What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

A hand-made soba and udon restaurant facing Takataki Shrine on the shores of Lake Takataki in Ichihara. Beloved regulars call it 'Top 3 soba in Chiba Prefecture.' Google Maps 4.5, 105 reviews. The firm, fragrant hand-pulled noodles sell out and the restaurant closes early. Some regulars travel 2 hours just for the udon. Popular with visitors combining a trip to Takataki Shrine. There is a rumored 'secret menu' sesame sauce. Photography is prohibited inside the charming old-house interior.

"A friend said it's top 3 soba in Chiba and brought me here — they were absolutely right." "Been coming for over 10 years. The udon's texture is the best." "Always stop by after visiting Takataki Shrine." "The irori atmosphere inside surprised me at first."
