What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

A pilgrimage site for Jiro-style ramen fans, inherited through the master-disciple system. 2 min walk from Nakayama Station South Exit. Tabelog Ramen KANAGAWA Top 100 for 6 consecutive years (2020-2025). Score 3.75 with 1,216 reviews. Counter seating only (13 seats). Cash only. You can customise toppings by calling 'ninniku' (garlic), 'yasai' (vegetables), 'abura' (extra fat), and 'karame' (extra soy).

Queue from opening time. Pork is tender and high quality. Non-emulsified, relatively clean soup. Noodles have great texture. Friendly staff, one of the more approachable Jiro outlets.
