🍜 Deep Dive: What makes their "Niku Soba" so special?

Marugen’s flagship dish, "Niku Soba," offers an unparalleled tasting experience created by two secrets:

1. The Foundation: Aged Soy Sauce Base The core of the soup is a blend of three rich soy sauces: high-umami sauce from Shodoshima, rich-bodied sauce from Okayama, and sharp sauce from Chiba. Cooked individually with pork, the meat's natural sweetness melts into the sauce, creating a rich, full-bodied soup that you can't find anywhere else.

2. The Flavor Director: Yuzu Kosho Oroshi The key to enjoying this rich soup to the very last drop is the "Yuzu Kosho Oroshi" (Grated Daikon with Yuzu Pepper). This topping cuts through the richness of the pork fat. By mixing it into the soup midway through your meal, the savory soy broth transforms dramatically into a spicy, refreshing citrus flavor!
