What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

Opened August 2019. The pioneering 'soft-noodle' jiro-style ramen shop in the Kansai region. Unlike conventional jiro shops that use chewy thick noodles, Kudo opts for a softer, chewier thick noodle that complements the creamy, concentrated broth. Customizable extra vegetables. Strict food-ticket system, 12 seats. 3-min walk from Kishibe Station. Queues guaranteed even weekday lunchtimes — the definitive jiro-style pilgrimage spot in Kansai.

Reviews frequently rave: 'The only serious jiro-style in Kansai,' 'the softness of the noodles perfectly matches the thick soup,' and 'the extra vegetable portion is incredible.' Google Maps 4.12 (110 reviews), Tabelog 3.51 (324 reviews). Many loyal fans brave the queue every visit.
