What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

This 'Japan's hardest-to-reach ramen shop,' opened by a former salaryman on Rishiri Island – Japan's northernmost inhabited island. The broth uses generous amounts of Rishiri kombu to draw out every drop of island umami. The signature 'Yaki Shoyu Ramen' is a must. Michelin Bib Gourmand in 2012 and 2017 Hokkaido editions. Remarkable 436 Tabelog reviews for a remote island. Exhibited at Shin-Yokohama Ramen Museum. In summer, the name-entry waiting system fills before opening.

"Worth coming all the way to Rishiri Island for. This kombu umami simply can't be replicated on the mainland." "Michelin BG twice for a reason. Got goosebumps at the first sip." "You need to register before opening to get a seat, but it's absolutely worth it."
