Discovering Marugen Ramen

Marugen Ramen is famed for its signature dish, the Aged Soy Sauce Ramen (Nikumen). Each order is freshly prepared in a hand pot, featuring tender pork simmered with a flavorful broth alongside house-made noodles, yuzu pepper paste, chopped green onions, and other authentic toppings. The sauce's secret is a blend of three types of aged soy sauce, creating a harmony of flavors that can only be experienced at Marugen Ramen. Other popular offerings include the Ajitama Nikumen and Spicy Nikumen.

A variety of ramen types, including soy sauce tonkotsu, salt, and miso ramen, contribute to the restaurant's popularity among regulars.
