What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

A long-established ramen restaurant in Kuji City, Iwate. Founded in 1948, with 78 years of history. The 'Katsu Ramen' — with freshly fried pork cutlet over pure chicken broth — is the signature dish, drawing the comment 'once you try it, you can't go back to regular ramen.' The clear broth uses a whole chicken (not just carcass), creating unmatched depth. Once featured at the Shin-Yokohama Ramen Museum. 3 minutes walk from Kuji Station. A branch exists in Sendai. Tabelog 3.51/212 reviews.

Reviews say 'Astonishing katsu ramen — once you try it you're hooked,' 'A must-visit institution when coming to Kuji,' '78 years of unchanged flavor proves it's the real deal.' Tabelog 3.51/212 reviews, TripAdvisor Kuji #3 (4.0/18 reviews).
