I entered the restaurant at 12:03 on a weekday and left when it was 50% full at 12:15. I ordered the regular size of spicy cod roe udon with chicken tempura for 560 yen plus an additional 180 yen. It was delicious as always, with high-quality udon that surpasses many other small restaurants. I look forward to the next time I can enjoy a meal here. Thank you.

This is Marugame Seimen's Kameoka branch. I visited before 11 am on a Saturday. Since it was early, there weren't many customers and I was able to enjoy my meal smoothly. The store is located along Route 9, near Chiyogawa Station. The exterior of the store is a typical suburban Marugame Seimen store, with a convenient parking lot. Inside, you order your udon right away, choose your favorite tempura or onigiri, and pay at the same time. On this day, I ordered the limited-time Duck Sukiyaki Udon (regular) for 740 yen, along with Vegetable Kakiage for 160 yen, and Jumbo Kanikama Tempura for 190 yen. The Duck Sukiyaki Udon was brought to my seat by the staff right after it was made. The raw egg for the udon is served separately for you to mix in. Topped with duck meat, green onions, shiitake mushrooms, and chrysanthemum greens in a rich-colored broth, this dish had a sweet and savory flavor, just like sukiyaki. The firm and chewy noodles unique to Marugame Seimen added a delightful texture, complementing the sukiyaki flavor. The shiitake mushrooms were well-seasoned and paired nicely with the dish. The duck meat had a tender texture and decent fat content, although the portion was not very large. The Vegetable Kakiage consisted mainly of onions, with carrots, leeks, and pumpkin, offering a large and satisfying portion. The Jumbo Kanikama Tempura was soft and notably large, providing a satisfying crunch. The Duck Sukiyaki Udon was a rich and comforting dish, perfect for warming up during the cold season. I would definitely like to revisit when the opportunity arises.

A little late for lunch at Marugame Seimen Kameoka Store! After enjoying the Hozugawa River Boat Ride and taking the Torokko Train back to Kameoka, we found ourselves at this restaurant. The udon here is incredibly delicious with a strong texture. It truly lives up to Kyoto's food culture reputation. This is the best Marugame Seimen I've ever had! Even after 1 PM, there was still a line. The udon here has an exceptionally strong texture. #MarugameSeimen #Delicious #Kameoka #IncrediblyStrongTexture #BestMarugameSeimenShop

I visited around 4:00 pm on October 19th (Saturday). I think I've been here before, but I wasn't registered. I stopped by after cleaning my mother's grave. It's an odd time because I missed lunch. Usually, I eat regular bukkake udon, but today I also had toro tamago. The kashiwa tempura and inari sushi were delicious as always. Someone might say it's a modest amount, but I shared today's toppings with my mother, so it's modest... It was delicious! Thank you for the meal!

Today, I stopped by Marugame Seimen because I was in the mood for udon. I was surprised to see a line, but I decided to enter. The udon here has really great texture! I wonder if it's the same as other places, but I haven't been to any others so I don't know. The classic inari sushi was also satisfying!

After climbing Mt. Ogi, Mt. Hiei, and Mt. Atago, I want to relax in a hot spring and then fill my stomach with some delicious food in Kameoka before heading to the next hiking destination. I think Marugame Seimen would be a good choice for a satisfying meal. I wonder if the broth at Hanamaru Udon is tastier though.

I went to northern Kyoto for a visit. On the way back on Route 9, I stopped for lunch. I had bukkake udon, which was delicious with a smooth texture. The restaurant also offered unlimited tempura bits and green onions, which I love. I tried the vegetable tempura with sauce for the first time, and surprisingly, it was a good combination. The restaurant was crowded during lunchtime, indicating its popularity. Thank you for the meal.

"Marugame Seimen" has reached a position where it can be called the lunchtime companion of salarymen. No matter where you go, they warmly welcome us with their generosity, and for that, we are grateful. On this day, I visited their location in Kameoka City for a work lunch. It was a Sunday, so by lunchtime, the place was packed with families! There was even a security guard in the parking lot directing traffic due to the crowd. You order before finding a seat, and there was quite a line to order on this day. I ordered the seasonal limited edition "Salt Bukkake Udon (large)" with chikuwa tempura and chicken tender for a total of 720 yen. It was a bit of a splurge compared to my usual order. The limited menu item "Salt Bukkake Udon" had a refreshing salt flavor with crisp watercress, which I really enjoyed! As a watercress lover, I thought it could easily be a regular menu item. The portion was quite generous, but I finished it in no time! Thank you for the meal.

I lost the photo, but I really enjoyed it! Udon with tartar sauce on fried chicken! I wonder if it's a limited time offer? I saw it in a commercial and wanted to try it, so I went and tried it! At first, I was unsure if it would taste good together, but it was very good!!

I had tempura and udon noodles. The tempura was crispy and delicious. The udon noodles were chewy and tasty.

Additional information: This is an old article with information about stores offering half-price deals. http://www.toridoll.com/ir/pdf/100428.pdf *Please note that there may be new stores that have opened or stores that have already ended their promotions, but this information can still be useful. Stores located in places like AEON MALL KYOTO and Kyoto Family do not seem to offer the half-price deal. I have visited this restaurant several times in the past, but today was my first visit in about six months. This Marugame Seimen store in Kyoto is one of the stores that offer a half-price day deal. The prices are as follows: 280 yen → 140 yen (Regular: 1 serving), 380 yen → 190 yen (Large: 1.5 servings), 480 yen → 240 yen (Special: 2 servings), so it is quite a good deal. The sign for the "Half-Price Day for Kamaage Udon on the 1st of Every Month" has disappeared, but I think they should bring it back. There is no mention of it inside the store, and the staff also do not say anything like "Today is half-price!" so some customers end up ordering the regular udon without realizing the deal until they see others around them enjoying the discounted udon. Why doesn't anyone mention it? Why isn't it written inside the store? Why don't they have a sample display? If they promoted it more, maybe more customers would visit on half-price days. It seems like they lack a service-oriented mindset. Nevertheless, I still go there. You can get a wooden bucket of kamaage udon with unlimited green onions and tenkasu. For 290 yen, you can enjoy a large serving (190 yen) with a piece of tempura (100 yen). It's a great deal! If you get tired of the broth halfway through, there's a little trick... Borrow a child-sized bowl and add some regular udon broth to enjoy a different flavor. You can also use the tempura broth for a variety of tastes (although they are all quite similar). I'm not sure if it's allowed, but... Today, I went with the large serving and tempura. It wasn't clear if the tempura was freshly fried, so I asked for "freshly fried, please," and they kindly brought it to my table so I could enjoy it piping hot. I'll definitely go back again...

This is Marugame Seimen Kameoka store, a self-service Sanuki udon restaurant located in Kyoto. It has expanded nationwide and now has 11 stores in Kyoto alone. The interior has been renovated and now has a clean and modern look typical of self-service restaurants. The menu, aside from udon, is extensive and the freshness and deliciousness of the ingredients, especially the green onions, are impressive. The quality is consistent even in the Hawaii stores. I hope they continue to maintain this high standard. Overall, it is a satisfying restaurant with good value for money. (I rated it 3.5 because it is the first store in Kyoto)
