Hakata Menbou Akanoren Marubiru
博多麺房 赤のれん 丸ビル店
Overview
A genuine Hakata Tonkotsu ramen shop in Marunouchi, inheriting the legacy of Azabu's renowned "Hakata Menbo Akanoren" with over 40 years of history. Located on the 6th floor of Maru Building, it boasts excellent access, just a 1-minute walk from Tokyo Station's Marunouchi North Exit. Its signature dish is a cloudy tonkotsu soup, cooked in a cauldron and seasoned with soy sauce, which is slightly oilier and richer than the Nagahama style but leaves no heavy aftertaste. The noodles are characteristic Hakata square-cut, extra-thin flat noodles, available in "hosomen (thin noodles)" and "goku-hosomen (very thin noodles)". Topped with char siu and shredded menma, it's customary to finish with a "kaedama (noodle refill)". Various toppings like "iwa-nori (rock seaweed)", "karashi takana (spicy pickled mustard greens)", and "beni shoga (red pickled ginger)" are available, along with popular sides like "mentaiko gohan (spicy cod roe rice)" and "sui gyoza (boiled dumplings)". In the evenings, it can also be enjoyed as a ramen izakaya, offering a selection of à la carte dishes and alcoholic beverages.

For "kaedama (noodle refill)", you can verbally request noodle firmness such as "futsu (regular)", "katame (firm)", or "barikata (very firm)" (kaedama is charged separately). Payment methods include cash, credit cards, public transportation IC cards (like Suica), and QR code payments.
3Seating and receiving

4Other
Enjoy changing the flavor with "beni shoga (red pickled ginger)" on the table, or paid toppings like "iwa-nori (rock seaweed)" and "karashi takana (spicy pickled mustard greens)". It's customary in Hakata style to enjoy multiple "kaedama (noodle refill)" with varying noodle firmness. Sides like "mentaiko gohan (spicy cod roe rice)", lunch sets, and "sui gyoza (boiled dumplings)" are also popular.

博多麺房赤のれん丸ビル店@東京にて、博多らあめん。オープンは、2002年９月６日。開業から20数年の歳月を重ね、同店も今や、丸の内エリアを代表する堂々たる実力店のひとつとしての地位を獲得。仄かな甘みが味蕾に心地良い豚骨スープを、『赤のれん』の象徴とでも言うべき平打ち麺が、力強くけん引。 pic.twitter.com/rcMSFKEoMY

博多麺房 赤のれん 丸ビル店@東京（千代田区）で「博多らあめん」を細麺（カタメ）で注文。2002年9月オープン。本店は西麻布。丸ビル店も店内に五右衛門釜を持ち込みスープ作り。白濁クリーミーな豚骨スープ😋 麺は平打ちのためか、ちょっと変わった食感ですね。 #ramen #東京都 pic.twitter.com/B1pqEe97ad
