When I go to the southern district, I always end up stopping by here. One reason is that usually after staying at a hot spring or campsite, we check out around lunchtime. Another reason is that my daughter loves Marugame. This time, we hesitated until the last minute, debating whether to find another restaurant, but as soon as my daughter saw the sign of this place, she shouted, "Let's go to Marugame after all!" and we entered while laughing. My husband had egg over rice with grated sudachi udon, chikuwa tempura, and chicken tempura. He eats a lot. I had sudachi udon with mentaiko topping. My daughter had grilled meat on rice. The noodles were as always, firm and chewy, and delicious, but the sudachi was a mistake. Sudachi + grated daikon + meat would have been the best combination. I didn't mind though, because the tamago kake gohan (egg over rice) my husband shared with me was so delicious.

I chose this because I had eaten so much at the buffet at the hotel in Jozankei Onsen the day before that my stomach felt like it was going to burst, so I wanted something gentle on my stomach. Kake udon: 390 yen. When I eat udon or soba, I think it's great to be born Japanese. My stomach was somewhat full, but I enjoyed it. Thank you for the meal.

I'm sorry for using this only when I'm not feeling well. Kamaage udon is delicious... I don't think there's anyone who would say it's not delicious. It's a favorite menu. On this day, I chose the classic favorite chicken tempura and sweet pumpkin tempura. It was a well-balanced meal.

This time, I am prepared to be warned by Tabelog as I post this review. I arrived at the restaurant a little after 1 pm and ordered udon and oyakodon in regular size. Despite it being lunchtime, they said they didn't have enough rice and could only make a small oyakodon. I had no choice but to settle for the small size. When I took a bite of the oyakodon, I was shocked. The rice was soaked in the broth. The sauce for the oyakodon was quite strong, so it was extremely salty. It was so watery that I could transfer the broth to an empty bowl. I will attach a photo from that moment. I often order oyakodon at Marugame Seimen, so I know what to expect, but usually, the rice is not soaked in sauce, and you can see the white parts of the rice. This time, however, the rice was completely soaked and mushy. Since it was my last meal and I was running out of time, I couldn't say anything to the staff and just forced myself to finish it. It was really terrible. If it had been different, it would have been better for both me and the restaurant to speak up on the spot, but I simply didn't have the time. Nowadays, with social media spreading such content, restaurants really need to be more careful. I never really liked Marugame Seimen for serving mediocre udon, but I used to visit for their delicious oyakodon. However, after this incident, I am truly disgusted and will not be returning.

Marugame Seimen Ishizaka-dori branch is a well-known udon chain restaurant. Honestly, the udon here is advertised as Sanuki-style, but it's quite mediocre. However, when I want to eat udon near my workplace and there's only ramen shops around, I reluctantly visit this place. The prices are also higher compared to authentic Sanuki udon in Kagawa prefecture. But the side menu's oyakodon is incredibly delicious, so I highly recommend the side dishes. Marugame Seimen uses machines to make their udon, so even amateurs can make udon as long as they add the flour. There are supposedly only about four udon masters who have passed a strict internal exam at Marugame Seimen nationwide, but even they use machines instead of hand-making the udon. It's ridiculous to call them udon masters when they don't even hand-knead the noodles. Authentic Sanuki udon is made with hand-kneading to achieve that chewy texture, so it's no wonder this place is considered subpar. Plus, the popular budget frozen udon from Gyomu Supermarket has a stronger chew and tastes better than here. Nevertheless, I appreciate the quick service and the quality of the side dishes. Thank you for the meal.

Marugame Seimen has won the Udon Grand Prix, and they offer a promotion where you can get one bowl free for every bowl you purchase, whether it's hot or cold. For just 300 yen, you can enjoy two bowls of udon. Marugame Seimen's udon is made with only three ingredients: wheat, water, and salt. They use carefully selected ingredients to pursue a simple and high-quality deliciousness. In particular, the key to the deliciousness of their udon lies in the wheat, as they only use fragrant 100% domestically produced wheat. When you take a bite, the aroma of the wheat spreads gently in your mouth, showcasing their pride in creating such delicious noodles.

I visited during lunchtime. There was a line of takeout customers, with many ordering the "Oni Oroshi Niku Bukkake". I decided to order the same. The ordering system was efficient and quick once it was your turn. The seating area had some tables separated by plastic sheets, but it was empty. I was surprised by the firm texture of Marugame udon. Don't underestimate chain restaurants. The sweet flavor of the meat matched well with the broth and was delicious. The grated daikon radish added a refreshing touch when added later. The udon transformed into a different taste. Marugame did a great job. The tempura had the usual reliable quality, and I ended up eating too much.

I had a late dinner at this restaurant, which I sometimes visit to refresh myself. It was a slightly chilly night, so I ordered the "Hot grated radish soy sauce udon" and "Quail tempura". I used a ladle to scoop up some green onions and tempura crumbs and added them to my udon, creating my own original style. I poured plenty of soy sauce, mixed it well, and slurped up the noodles with all my might. The chewy udon and the soy sauce broth blended perfectly in my mouth. After finishing everything, I savored the remaining quail tempura. The lingering taste of the soy sauce and the quail tempura created an endless loop of deliciousness. Thank you for the meal.

This is my second time at Marugame Seimen! It must have been about 10 years ago when a store opened somewhere and out of curiosity, I went for the first time. The udon broth I had back then was lukewarm and not very tasty... I thought I would never go back again. But today, while working with a male junior colleague, he said he wanted to eat Marugame Seimen udon for lunch... So, being a kind "old miss", I agreed to go... (- -) ◎◎◎◎◎◎◎◎◎◎◎◎◎◎◎◎◎◎◎◎◎◎◎◎ 【Oyster-filled Tamago Ankake (regular)】690 yen It's full of thumb-sized oysters. Looks delicious, right? And for this price, it's quite cheap. But you know... "We were frozen until just now♪" The oysters, full of that "just defrosted" feeling, lacked any milky sweetness and had a mushy texture that was not very tasty... And on top of that, the broth was lukewarm! (｀ヘ´#) ﾂﾕﾇﾙｲﾍﾞﾔ～ｯ! 【Chicken and Egg Rice Bowl (small)】390 yen It seems this is only available at some stores. I thought I could handle a small portion since my stomach has gotten smaller recently... but this looks almost the same as a regular portion from other places, right? The runny and thick egg and chicken donburi tasted good, but I couldn't finish it... In the end, I left quite a bit of both dishes... Sorry to the staff <(_ _)> Maybe in another 10 years, I'll come back just for the Chicken and Egg Rice Bowl (small). Thank you for the meal. I've never gone to lunch with a junior colleague and said "Ah~ delicious♡" even once...

The day after drinking too much, my body craves udon noodles... I registered on the app and visited the restaurant for the second time, ordering the Kamatama Udon for 290 yen. And with the app coupon, it was half price. 290 yen became 140 yen. More than a 50% discount! I have used Marugame Seimen a few times before, but this was my first time trying their basic Kamatama Udon, and at this price. Apparently, it was also half price on December 1st. The udon was piping hot and the broth was warm, perfect for cold days. With the coupon, I am very satisfied with this price!

I visited Marugame Seimen Sapporo Ishiyama store in Minami Ward, Sapporo, with the intention of trying their cold bukkake udon, but for some reason, I was captivated by the poster of oyakodon. I ended up ordering the small size oyakodon, which was fluffy and delicious. The perfect balance of egg and chicken, with plenty of chicken pieces. The sweet and savory sauce was just right, and it was tastier than other average diners. It would be great if they had a small size udon on the menu as well. Thank you for the meal.

In May 2019, I visited a udon restaurant along Ishiyama Street. I ordered kake udon with my favorite shrimp tempura. The tempura shrimp was big and delicious. The udon was tasty and the broth had a strong dashi flavor, which I liked. I also enjoyed being able to customize the amount of green onions on top. The green onions here are really good! The tempura shrimp was crispy on the outside but a bit disappointing inside. Thank you for the meal!

Late April Saturday. On this day, Sapporo was cold with a high temperature that didn't reach 10°C. It felt like the recent early summer temperatures were a lie. On days like this, warm noodles are the best. So, I came here. - Asari Udon 650 yen The visual with plenty of clams is impressive! When I took a sip of the soup, the clam broth was rich and delicious (*^^*). However, after eating a few clams, I heard a "crunch" sound in my mouth. When I finished the soup, I found a little bit of sand accumulated at the bottom. If the sand had been removed properly, it would have been even more delicious (T_T). - Uma-Kara Tantan Udon 650 yen I tasted a bit of my husband's. It's quite spicy, with a creamy sesame flavor and richness, very tasty. However, it's a bit greasy... I found it a bit too greasy, and as someone who doesn't like hot food, my husband, who loves hot food, didn't think it was a hit. He muttered, "I won't order this again next time." The noodles were chewy and had a good texture, which I liked. Overall, there were some disappointing aspects, but considering those, I might still come back in the future. Thank you for the meal!

Exorcist meat sauce udon is refreshing and delicious in summer. Didn't even need rice.

I stopped by after visiting the barber shop. I had bukkake cold noodles, white rice, shrimp tempura, and mushrooms. The udon noodles were firm and chewy, very delicious.

I ordered the Ghost-Expelling Meat Bukkake with mixed vegetables tempura, squid tempura, and quail tempura. The meat was sweeter than I expected, but there was plenty of it. I sprinkled a lot of shichimi pepper on top and it was delicious!

Used for lunch. Visited with family. Some impressions: - Located along Ishiyama Street. - My son ordered zaru udon and salt nigiri, while I had bukkake udon and geso tempura. - Self-service for condiments. - Enjoyed generously topped tenkasu. - Very delicious.
