoli,” tube-shaped pastries filled with cream〜

↑ The exterior of the former Miyazuka Municipal Housing building. Built in 1953, it is said to be a very rare stone structure for municipal housing.

↑ The shop’s name was already on the sign. “SICILAMO LA CASA” is scheduled to open in Unit 2 on the first floor.

Here’s the map↓

The address is Unit 2, 12-24 Miyazuka-cho, Ashiya, Hyogo Prefecture.

Around “SICILAMO LA CASA”

↑ It is on the first floor of a stone building about a seven-minute walk south of JR Ashiya Station. “Tea Saloon MUSICA” and other businesses are also located in the same building.

↑ Heading this way (north), you’ll pass “Cut Space Torii,” the Ashiya City Silver Human Resources Center, Ashiya Miyazuka Post Office, and “Ashiya Yakitori Genya” before reaching National Route 2.

↑ Heading in the opposite direction (south), you’ll pass “Haguruma Dental Clinic,” “Metzgerei Kusuda Ashiya,” and Miyazuka Park before reaching the Naruo-Mikage Line.

↑ Across the street is the “States Ashiya Primary Court” condominium building.

Final Thoughts

A Sicilian sweets shop in a retro stone building—what a stylish combination〜 Since it will only be open for four years, anyone interested may want to stop by sooner rather than later. We’re also curious to know which days cannoli will be available!
