About this place
Some diners say the sight of the set meals arriving at Fuku Shokudo helped them decide on the tonpeiyaki. It comes generously filled with cabbage, bean sprouts and pork, and one visitor noted the cabbage’s sweetness. Several small side dishes accompany the set meal, with ponzu sauce recommended as an addition. It is a good option for a meal where the accompaniments are as much a part of the appeal as the main dish.
Visitors who switched their soup to kasujiru described a generous helping of ingredients and a slightly sweet flavour. The sake lees came through clearly without being overpowering. One diner paired the soup with a ginger-fried pork set meal and reported that it had more onion than meat, but was well seasoned and went down well with rice. The set-meal format brings together rice, a main dish, small sides and soup.
The menu also includes fish set meals, alongside fried foods and meat dishes. A visitor who ordered the simmered sardine set meal said it came with five small sardines and four side dishes, including simmered vegetables, chilled tofu and vinegared daikon. It is a choice for diners who want fish at the centre of the meal, with several other flavours on the table.
Set meals are available for both lunch and dinner, and there are smaller à la carte dishes such as agedashi tofu and doteyaki. The menu suits a substantial lunch, or an evening meal of small plates with beer.
Some visitors have reported sharing a table at lunchtime. Several also noted that smoking is permitted, so anyone concerned about this may wish to check before visiting.
