A taste of Asia on historic Slotsgade

Afthonia Store sits on Slotsgade, one of Nykøbing Falster’s central shopping streets, blending seamlessly into the low-rise facades and small independent businesses that give the town its relaxed, everyday charm. Step through the door and you move from Danish market-town calm into a world of imported flavors, where labels shift from Danish and German to Thai, Korean, Chinese and Vietnamese. The shop floor is modest in size, easy to navigate in a few slow circuits, yet every shelf feels carefully used. Aisles are lined with sacks of rice, different types of noodles and stacks of tinned, bottled and packeted goods that hint at kitchens far from Guldborgsund, while the hum of the fridge and freezer cabinets adds a quiet background note.

Shelves full of everyday staples and curiosities

Many visitors come with a clear mission: to find jasmine rice, sushi rice or large bottles of soy and fish sauce, or to stock up on coconut milk, curry pastes and sesame oil. Others drift between the aisles, drawn to brightly coloured snack packets, unusual soft drinks, or jars of pickles and condiments they have only seen in recipes. Freezers often hold dumplings, spring-roll pastry, seafood and specialty ingredients that open up more ambitious home-cooking projects. Even if you only need a single item, it is easy to leave with a small basket of discoveries, from instant noodles with unfamiliar flavours to sweets and biscuits you will not find in an ordinary Danish supermarket.

Friendly help for curious cooks

Part of the appeal of Afthonia Store is the personal, informal atmosphere. This is not an anonymous hypermarket: staff are close at hand, ready to help decode labels, suggest substitutes when a particular brand is missing, or explain how an unfamiliar ingredient is typically used. If you arrive with a photo of a dish or a list from a cookbook, there is a good chance someone will walk the aisles with you to locate the key components. Regulars drop in as part of their weekly errands, but first-time visitors are just as welcome to ask basic questions or ask for simple ideas to try at home.

Part of everyday life in Nykøbing Falster

The store’s location makes it an easy addition to a wander through central Nykøbing Falster, perhaps combined with cafés, the nearby shopping centre or a stroll toward the waterfront. Outside, Slotsgade retains the feel of a traditional Danish købstad with its mix of shops, bakeries and services; inside, the focus is entirely on the global pantry. Opening hours follow a straightforward pattern that suits both locals and day-trippers: late morning to late afternoon on weekdays, slightly longer on Fridays, shorter days on Saturdays, and a compact opening window on Sundays that still allows for last-minute shopping.

Planning a practical visit

Afthonia Store is a functional, no-nonsense grocery rather than a large attraction, so most visits are short and purposeful. The compact layout means you can find what you want quickly, but browsing is encouraged if you wish to discover new flavours. Expect simple shelving, narrow aisles and practical freezers rather than elaborate displays. Because this is a small city-centre shop, it is wise to bring your own bag. Card payments are standard, and the quiet rhythm of town life outside the door means there is rarely any rush once you step inside. Whether you are cooking for a household that already knows these ingredients well, or experimenting with Asian recipes for the first time, the store offers a surprisingly broad selection for its size.
