What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

A rising star that opened in October 2021 by a self-taught ramen researcher who was a college student, quickly earning the reputation as 'the best in Chikuho.' Closed temporarily upon graduation but reopened in March 2023 driven by the owner's words 'I didn't want to turn my back on those who expected so much.' Features a clear, elegant soy sauce-based broth with chewy flat noodles and large chashu pork. Yahoo Maps 4.21. 111 Tabelog reviews (3.56). About 3 days per week operation. Featured in KBC Jimo Times and Chikuho Info Magazine WING.

Many surprised reviews say 'unbelievable this quality was achieved self-taught by a college student,' 'a presence that changed the Chikuho ramen scene,' 'the beauty of the clear soy broth is unlike anything else.' Yahoo Maps 4.21, Tabelog 3.56 (111 reviews) — extraordinary ratings for a young shop. The drama of closing and reopening shows deep local support.
