What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

A beloved ramen restaurant in central Tsu City, founded in 1999. The handmade noodles are kneaded and rested for 36 hours. The soy broth with dried shrimp aroma paired with melt-in-your-mouth chashu pork is exceptional. The signature 'Tsu Gyoza' — large handmade deep-fried dumplings bursting with savory juices — is a must. Featured in many media outlets; attracts visitors from outside the prefecture.

Reviews highlight: '730 yen for this handmade noodle quality is on another level,' 'The set with Tsu Gyoza is the best value,' 'Several groups wait outside on Saturday lunch.' Loved by locals and visitors alike since 1999 — over 25 years of popularity in Tsu.
