What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

A local favorite tonkotsu ramen shop in Jonishi, Kagoshima. Famous for akamarutonkotsu topped with mounds of local green onions, finished with 300-degree hot oil. Only 10 counter seats, yet lines form regularly. Two locations only (Josai and Arata). Google rating 4.4 with 314 reviews (Sept 2024).

Highly rated by locals and visitors alike for its garlic-and-onion-loaded ramen. Known for the heartwarming gesture of handing out breath mints after the meal. TripAdvisor 4.5/5.
