What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

Established in 1968, this old-school Kagoshima ramen shop has been in the Tenmonkan arcade for over 55 years. Features a light pork-and-chicken broth, medium-thick straight noodles, generous scallions, bean sprouts, and thick homemade chashu. Steady high ratings: Google 4.0/258 reviews, Tabelog 3.54/480.

Beloved by locals for its 'unchanging nostalgic flavor', 'a must-visit in Tenmonkan', and 'Kagoshima's taste since 1968'. The aroma of fried scallions is iconic.
