About

Maruyu's Motomachi main shop is one of Oita City's best-known ramen counters, serving a clean, light tonkotsu in the Nagahama (Fukuoka) style, with a punchy tare and generous chashu. It opens only for lunch and may close around 13:30 when the soup runs out, and queues of locals form on holidays. A worthwhile stop if you are staying in Oita City or flying from Oita Airport.
