What kind of place?
Fake reviews removedFounded in 1964. Famous for the giant waraji katsu-don, a cutlet rice bowl with the massive cutlet hanging over the edges of the bowl. Free refills on rice, curry, dashi chazuke, and miso soup make it incredible value. A pilgrimage site for motorcyclists, with queues forming before opening on weekends. A beloved local institution in Obama, Fukui.
