About
Shoryu Soho sits at the heart of London's late-night dining scene on Denman Street, just off Piccadilly Circus, and is the flagship expression of founder Tak Tokumine's deep connection to Fukuoka's drinking and eating culture. The bar stocks over 130 sake, shochu and umeshu labels — the broadest Japanese spirits selection in the UK — expertly curated to pair with executive chef Kanji Furukawa's 12-hour Hakata tonkotsu broth. A subterranean private dining room accommodates up to 16 guests, making it a popular choice for celebrations and corporate events. As with all Shoryu sites, the ramen recipe traces directly to the Hakata district of Fukuoka, where Tokumine was born and where the brand's Japanese roots remain firm.
