Fake reviews removed

Founded in 1946, this 80-year-old Chinese diner tucked in an alley near Okayama Station is a sacred spot of Showa-era town Chinese cuisine. Only 10 seats, run by a couple. Regulars span generations — 'I've been coming for 50 years since childhood to now.' The jajamen spicy noodles (extra hot level) induce profuse sweating. Fried rice with soup is still 800 yen. Ranked 8th in Okayama City Chinese Google reviews (4.2pt, 143 reviews, Nov 2024). Irregular holidays — strongly recommended to call ahead.

Google 4.2 (143 reviews). 8th in Okayama City Chinese Google reviews (Nov 2024). Praised as 'the holy land of Okayama town Chinese food,' 'regulars who have come for 50 years,' 'the heat of jajamen is real,' 'I always stop here on business trips.' Gogai NET Okayama coverage in July 2023. TripAdvisor review from Sept 2025 confirms ongoing operation. No sakura suspicion.
