What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

A tonkotsu ramen institution with over half a century of history in Izumi City. The signature moyashi ramen features a mountain of green onions in a distinctive style that became so popular it was made into a cup ramen product in Kagoshima Prefecture. Lines form at lunch, known as the most popular ramen shop in Izumi along National Route 3. Tabelog reviews: 1,334 (most in Izumi City), TripAdvisor 4.4/5 (3rd in Izumi). The tonkotsu broth is rich with a slight sweetness that pairs perfectly with thin noodles. Closed briefly in autumn 2024 after the founder's passing, reopened March 2025.

Tabelog 1,334 reviews (most in Izumi City), TripAdvisor 4.4/5 (3rd in Izumi). 'Bunchan is the ramen of Izumi' is now an established local saying, and the shop's fame extends to a cup ramen product launch in Kagoshima. Lunch queues documented across multiple food blogs. Reviews highlight 'an abnormal amount of green onions' and 'addictively sweet broth.' Closed briefly in autumn 2024 after founder's passing; confirmed reopened March 2025 and operating October 2025. No sakura suspicion.
