(※Added on March 10, 2025) We regret to inform you that "Drive-In Marufuku" closed on February 26, 2025. It was a wonderful restaurant, so we will leave this article up as is to preserve the atmosphere of the restaurant at the time. Thank you very much for your hard work in business for so long.

You can enjoy the delicious, nostalgic Neapolitan at Marufuku Drive-in, a long-established drive-in establishment founded in 1969, located on the seafront just after entering Yoichi Town from Otaru via National Route 5.

Elegant classical music plays inside the store, and the nostalgic lighting, grandfather clocks, and velour sofas welcome you into the atmosphere of the past.

The popular menu item at Drive-In Marufuku is the nostalgic "Neapolitan". After you have eaten the salad that comes with the set, it will arrive sizzling on a hot iron plate. Spaghetti with plenty of ketchup, red sausages and mushrooms - this is the Showa era Neapolitan.

The taste is ketchup-flavored, just as it looks, but the sourness of the tomatoes gives it a rich flavor, and it's not too salty, so it's elegant. The thick pasta is well-mixed with the sauce, so you won't get bored of eating it all.

Marufuku's Neapolitan also comes in a variety of versions, including "Fried Shrimp Neapolitan" topped with crispy fried shrimp, and "Hamburger Neapolitan". Both the fried shrimp and the hamburger are of a generous size!

Furthermore, for those who can't decide between curry rice and Neapolitan, we have the "Big Combo" which combines the two dishes. The curry rice has a slightly spicy adult taste.

Another dish you should definitely try is "Torimen." Thin somen noodles stuffed with chicken, kamaboko, and spinach. The simple, gentle flavor will fill your stomach and your heart with happiness. The noodles are thin and easy to eat, so it's recommended for children and the elderly.

There are many other dishes on the menu, including fish set meals, zangi set meals, and parfaits for dessert after meals! Please enjoy the variety of dishes on the menu.

One of the reasons many people visit the restaurant is to enjoy the view from inside. You can see Cape Shiripa, which juts out from Yoichi Bay and is the symbol of Yoichi. There are also raised seating areas, so it is safe for families with children.

The sound of the waves is soothing, and you'll want to watch them until the sun goes down. The tranquil seascape has always provided peace of mind to travelers, both in the past and now.

If you go around the summer solstice, you might be able to see the rare phenomenon unique to Yoichi, the "twice-setting sun," in which the sun sets over Cape Shiripa, then rises above the horizon and sinks into the sea.

Next time you take a break from driving, why not stop by Marufuku Drive-In, which has a retro Showa-era atmosphere, and relax with some delicious food and the serene ocean views?
