What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

A venerable sazae (turban shell) specialty shop founded in 1956 on Toba's Sazae Street, steps from Toba Station. Live shells are kept in seawater tanks for maximum freshness, then grilled by former ama (sea divers) who know exactly when to pull them. Rated 4.5 on TripAdvisor and 4.3 on LINE PLACE.

'Always stop here when I come to Toba.' 'The freshness is unmatched — grilled alive straight from the seawater tank.' 'Best sazae tsubo-yaki in the area.' 'Grilled by former ama divers, so the fire level is perfect.' Long-time repeat visitors aplenty.
