Marukin Ramen
Marukin Ramen is a Tokyo-based chain of ramen restaurants.
In 2021, two Marukin locations in Portland, Oregon, became known as Kinboshi Ramen.
Marukin Ramen is a ramen shop based in Tokyo. There were nine locations in the Greater Tokyo Area, as of 2016.
Marukin operated two locations in Portland, Oregon, in Old Town Chinatown's Pine Street Market (housed in the United Carriage and Baggage Transfer Building) and in southeast Portland's Buckman neighborhood. Willamette Week's Elise Herron described the Buckman location as "sleek, packing dark-stained family-style tables along the length of the building, which it splits with Thai chicken-and-rice phenom" Nong's Khao Man Gai.
The menu had vegetarian, vegan, and curry options. The vegan Shoyu red ramen has tofu, vegetables, and mushrooms. Marukin also served dumplings, fried chicken and karaage, onigiri rice balls with Japanese pickles, tonkotsu pork broth, beer, sake, and wine. In 2016, Matthew Korfhage of Willamette Week wrote, "Marukin keeps it simple—counter-service ramen with a few sides—and unlike almost every other shop in town, it make its constantly improving, firm-textured noodles by hand at its own shop."
Masa Hayashi and Hiroshi Kusuda are co-owners. David Rademacher is a U.S. partner.
In Portland, executive chef Masaji Sakai joined head chef Mayumi Hijikata.
Marukin opened two shops in Portland in 2016. According to the Portland Tribune, the Pine Street location was "sought out to honor Old Town's Japanese heritage". The two shops became known as Kinboshi Ramen in 2021.
