It’s been almost a year since we first told you about Marugame Udon making its Canadian debut in BC.

And now, we have even more info for noodle lovers about the soon-to-be-open location launching in Vancouver.

What is Marugame Udon?

Set to launch at 589 Beatty Street, this concept hails from Japan where it was first founded in the year 2000.

Now with more than 1,000 locations worldwide in eight countries, this spot has amassed a cult following of folks who love its deep-fried crispy tempura and handmade udon noodles made fresh.

Described as offering a “theatre-like atmosphere,” at Marugame, diners can watch their Sanuki-style udon, which originates from Japan’s Kagawa Prefecture, be made to order before their eyes.

The style of udon offered at Marugame is one of the most popular around. It’s made from high-quality wheat flour, water, and salt.

We’re told the thing to be most excited for, though, is that famous “Marugame texture.”

This is a signature hallmark for the brand and means thick, chewy, and slightly firm noodles, which are hand-cut and boiled on the spot, served in the concept’s signature housemade fragrant soup stock.
