It looks like the tempura specialty restaurant “Ashiya Tengayu” on Kurakuen-guchi-dori in Kikutani-cho is closing.
(This information was provided by Wanko-san.)
It will reportedly close as of Wednesday, April 30.
They said they tried to go there for lunch today, the 29th, and found a notice posted saying it had closed.
They also sent a message saying, “I used to go there from time to time, so it’s a shame.”
Here it is on the map↓
The address is Nakayama Building 1F, 13-21 Kikutani-cho, Nishinomiya, Hyogo.
Area around “Ashiya Tengayu Kurakuen Branch”
If you go this way, you’ll find Takoyaki Ahoya, Cafe ROOTS, Udon Icchiku, Amashin, Hinoike Park, and more.
If you go in the opposite direction, you’ll pass places like Ueshima Coffee House and head toward the area in front of Kurakuen-guchi Station.
“芦屋 天がゆ 苦楽園店” was also visited in the past by Yajikita-san. The article is → here
Finally
According to reviews, it was the kind of place where you could sit at the counter and have tempura fried right in front of you, with thoughtful advice on how to eat it and even a finishing bowl of rice porridge that reflected the shop’s warm hospitality. Among the menu items, the “Momono Kondate,” which came with 10 pieces of tempura and rice porridge, was apparently a popular lunch known for its great value. It’s sad to see the Kurakuen branch close, but it’s a little reassuring to know there are still locations such as the Gardens branch, the main shop in Ashiya, and LUCUA Osaka.
