01 / ABOUT THE PLACE

About this place

One diner described the mapo aubergine at Pakupaku, an izakaya in Showacho, Abeno Ward, as “spicy, and the kind of dish that makes you want rice”. The menu has plenty to catch the eye whether you’re after a few dishes to enjoy with a drink or a more substantial evening meal.

That same meal included fried squid rings, agedashi tofu and spinach with sesame dressing. Pair a rice-friendly dish such as mapo aubergine with something fried, a tofu dish or a small side, and there’s room to build a combination to suit your tastes. Another standout is the crispy noodles with sauce, described on the menu as “our most popular item no. 1”. The selection ranges from quick snacks to grilled dishes, including negima, grilled salted chicken wings and grilled hokke.

Pakupaku in Showacho 1-chome has table seating and accepts reservations. Payment is cash only, so it’s worth bringing cash when you visit.
