About Marugen Ramen
The dessert follows a meal centered on Marugen Ramen’s signature Meat Soba, a soy-sauce ramen made with pork cooked in a small pot for each order. The soup uses a blend of three soy sauces, while house-made high-hydration noodles, yuzu pepper daikon, and green onions add texture and Japanese-style flavor.
