What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

Founded in 1962, this long-established diner in Kunugizuka, Nanyo has over 60 years of history. The standout feature is the house-made hand-kneaded medium-thick flat noodles — their elastic, ultra-hydrated texture is one-of-a-kind. The lean, lightly seasoned seafood broth pairs perfectly, earning praise for 'transforming character through the noodle.' Yahoo Maps 3.93/39 reviews, Tabelog 3.41/114 reviews, TripAdvisor 5.0/2 reviews. Packed at lunchtime — a local institution. Non-smoking throughout, parking available.

Reviews say 'Every slurp of the noodles makes you happy,' 'Nostalgic, simple flavor — delicious and never tiring,' and 'The house-made hand-kneaded noodles are one of a kind.' Yahoo Maps 3.93/39 reviews, Tabelog 3.41/114 reviews.
