What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

The birthplace of kawara soba since 1962. Created by founder Shinichi Takase inspired by Satsuma soldiers cooking on roof tiles during the Seinan War. Served in a 100-year-old traditional building on sizzling roof tiles. Open weekends only, drawing lines from outside the prefecture.

Reviewers say: 'A one-of-a-kind dish you must try when visiting Yamaguchi,' 'The sizzling sound and aroma on the hot tile is perfection,' 'A shame it's only open weekends.' Tabelog 3.53/789 reviews.
