Tabelog 3.67, 1,016 reviews. Yahoo Maps 4.24, 162 reviews. Many praise the 7-generation secret sauce is exquisite. Listed by Kawagoe Tourism Association, Jalan. 219-year history is proof of authenticity. Some reviews note tourist-pricing, but price range 3 (3,000-5,000 yen) is within criteria. No PR.
