What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

A storied coffee shop founded in 1979, famous for its cave-like underground space in Kichijoji. Hidden away beneath the Daiya Street arcade. The signature 'Kugutsuso Curry' - unchanged since opening - is renowned for the sweetness of slow-cooked onions balanced with spice. Has been selected for Tabelog 100 Best Restaurants.

Reviews consistently say 'I always come here when I'm in Kichijoji,' 'the taste hasn't changed in over 40 years,' and 'the cave-like atmosphere is the best.' Maintains a stable Tabelog rating of 3.72 with 1,762 reviews over many years.
