What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

Selected for Tabelog Ramen TOKYO Top 100 for 8 consecutive years since 2017. A pioneer that led Tokyo's thick niboshi ramen boom. Ultra-low hydration fine straight noodles paired with a rich broth that extracts every bit of bitterness, umami and aroma from dried sardines. Just 7 counter seats, yet a landmark in the industry. Tabelog 3.79, 2,491 reviews. 1 min from Iriya Station.

Consistently called 'the pioneer of Tokyo niboshi ramen', 'genuinely deserves 8 consecutive Top 100 selections', and 'a must when visiting Iriya'. X posts continue: 'Haru is essential when talking about niboshi ramen'.
