What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

Opened in April 2021, 2 minutes walk from Itoigawa Station. Run by chef Hideto Watanabe, who spent years as head chef at a famous Chinese restaurant in Tokyo before returning to his hometown. Lines have formed ever since opening day. Mapo Tofu using locally-made 'Tokka Tofu' is exceptional. Yahoo Maps rating 4.28.

Reviews say: 'Why is authentic Sichuan cuisine in Itoigawa?', 'The mapo tofu is in a different league from anywhere else', 'So popular you have to make a reservation', 'I never imagined Chinese food of this quality in Itoigawa'.
