What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

A legendary Saga ramen shop since 1998. The 'Yobimodoshi Soup,' made only from pork femur bones, paired with light soy sauce and salt tare, creates a clear yet deeply umami broth. Tabelog Top 100 and Michelin Plate awardee. Lines form even on weekday lunches.

Reviews praise it as 'the essence of Saga ramen,' 'tonkotsu with no funk but deep umami,' and 'a shop even other ramen chefs visit.' Tabelog Top 100 (2025) and Michelin Plate (2019) winner. Consistently ranked #1 in Saga.
