Gup Shup Is Now Shokupan

Shokupan is our thing. We bake fresh Japanese Shokupan bread daily, which creates cheesy sando toasties (hotties) featuring the iconic Hot Pepper Chicken Hottie and authentic Japanese Sandos, including Chicken Katsu.

We’ve also upped the Shokupan game with Detroit Steel Pan Style Pizza. Once you eat Shokupan you never go back.Trust.

Birmingham, UK

The Beginning

2019

From three men, a table and an idea, to the hottest lunchtime ticket in the business district of Birmingham, to one of the premier retail centres in the UK right above one of the nation’s busiest train stations, New Street. We’ve come along way baby. Shokupan is a game changer, a flavour changer and a foodie experience that you just have to try.

A New Challenge

2023 and Beyond

From small Shokupan beginnings to big Shokupan plans. We believe everyone should know the difference between ‘normal’ bread and Shokupan. Light, fluffy and sweet by its nature is on its own, delicious, then we start layering in our fillings; this equals flavour magic. It really is unbelievable, the foodie alchemy transforms an already delicious offering into the best tasting sandos you will ever eat.

And this is what we want to bring to the rest of the country. We don’t make bites to eat, we offer hard working people a proper lunchtime meal. We don’t just feed you, we nourish you.
