What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

A Saga-style tonkotsu ramen landmark established in 1975, located at the gateway to Takeo Onsen with a view of Mt. Mifune. Founded by a former Western-chef, the perfectly emulsified milky-white broth has been kept unchanged since day one. The Saga ramen tradition of a raw egg topping makes the richness even more silky. Tabelog 3.54 (288 reviews), Ramen DB #2 in Takeo (92.386). Lunch only—closes when soup sells out, so arrive early.

Reviews: 'The essence of Saga ramen,' 'The finely emulsified broth is one of a kind,' 'Unchanged for 50 years,' 'The queue never stops before noon,' 'Worth a one-hour drive.' Tabelog 3.54 (288 reviews), TripAdvisor 3.9 (Takeo #13).
