What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

A long-established Kumamoto ramen shop since 1980. Despite being a small place in a residential neighborhood, it counts celebrities like Cream Stew among its regulars, with a wall full of famous signatures. The broth made by simmering pork head bones for 8 hours is described as 'rich but not off-putting'—the reason locals keep coming back. Featured in multiple media as a beloved local ramen institution.

Reviews often mention 'famous as a regular haunt of the comedy duo Cream Stew,' 'a Showa-era gem quietly tucked in a residential area,' 'always full right at opening time,' and 'the quintessential Kumamoto ramen broth—light yet flavorful.' Tabelog 3.57 with 489 reviews.
