What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

A seafood and sushi landmark in Arahama, the birthplace of harako-meshi, founded in 1993. Selected for Tabelog's 'Japanese Cuisine EAST Top 100 Restaurants 2023.' For the autumn specialty harako-meshi (salted salmon and salmon roe rice), only premium male autumn salmon is used, and the salmon roe undergoes a careful 'polishing' process to remove the thin membrane. Local seasonal fish and surf clam dishes are also exceptional. An overwhelming 10,201 Tabelog saves.

Tabelog 3.62, 357 reviews, 10,201 saves, Top 100 Restaurants 2023. Yahoo Maps 4.32/80 reviews. Customers say 'worth the trip just for the harako-meshi,' 'preserving Miyagi's traditional cuisine,' and 'the fluffy salmon is in a different league.' Especially crowded in autumn (September-November). No fake review reports.
