Renowned Japanese noodle establishment, Marugame Udon, is gearing up for its inaugural Canadian venture with the launch of its first Vancouver location at 589 Beatty Street this winter. Introducing an authentic taste of Japan, Marugame Udon distinguishes itself with a theatrical atmosphere where noodles are hand-cut and boiled on the spot.
Boasting a global presence in over 8 countries with more than 1,000 locations worldwide, including 244 overseas establishments, Marugame Udon’s entry into Vancouver signifies a significant milestone in its expansion into the Canadian market.
Marugame Udon is acclaimed for its made-to-order Sanuki-style udon, paired with an enticing array of freshly fried tempura. Originating from Japan’s Kagawa Prefecture, the Sanuki-style udon is a revered variety known for its distinct “Marugame texture,” characterized by thick, chewy, and slightly firmer noodles compared to other udon styles.
Complemented by the signature house-made fragrant soup stock and a variety of toppings, each serving at Marugame is a sensory-rich culinary experience.
While specific menu details for the Vancouver location are in the finalization stage, patrons can expect a selection of signature udon bowls, golden-fried tempura, and various vegetarian options, all offered at an accessible price point in a lively and immersive setting.
Upon entering a Marugame Udon restaurant, guests encounter an uplifting and energetic atmosphere. The open kitchen design fosters a dynamic and engaging environment, allowing patrons to witness the preparation of their meals.
Located in Downtown Vancouver, Marugame Udon is within walking distance of the Stadium-Chinatown SkyTrain station, making it convenient for locals, workers, students, and event-goers attending nearby venues such as BC Place, Queen Elizabeth Theatre, and Rogers Arena.
Victor Hisao Misawa, President, and General Manager of Marugame Udon International express enthusiasm about introducing Marugame Udon to Vancouver, aiming to facilitate cultural exchange through the rich and authentic flavors of Sanuki-style udon and tempura.
While opening dates and additional details about the Vancouver restaurant are forthcoming, those interested can stay updated by visiting ca.marugame.com, and following @marugamecanada on Instagram.
