What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

One of the most popular ramen shops in Kanoya, in business for over 22 years. The signature tonkotsu-soy sauce ramen features thick, tender chashu pork. Lunch lines are common, and loyal regulars come from outside the prefecture as well. Don't miss the black pork gyoza.

Many regulars say 'I always stop by when I'm in Kanoya' or 'I go every time I'm back in Kagoshima.' Highly rated on both Tabelog and Yahoo Maps. Also drew attention at the 2018 Kagoshima Ramen Championship.
