What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

The birthplace of Kure Cold Noodles (Kure Reimen). This long-established shop started as a food stall after WWII. Characterized by sweet-and-sour chicken-based broth with soy sauce, chili, and sesame, topped on flat noodles. Expect queues of 20-30 people on weekends. Closes when sold out. Ticket machine system, 20 seats.

Many repeat visitors say 'Always come here when in Kure' and 'The high-hydration flat noodles are incredible.' Queues even on weekday lunches, yet people keep coming back. 494 Tabelog reviews (as of April 2026). Tripadvisor 4.0/5, ranked #2 in Kure.
