What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

A legendary champon noodle shop founded in 1905 in Reihoku-machi, Amakusa. Sometimes called 'Japan's best champon' or counted among the 'Three Great Champon of Japan.' Featured on TBS TV programs and beloved by broadcaster Shin'ichiro Yasumi. Open only 3 days a week, lunch only, with delivery orders prioritized — a stubborn style maintained for over 100 years. Menu is just two items: champon, and champon with egg. Sells out during holidays due to delivery demand. Built on local culture of shared seating (相席). Remarkably priced at 600-700 yen.

Reviews rave: 'How can something be this delicious and this cheap?' 'The gravity of a century-old institution.' 'The shared-seating local culture is fascinating.' Tabelog 3.57/73 reviews (remarkable for a shop open only 3 days/week), TripAdvisor 4.5/16. Negative reviews only mention confusing systems (shared seating, delivery priority) — zero criticism of the food.
