A ramen chain MARUGEN RAMEN 丸源ラーメン is worth trying.
My family and I like this restaurant's ramen. I will definitely visit their ramen restaurant again soon to enjoy their ramen.
The best choice is Niku-Soba 肉そば
It is a pork meat ramen with unique and delicious broth.
Niku-soba 肉そば has a little sweet soup and a lot of tasty pork. 715 yen (including tax)
Marugen Ramen offers several kinds of ramen.
One of them is Niku-soba 肉そば and it is my favorite one at the restaurant.
When you are eating Niku-soba 肉そば, this restaurant highly recommends you to enjoy eating 4 kinds of flavors using their special seasonings below.

Gyoza Karaage Lunch 餃子・からあげランチ 1045 yen
This lunch set meal includs Niku-soba, dumplings (3p) and fried chicken (2p).
I have tried 5 kinds of ramen that are offered in Marugen Ramen.
I honestly recommend trying their delicious and reasonable Niku-soba 肉そば ramen as it is the best choice among the 5 different items.
Although the others are also tasty, they are not as surprisingly delicious compared to other typical ramen you can find in ramen shops.
I will definitely be eating the Niku-soba 肉そば again sometime.
Dumplings 餃子:
When you order dumplings, you can decide whether you want garlic or not. Both items are the same price.
餃子だれ (Dumpling sauce) and どろだれラー油 (Very thick chili oil) are good for eating dumplings!

八味 (8 kinds of mixed peppers)
酢 (Vinegar)
拉麺胡椒 (Pepper for ramen)

It is spicy pickles, and goes well with white rice / fried rice.

Information
MARUGEN RAMEN 丸源ラーメン has many restaurants all over Japan but for some reason, they are still unknown by international tourists.
Most of their restaurants are located in the suburbs which can be spacious and comfortable inside and have convenient large parking lots. Because they are generally located in residential neighborhoods, they aren't close to train stations or tourist attractions, unfortunately.
If you travel in Japan by car, a trip to one of these ramen restaurants is well worth the drive. Enjoy their delicious ramen!

Other ramen shops
Making sounds like "Zu zu zu ..." when slurping noodles is the customary way that Japanese eat noodles. It is not bad manners in Japan.
One of the reasons is that when you mix a lot of soup with a lot of air in your mouth you can taste more of their flavors. However, it would be better to keep the sound to a minimum.
Another reason is that when ramen shops usually offer ramen with very hot temperature soup and noodles, you can cool them off by slurping.
(Most Japanese people don't like tepid ramen.)
