Summer Kickoff with Marugame Seimen's 'Onioroshi Series'

As the warm weather approaches, Marugame Seimen, renowned for its handmade Sanuki udon, is excited to announce the return of its popular 'Onioroshi Series' starting June 10, 2025. This year, three delicious variations will be available, each designed to satisfy different summer cravings. This includes the ultimate summer favorite, the 'Onioroshi Meat Bukkake Udon,' exclusively found at roadside locations. Additionally, the 'Onioroshi Chicken Kara Bukkake Udon' will be featured primarily in shopping centers, while the 'Onioroshi Pork Shabu Bukkake Udon' will be available at all locations nationwide.

The Return of the Beloved 'Onioroshi Series'

The 'Onioroshi Series' celebrates the quality and craftsmanship of udon makers. Freshly-made cold udon, carefully crafted from scratch every day, is paired with crunchy grated daikon (onioroshi) and delectable meats. This series meets the diverse eating demands of summer; whether you desire something hearty or light, it is designed to cater to both preferences.

The preparation of these cold udon noodles is meticulous. After boiling, the noodles are thoroughly chilled to create an incredibly smooth and slippery texture on the tongue—perfectly balanced with a delightful chewiness. This refreshing experience is especially appealing during Japan's hot summer months.

Relish in the diverse offerings from the 'Onioroshi Series' this summer:

Popular Selection: Onioroshi Meat Bukkake Udon

Indulge in the succulent taste of freshly grilled beef, prepared right before your eyes with a subtly sweet dipping sauce. This dish features the enticing aroma and enticing sounds of sizzling beef, blending beautifully with the cool, crunchy grated daikon and a special ponzu sauce, delivering a refreshing flavor that is perfect for summer.

Chill Factor: Onioroshi Pork Shabu Bukkake Udon

Enjoy the light and delicate flavor of chilled, tender pork shabu, expertly blanched and marinated in a flavorful seasonal broth. Laid over the firm, chilled udon, the grated daikon and a hint of yuzu create an irresistible summer dish highlighted by refreshing flavors.

Crispy Delight: Onioroshi Chicken Kara Bukkake Udon

The Craftsmanship Behind 'Onioroshi Series'

Marugame Seimen's dedication to quality extends beyond just the udon itself. Here are some highlights of their commitment to craftsmanship:

1. Summer Udon Crafting

With rising temperatures and humidity during summer, maintaining the right conditions for making udon is crucial. Marugame Seimen employs skilled udon artisans across all locations, ensuring that delicious, high-quality udon is prepared consistently regardless of the season.

2. The Freshness of Onioroshi

The tonic of the dish comes from the coarsely grated daikon, delivering a crunchy texture and an abundance of umami flavor. This synergy of the onioroshi and the meats creates a unique harmony, allowing diners to enjoy a satisfying yet refreshing experience.

3. Special Ponzu Sauce

Developed exclusively for the 'Onioroshi Series,' the special ponzu sauce blends yuzu and sudachi for a citrusy flavor that enhances the overall taste experience, leaving a refreshing aftertaste.

4. Eggplant Side Dish

Served alongside the pork shabu and chicken kara dishes, the eggplant is carefully selected for its vibrant color and glossiness, fried immediately post-harvest, and marinated in delicious broth for an enhanced flavor that complements the udon beautifully.

Additional Summer Items

In addition to the 'Onioroshi Series', Marugame Seimen is pleased to offer other seasonal cold udon dishes, including the favorite 'Rei Kake Udon' served with a refreshing cold broth. Other items feature seasonal flavors like 'Sudachi Oroshi Rei Kake Udon' and 'Aotogarashi Oroshi Bukkake Udon,' perfect for summer enjoyment!
