Marugame Udon's Sensational Release: 'Maron' Donut
Starting from October 7, 2025, Marugame Udon, a beloved Japanese udon restaurant, will introduce a delightful new flavor to its unique 'Udo-Nuts' series: the 'Maron' donut. These donuts are crafted from the same dough that makes their udon famous, ensuring a signature chewy texture that fans adore.
The 'Maron' variety is a delightful blend of two types of chestnut—sweet chestnut pieces and a smooth chestnut paste, both intricately mixed into the dough using what Marugame calls their “Happy Mochimochi Manufacturing Method.” This innovative approach not only celebrates the textures of the donuts but also incorporates the essence of autumn in every bite. As you sink your teeth into the donut, the tender bites of sweet chestnut combine perfectly with the smooth chestnut flavor, giving you a truly rich experience reminiscent of enjoying a warm chestnut dish.
Why You Should Try the 'Maron' Donut
The release of the 'Maron' donut comes at a time when many are seeking comfort and relaxation as the summer fades away and autumn begins. With the extensive heat of summer giving way to cool autumn, there's no better time to embrace a cozy snack. The rich and warm flavor of the 'Maron' donut could potentially offer a comforting treat for those looking to unwind at the end of a long day. Interestingly, previous research at Marugame Udon suggests that the unique chewy texture can enhance relaxation and improve concentration, making these donuts a perfect companion for your autumn evening.
In addition to the 'Maron' flavor, Marugame Udon continues to innovate the Udo-Nuts lineup by offering four delicious varieties:
