My first Marugen ramen meal, with fried rice and dumplings

I went to Marugen Ramen for the first time. Thin noodles and a rich-flavoured soup, together with fried rice and dumplings, made a filling meal.

From haruru.1002’s past accounts.

Thin noodles and a flavourful soup

The meat ramen had seasoned thin slices of pork belly rather than chashu. I enjoyed the thin noodles and soup, and finished the broth for the first time in a while.

Fried rice and dumplings made it a full meal

I chose a set with fried rice and dumplings that day. Eating both alongside the ramen left me thoroughly full.

Remembering that first bowl

What stayed with me was enjoying both the noodles and the soup on that first visit. The set made it a satisfying meal to remember.
