Nagoya, Aichi, Japan｜Tsukemen Maruwa Haruta Honten

Delicious tsukemen! Very friendly staff Enka ambient music to to it up.

2023.12.20 I finally arrived at the main store! As a tsukemen fan myself, I had always wanted to go, but I never had the chance to go, so this time I had the perfect timing! Since I can't come often, I ordered a large serving of Maruwa Tsukemen. During lunch time, it's nice to have free rice. (Self-serve, pickles included) The taste is classic tsukemen, pork bones and seafood. And the simmering dipping sauce is irresistible lol There are many ingredients in the dipping sauce, and the menma in particular is very filling, which makes me personally happy! The noodles are thick and have a good texture. It was a very satisfying lunch. Thank you for the meal! !

For dinner today, I visited Tsukemen Maruwa Haruta Main Branch. This is a famous restaurant that cannot be overlooked when talking about Nagoya's tsukemen. Karoku Sakaguchi, who worked with Kazuo Yamagishi at the Marucho group, opened the restaurant through a connection. I visited on Friday before 8pm. The long chairs in the store were filled with customers behind me, Customers waiting outside began to appear. The parking lot has a large number of parking spaces considering the store area. The store has both counters and tables. I was seated at the counter about 15 minutes after waiting inside. [Maruwa tsukemen + flavored egg, rice] Karoku Tsukemen, a light soup that follows the style of Marucho, Two of their signature menu items are Maruwa tsukemen, which is served with a rich soup that matches the local characteristics of Nagoya. Of course I ordered the rich Maruwa tsukemen. Today I also added flavored egg topping and rice. Free noodles up to 300g. Additional charges will apply depending on the quantity. There is only one bowl of rice, but you can have as much as you want. The meal went well with my favorite pickled vegetables. The specialty of this restaurant is the dipping sauce served in a stone pot. The heat retention effect is excellent, and I thought it would always be served piping hot. To begin with, the temperature of the dipping sauce is not very high. Now, the most important thing is the taste, it's quite high in concentration and is very satisfying to eat. Pork, chicken bones, vegetables, knots, etc. are simmered for a long time. In particular, the flavor of the knotweed comes to the forefront. In addition, the richness and thickness of animal-based ingredients are added, What's more, the chili peppers add a tangy flavor to the whole dish. Despite having such a rich seasoning, It has the three basic elements of sweet and spicy acid, You will be able to show off your amazing skills that follow the flow of "Marucho". The noodles are chewy and thick, and the water content is slightly high. It had a lot of elasticity. The ingredients are as follows, except for the flavored egg topping. Menma and green onions are added to the dipping sauce. Two slices of char siu and chopped seaweed on a noodle plate. The flavored eggs are half-boiled and lightly seasoned, allowing you to enjoy the yolk. It has a rich, sweet and spicy taste, and is the best of the Oma series. Thank you very much.
