What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

Founded in 1965. The authentic pioneer of Tokushima's tarai udon (noodles in a wooden basin), eaten beside the babbling Miyagauchi River. Handmade thick noodles with egg kneaded in, served with a secret broth made from over a dozen ingredients including dried sardines, kelp, and bonito. Also famous for fried river crabs. An authentic taste of Tokushima in a scenic mountain valley setting.

Tabelog 3.44 / 120 reviews (impressive for a rural udon shop). TripAdvisor 4/5, ranked #2 of restaurants in Awa City. Reviews praise: 'best noodle chewiness,' 'great value for the volume,' 'perfect riverside atmosphere,' 'loved by locals for generations.' No sakura suspicion.
