About Marugen Ramen
Our proud signature product is the "Aged Soy Sauce Ramen Nikusoba."
Upon order, each bowl is prepared individually in a pot with pork and broth, topped with chewy house-made multi-hydration noodles, yuzu kosho oroshi (grated yuzu pepper), and Japanese-style toppings like green onions. The key to the soup's flavor is the aged soy sauce tare, a blend of three types of soy sauce. The harmonious balance of all these elements makes the "Nikusoba" a special, unique dish only found at Marugen Ramen. Derived products such as "Ajitama Nikusoba" (ramen with seasoned egg) and "Kara Nikusoba" (spicy ramen) are also popular. The wide variety of ramen, including Shoyu Tonkotsu (pork bone soy sauce), Shio (salt) ramen, and Miso (fermented soybean paste) ramen, is also one reason for frequent visits.
Our star-class side menus include "Marugen Gyoza," "Teppan Tamago Chahan" (griddle-fried egg fried rice), and "Oishii Karaage" (delicious fried chicken), in addition to the popular "Soft Cream" for dessert. We also offer parking, and our bright and spacious interior has counter seats, table seats, and tatami rooms, allowing everyone from solo diners to families with children to relax and enjoy their meal.
