1. Maru De Sankaku
If you prefer fish soup, Zagin’s sister restaurant, Maru De Sankaku may be better suited for you. Located around the corner from Zagin’s Central branch, Maru still features the sister restaurant’s signature cappuccino foam broth, but replaces the chicken soup with a fragrant fish broth instead.
Keeping the menu short and simple, Maru also only serves three styles of ramen—a clear fish broth paired with two slices of crispy fish skin; and an eight-hour creamy white fish soup ramen, which can also be ordered as a tsukemen (dipping ramen) that is first come, first served. If you’re looking for a more stimulating dining experience, the tsukemen noodles are served above a layer of dry ice, creating a fog effect for a few moments. The noodles are unlike most tsukemen noodles in that they resemble the wider Chinese knife-cut noodles.
