What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

One of Saitama's premier jiro-inspired ramen shops, a legendary destination in Higashikawaguchi. Selected for Tabelog Ramen EAST Top 100 in 2017, 2018, 2024, and 2025 (four times total). Tabelog 3.71/887 reviews—among the highest review counts for any Kawaguchi ramen shop. Located next to Commodai Iida Higashikawaguchi store. Two locations only (Higashikawaguchi main + Kuki branch), independently owned. Famous for customizable toppings (extra veggies, garlic, soy, fat). Regulars often visit twice a week. Sells out early—arrive before noon on busy days.

「For jiro-inspired ramen in Saitama, this is the only choice. A sacred site for serious fans.」「The extra-veggie-garlic call gets addictive. I come twice a week.」「Four-time Top 100. At this price for this quality, something's wrong.」「Worth traveling to. The pride of Kawaguchi ramen.」
