Iwakuni, Yamaguchi, Japan｜Marugame Seimen Iwakuni

I have been going here for years! Always yummy and reasonably priced. They do seasonal specials also, but I always end up getting the kake (kakeh) udon and some tempura. Mine is the smaller size (nami). The udon alone is around ¥310 right now. After I add some tempura (usually 2-3 pieces), my total is usually still less than ¥700. If you order the kake udon, they will just hand you a bowl of noodles with no broth. After you pay, you can add your broth. I always like to add a big chunk of grated ginger and some green onions before adding the broth. Lately I have been hooked on this little bowl of rice with a tempura egg on top. The yolk is runny, and there’s seaweed and sauce on the rice. It’s so good! Plenty of parking, but sometimes there’s a line out there door to place your order. It does move fairly quickly though. English menu is available and there are photos of most items.

Friendly staff and clean restaurant. Even if it seams busy the line moves quickly. Highly recommended.

Good price and a variety of options with lots of tempura add ons.
