What kind of place?
Fake reviews removedA ramen shop near Kanazawa's Higashi Chaya district in Hashibacho, open since 1989. Many regulars visit as much for a chat with the talkative, energetic owner, Mr. Nakajima, as for the ramen; the walls are covered in Polaroid photos of loyal customers. Former Kanazawa University students still return as alumni decades later, making it a beloved local institution now in its 37th year.
A blogger who returned after 12 years praised the chashu as 'so tender it falls apart when lifted' and marveled that 'the beautiful presentation hasn't changed in 12 years.' One regular said, 'I wouldn't come here if it weren't for the owner.' The shop was also selected for Ishikawa's 'Zetsumeshi List' of beloved local eateries at risk of disappearing.
