What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

Founded in 1712 (Shotoku 2), this is a 300-year-old soba restaurant serving as the official soba supplier to the Uesugi clan of the Yonezawa Domain, now in its 13th generation. The signature dish is Wariko Soba, served in stacked boxes with different seasonal condiments for each tier. Uncompromising freshness: ground, made, and boiled on-site. No branch locations — the original only.

Regulars say: 'The aroma and firmness are in a class of their own.' 'The right move is to arrive right at opening since they close when sold out.' 'A must-stop whenever I come to Yonezawa.' Over 1,986 saves on Tabelog. 251 want-to-go on Retty. Introduced by local inn proprietress as a top local spot.
