What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

A fishermen's canteen right in front of Kesennuma Fish Market. After unloading their catch, local fishermen bathe at the adjoining Tsurukame public bath and eat here — it's woven into the fabric of the fishing community. 'Harbor mothers' cook the day's market catch in traditional local style. 93% recommendation rate on Retty. Opens at 7am — perfect for an early Kesennuma breakfast.

Reviews highlight: 'sashimi fresh off the boat is incomparable,' 'real harbor town food eaten alongside fishermen,' 'shark katsu-don is unique to this place,' 'incredible seafood teishoku starting at 7am,' 'Retty's 93% recommendation rate is earned.' Tabelog: 117 reviews, 3.43. No sakura suspicion.
