Marutake

Takeoka-style ramen brings together a rich soy sauce broth and the crisp texture of chopped onion. Marutake’s “Special Takeoka-style Ramen” is marked as a recommendation on the menu, with braised pork and seasoned egg among its toppings. Some diners say that dipping the noodles into the broth and eating them with the pork lets the meat and soy sauce flavours come through together. The texture of the dried noodles is another distinctive feature of this style.

For a ramen in a different vein, “Marutake-style New Taste” is a ginger soy sauce ramen made with fresh noodles. Its noodles and flavour profile differ from those of Takeoka-style ramen, and some diners visit specifically for this ginger-forward bowl. The menu also lists Takeoka-style Ramen and Braised Pork Ramen, with medium and large noodle portions available.

You can also decide whether to add rice or try the yellow pork curry. Some diners find the curry mild and homely; it offers something different alongside the ramen’s bolder flavours. The menu lets you choose a small, medium or large serving of rice, making it easy to adjust the meal to your appetite.

Menu prices list Takeoka-style Ramen at 850 yen, Special Takeoka-style Ramen at 1,200 yen and Marutake-style New Taste at 1,000 yen. The restaurant is described as a lunch option and suitable for solo dining. It offers both dine-in and takeaway.
