Marugame Seimen branch in downtown Tokyo transforms into an anime eatery with awesome artwork inside and out.
Marugame Seimen
You’ll have to travel to Marugame Seimen locations across Japan to try each dish in its respective prefecture.
These sweet treats–made not from udon flour but from actual mashed udon noodles–are delightfully chewy and pack a flavorful punch.
Two new limited-time menu items at the restaurant feature Kobe beef, so we pulled out all of the stops to feel worthy of this gastronomic celebration.
We spend some time with an expert noodle chef and find out what it takes to become one-star certified.
