What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

A long-established Chinese diner founded in 1947 (Showa 22) by the current 3rd-generation owner's grandmother. Current owner Shigeki Kumagai studied Chinese cuisine in Tokyo before reopening in 1998. The two signature dandan noodles — white and black — with a firm spice profile have made this one of the most famous ramen shops in Sanriku. Draws queues from outside the city and prefecture. After the 2011 tsunami, it served as a community gathering place for 5 years in a temporary Takekoma location. Now operates in Rikuzentakata Machinaka Terrace. TripAdvisor 4.5/#4 in Rikuzentakata (of 82); Tabelog 3.36/64 reviews; Featured on Rikuzentakata Tourism site 'Taka Navi.'

Reviews say 'The Sichuan pepper fragrance through the nose — authentic dandan noodles, truly moving to find this in Rikuzentakata,' 'A local pride that rose from the disaster,' 'The 3-generation old restaurant taste is one of a kind,' '750 yen for this quality is the best in Sanriku.' TripAdvisor 4.5/5, #4 in Rikuzentakata. Tabelog 3.36/64 reviews.
