01 / ABOUT THE PLACE

About this place

When late evenings call for unpretentious small plates and bowls of noodles, Shofuku in Minami-Gyotoku offers a welcome refuge. Open from 18:00 until 2:00 the following morning, it serves as a comfortable stop for everything from a post-work drink to an early-morning meal.

The menu features handmade pan-fried and boiled dumplings alongside affordable izakaya-style bites like fried chicken, shredded pressed tofu salad, and zha cai. Mainstays like mapo tofu seasoned with aromatic Sichuan pepper and Taiwanese fried rice noodles make it easy to mix and match several dishes across the table.

To finish, diners choose from an extensive roster of noodles, ranging from classic soy and miso ramen to dandan noodles, hot-and-sour vermicelli, and tsukemen dipping noodles. Rich broth bases and toppings like braised pork can be tailored to individual tastes.

A selection of draft beer, sours, and shochu complements the cooking. Payment is cash only, and the shop is closed on Sundays and Mondays.
