What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

A long-established ramen restaurant founded in 1951 in Komatsushima City, originally as a street stall 'Kagetu Okamoto.' Said to be the birthplace of Tokushima's 'white style' ramen (pork bone and chicken stock base), now maintained by the third generation. The milky white clear soup achieves a perfect balance of sweetness and richness, pairing brilliantly with Awa pork chashu. Tabelog 3.59, 510 reviews, TripAdvisor No.1 in Komatsushima City. 20-space parking lot; the soul food of Komatsushima where locals come daily.

Reviews praise 'the origin of Tokushima's white style, preserved by the third generation,' 'the unique sweetness and richness of the milky white soup,' and 'must-eat whenever I return to Komatsushima.' Yahoo! Maps 4.14 / 127 reviews. Introduced as a 'legendary restaurant with guaranteed queues' by Tokushima Shimbun. Long-form regular customer posts on Tabelog express gratitude for 'the unchanged taste since the Showa era.' Listed in Ramen Database and endorsed by East Tokushima Tourism Promotion Organization.
