What Makes Marugen Ramen Special

At the core of Marugen Ramen’s menu is their signature dish, the "Aged Shoyu Ramen with Meat Noodles." This dish exemplifies the restaurant's commitment to quality, featuring a rich broth made from simmered pork combined with the restaurant's special high-water noodles, topped with yuzu pepper, grated radish, and fresh green onions. The key ingredient, an aged soy sauce blend made from three different varieties, highlights the delicate balance and flavor harmony that Marugen Ramen offers, making the "Meat Noodles" truly unique.

In addition to this flagship offering, Marugen Ramen also features popular variants such as the "Ajitamago Meat Noodles" and "Spicy Meat Noodles." Customers can customize their ramen experience by opting for 50% less carbohydrate noodles for a healthier choice. The availability of vegetable-rich options and a range of light, healthy menu items contributes to the high frequency of customer visits, appealing to both ramen aficionados and health-conscious diners alike.

Side Dishes and More

Complementing the main dishes, side items like the "Marugen Gyoza," "Iron Plate Egg Fried Rice," and tasty "Fried Chicken" make for excellent additions to any meal. Don't forget to save room for the famously smooth "Soft Serve Ice Cream" for dessert. The restaurant sports a bright and spacious interior, equipped with counter seating, tables, and tatami mat spaces to accommodate various dining preferences, making it an inviting spot for everyone—from solo diners to family groups.
