Our Story

A bowl that carries our family name

Ramen Marukichi began as a 12-seat counter in Tokyo. Today we simmer the same marrow-rich broth for 18 hours, layer it with fragrant tare, and finish with handcrafted noodles made fresh every morning.

Every bowl is guided by omotenashi—anticipating what you need before you ask. From the first sip to the last slurp, we keep it honest, warm, and unmistakably Marukichi.

Broth, no shortcuts

18-hour pork & chicken stock, clarified and finished with kombu.

Noodles on-site

Alkaline water mix for perfect chew; rested and cut daily.

Experience

Designed for slurp-worthy comfort

From the cedar counter to the lacquered bowls, every detail honors ramen culture. Enjoy gentle lighting, curated playlists, and friendly staff who know when to chat and when to let you focus on your noodles.

“They honor tradition but keep the room relaxed. The vegan kinoko is a sleeper hit.”
