What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

A 40+ year-old specialty restaurant for live shellfish and shrimp, the only one of its kind in Kochi City. Famous for 'kaizoku-yaki' (live shellfish boldly grilled over charcoal) and 'kai-meshi' (rice simmered with clam broth for an hour). TripAdvisor ranked 63rd of 2,656 restaurants in Kochi.

Reviews often say 'if you want shellfish in Kochi, this is the only choice' and 'once you try kaizoku-yaki, you can't forget it.' The chef's craft, unchanged for 40+ years, keeps regulars coming back.
