About Marugen Ramen

The flagship product, 'Aged Soy Sauce Ramen Meat Soba', is prepared fresh per order, with broth simmered with pork in individual pots, paired with firm, house-made high-hydration noodles, yuzu-kosho paste, and green onions for a distinctly Japanese finish. The signature aged soy tare is a blend of three soy sauces, creating a harmonious and unique flavor found only at Marugen Ramen. Variants like 'Flavor Egg Meat Soba' and 'Spicy Meat Soba' are also popular. The menu also includes shoyu tonkotsu, salt, and miso ramen, contributing to its high customer return rate.

Star side dishes include 'Marugen Gyoza', 'Teppan Egg Fried Rice', and 'Delicious Karaage', with 'Soft Cream' as a popular dessert. Most stores offer parking, and bright, spacious interiors feature counter, table, and tatami seating, welcoming solo diners and families alike.
