What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

A handmade soba specialist near Takato Castle ruins using stone-ground flour from their own mill. Since opening, their style has been to mill four types of buckwheat using four electric mills and hand stone mills, then serve each freshly boiled. The unique 'Takato Soba' is eaten with dipping broth made from grilled miso dissolved in mackerel dashi - a Shinshu-origin way of eating. Featured on Matsuko Deluxe's TV show. Consistent queues year-round.

Rich reviews: 'the stone-ground flour creates a wonderful aroma,' 'Takato Zanmai shows the difference between varieties clearly,' 'the grilled miso dipping broth is uniquely Takato,' 'queues form regardless of season, worth the wait.' Consistent high praise.
