What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

Founded in 1949, a pioneer of the Shakojin-mae (streetcar depot) style of Wakayama ramen. Originating from a street stall in front of the streetcar depot, the 3rd-generation owner preserves the traditional soy-pork bone broth. Google 4.0 stars / 663 reviews (Nettabo Research March 2025). Only 3 locations in the city (main, Funatsucho, Minato). Lunch-only; closes when broth sells out.

Reviewers call it the true originator of the Wakayama shako-mae ramen style. The flavor is unchanged from the Showa era. A light soy-based broth loved by all ages. May sell out by early afternoon.
