Marutakaya Toyama Ekimae Branch
Traditional tonkotsu ramen enjoyed in front of Toyama Station, with over 70 years of history.
Marutakaya Toyama Ekimae Branch is located about a 5-minute walk from JR Toyama Station. Founded in 1952, it began when the predecessor started a street stall. This ramen shop serves carefully crafted ramen made with a recipe passed down since its founding.
The signature menu item is the ramen. Its highlights are the non-cloudy tonkotsu-based soup, medium-thick noodles, and the balance of the house-made toppings. With the soup, noodles, and toppings blending together in perfect balance, the result is a bowl of ramen with exquisite flavor. There are also side dishes that pair well with drinks, such as gyoza and stewed pork offal. Another feature of Marutakaya is that you can enjoy oden year-round, not just ramen. The most popular item is the pork skewer, made with simmered pork belly. It is a dish where grated kelp and the rich flavor of pork come together beautifully.
In addition to counter seats for small groups, there are also table seats for families. Marutakaya Toyama Ekimae Branch is conveniently located as a base for sightseeing in Toyama. Marutakaya has eight locations in Toyama Prefecture, so you can enjoy its carefully crafted signature bowl in various parts of Toyama.
