What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

A popular ramen shop in Ushiku specializing in rich chicken paitan ramen. Unique bowl featuring broth simmered 10+ hours over high heat, combined with a soy tare containing clam stock and fresh garlic, finished with mayu oil. 2,996 Twitter followers, 238 Tabelog reviews (updated). Graduate of 'Shoku no Dojo' ramen school.

Reviews say 'rich but not heavy, the mayu oil accent is addictive' and 'people queue before lunch opens'. Tabelog 3.52/238 reviews (updated), TripAdvisor 4.5/5. Craftsmanship of a ramen school graduate shines.
