About the Restaurant:
From their website: A chewy and smooth texture. A soft, spreading wheat flavor. A fragrant broth that brings out the flavor of the noodles. To hear your “Delicious!” from the first bite to the last drop, we make our udon from scratch in all our stores, always kneading and making it fresh. That is Marugame Seimen’s commitment. To serve you the best bowl of udon you’ve ever had. We spare no effort and pour our hearts into making udon today.

Special Notes:
All Marugame Seimen locations operate as quick-service restaurants. Here’s how it works:
- Grab a tray upon entering.
- Order your udon – the dish is prepared fresh and placed on your tray.
- Move down the line, where you can add tempura or onigiri (rice balls).
- At the end of the line, grab a drink or order one from the cashier.
- The cashier tallies your items, and you pay before seating yourself.
- Find an open seat and help yourself to extra toppings, sauces, and water from the self-service station.
- When finished, return your tray and dishes to the designated area.
Menu:
- While you can browse the online menu, each location may have variations in its offerings.
- Tip: Decide what you want before you arrive, as the menu is displayed above the service line and is in Japanese only.
