Ramen restaurant • 61-1 Omotomachi, Hagi, Yamaguchi 758-0042, Japan
Located in Yaguma-cho, Hagi City, "Marutan Ramen" is a hidden gem run by a couple who honed their skills in Onomichi. As indicated by the sign "From Onomichi," it's a rare store where you can enjoy authentic Onomichi flavor in Hagi.
The characteristic of Marutan Ramen is its chicken broth soy sauce soup based on Choshu chicken. Although it looks rich, it actually features a light yet rich taste. The coarsely chopped back fat, when combined with the soup, spreads umami in your mouth.
The noodles come in two varieties: medium-thin straight noodles and flat noodles. They blend well with the soup, allowing you to enjoy an exquisite texture. The crunchy texture of the large bamboo shoots topping is also exceptional.
The side menu is extensive and complements the ramen perfectly.
The interior has a calm Japanese style. There are counter seats and a raised tatami area, creating a homely space. Many regular customers suggest that it is loved by the locals.
The service from the owner is wonderful, with the friendly "How was it?" inquiry adding a delightful touch.
When sightseeing in Hagi, please be sure to enjoy the authentic Onomichi flavor at "Marutan Ramen." Its light yet deep-flavored ramen will surely satisfy both your heart and stomach.
