What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

Located on the approach to Yakuoji Temple, this was the first restaurant opened by a town-transplant in Minami-cho. Known for Japanese cuisine and set meals using locally caught fish (direct from local fishermen) and Tokushima's Awa Odori brand chicken. Lines form 10 minutes before opening, with some waiting up to an hour. Tabelog 3.54 / 116 reviews. Officially recommended by Minami-cho Tourism Association. Prices 1,000-2,000 yen.

Tabelog 3.54 / 116 reviews, TripAdvisor 3.8 (ranked #2 in Minami-cho). 'A must-visit in Tokushima,' 'the Awa Odori chicken karaage is unlike anything else,' 'queues before opening,' 'you can feel the commitment to local ingredients.' Despite being opened by an in-migrant, deeply rooted in the local community. No sakura suspicion.
