GOURMET TREATS
Top-Notch Wakayama Ramen
Another well-established ramen restaurant, Yamatame is known for its medium-thick noodles served in a rich, flavoursome tonkotsu (pork) broth. The dish is topped with thickly-sliced barbecued pork. A local canteen-style restaurant, the menu also includes udon noodles and other Japanese favourites.
Marui's trademark is this ramen dish (¥750) topped generously with chopped negi (scallions). The noodles entwine with the crisp chopped negi, emphasizing the umami-rich tonkotsu (pork) soy sauce broth in which they are served. Other options include spicy ramen and a range of small side dishes such as gyoza, (Chinese dumplings).
