The story behind the bowl
Marusan is a repeated Top 100 selection with a deep brown pork-soy soup that looks dense but retains savory balance, plus the essential Wakayama pressed-sushi pairing.
Before you go: Arrive before peak lunch and try the soup before the sushi so you can read its concentration clearly.
