What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

Opened March 2017. A 9-seat counter-only ramen restaurant in a residential area, 8 minutes by car from Gamagori Station. The 'Matsuji Black,' featuring fragrant soy sauce from local brewer Morita, offers an elegant, mellow taste despite its appearance. Characterized by dashi from dried sardines, bonito, mackerel, and rausu kombu, with a yuzu accent. Ranked #1 in Gamagori on Ramen Database.

Reviewers rave about 'the chashu is exceptional, could eat endless pieces,' 'ramen of this caliber at this price is extraordinary,' and 'stylish atmosphere where women can dine alone comfortably.' TripAdvisor 4.0, 196 Tabelog reviews, score 3.53. #1 ramen in Gamagori (Ramen Database).
