What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

Live fish restaurant run by a fish wholesaler for over 30 years. Features Yamaguchi's largest 50-ton live fish tank with squid swimming inside—ordered, then extracted and cooked before your eyes. 5-min walk from Higashi-Hagi Station. TripAdvisor #1 in Hagi.

Reviews often say 'the live squid is fresh with superb texture' and 'the theatrical presentation creates a special experience.' Retty score 4.32. Slightly higher price point, but the origin freshness and experience make it worth it for locals and tourists alike.
