G'day friends.
Following the
previous Wakayama ramen noodle restaurant Marushige Chuka-soba (丸繁中華ソバ), I researched another
restaurant called Marutaya (丸田屋) to let the journey go on.
Restaurant 2;Marutaya (丸田屋)=☆☆☆☆ out of 5
I was very much
right to have a bowl of double noodles
(大盛) because what they served me was
pretty damn good.
As you see the
photo, the bowl was perfectly filled with noodles and soup.
My favorite noodles
(thily straight ones) are used. The noodles were cooked
just right whith
good quality boiling process. Those thinly straight noodles match the best
with the soup because the soup well twists around thinly
shaped straight
noodles.
The pork bone and
soy sauce soup was perfectly harmonized
with selected soy sauce. I guess their years of study on the broth would pay
off.
How ever, I heard
that the founder of the noodle restaurant was in practice at
Ide shoten (井出商店)that is known as the inventor
of the pork bone and soy sauce stock.

Further more, it is
all accessible for the wheelchairs at the restaurant

a small step in front) the Western

On the
other hand, the restaurant is loacted in
Iwade city, thus it's distant
from the major
gateways such as the Wakayama Station.

How to get there.

Conclusion
If with
better accessibility from the Wakayama station, Marutaya could have been
rewarded 5. However, what they produce was pretty grate with sugar on top.
