What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

A no-frills popular diner right in front of Shimokita Station, the northernmost railway station on Honshu. From the local speciality miso kayaki (scallops grilled in a shell with miso and egg) to the regulars' favourite ramen-and-fried-rice combo and the JS Chikuma curry recreated from a JMSDF Ominato Base recipe (20 servings a day), it feeds the town with honest food and generous portions.

Locals and rail travellers praise the cheap, filling meals by the station and the authentic miso kayaki. Many love the old-school diner atmosphere.

Access
Right in front of JR Shimokita Station (1 minute on foot); ample parking. An old-school diner with tatami and table seating; the Japanese menu has photos, so pointing works. Cash is safest. The JS Chikuma curry is limited to 20 servings a day (not served Thursdays).
