“Chukasoba Marutaya“, which has four stores in Wakayama Prefecture, is one of the leading “Ide-style” Wakayama ramen restaurants and is frequently featured on television.
What kind of ramen is Marutaya’s Chukasoba?
Marutaya is one of the leading “Ide-kei style” Wakayama ramen restaurants, with a rich pork bone and soy sauce base.
The founder trained at Ide Shoten for three years and opened a store in Iwade in 2002.
Wakayama ramen also comes with hayasushi and boiled eggs which is standard with Wakayama-ramen. These are placed on the table, so please tell the staff when you pay if you want them.
The noodles are medium-thin and straight. The soup is a pork bone soy sauce soup with a strong pork bone flavor. It has a rich flavor, but strangely enough, the aftertaste is light and refreshing, so you can keep eating it.
The pork slices are thinly sliced pork belly with a slightly chewy texture. If you want a heartier meal, try adding more pork noodles.
To refresh your mouth midway, we recommend the slightly sour mackerel “Hayasushi”, a standard dish at long-established Wakayama ramen shops.
In the end, I even drank up the soup.
Thank you for the meal.
