What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

An under-the-radar chuuka soba gem nestled in the mountain village of Tanbara-cho. Open mornings only, closing when sold out. Clear, light soy broth anchored by dried sardine dashi. Tabelog 3.46 (126 reviews), a top-ranked ramen in Saijo.

'Can't believe a restaurant this good is out in the mountains.' 'The clear niboshi broth is exceptional — simple yet deep.' 'Always a thrill wondering if we'll make it before they sell out.' 126 Tabelog reviews — remarkable for a small rural shop.
