Marugame Seimen is well-known for its self-service Sanuki udon. Beyond the chewy, thick noodles made fresh in-store, another major draw is the ability to freely use the complimentary condiments provided.
But did you know that 'wakame' (seaweed) is also free at Marugame Seimen?
Marugame Seimen added 'wakame' to its free toppings starting May 2025. In fact, it used to be a paid option, but now you can enjoy it for free. At the same time, 'Shibi-Kara Rayu' (numbingly spicy chili oil) was also added to the free condiments.
Pile on the wakame freely
Combined with traditionally free items like 'tenkasu' (tempura scraps) and 'aonegi' (green onions), there are now a total of 8 types of free toppings and condiments available.

Wakame Shibi-Kara Rayu (numbingly spicy chili oil) Tenkasu (tempura scraps) Aonegi (green onions) Grated ginger Ground sesame Kō-Shichimi (aromatic seven-spice blend) Wasabi
All 8 free toppings and condiments
If you can pile on wakame as much as you like, you're free to transform a simple 'kake udon' (plain udon) into a 'wakame udon'! Adding seaweed also boosts your fiber intake and makes the dish more satisfying.
Some udon restaurants offer 'wakame udon' as a menu item, so having wakame for free is a real bonus.
Next time you visit Marugame Seimen, why not try piling on plenty of wakame and enjoying it? Of course, it's always good to be considerate of other customers and enjoy a reasonable amount.
