What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

In front of Shiro-tsutsuji Park, about 13 minutes on foot from Nagai Station. Nagai City's top queue-forming ramen shop. Proudly no chemical seasonings or additives — 'a man's ramen' — with a rich broth packed with niboshi umami. Uses different noodles for ramen and tsukemen; limited menus rotate every two weeks. Extra-large challenge servings available. Yahoo Maps 4.33/22 reviews, Tabelog 97 reviews, 1,200 saves. Lines of 10+ people even before opening on weekdays. Single location.

Reviews say 'About 10 people were already in line before opening,' 'No-additive ramen — the niboshi-packed dashi hits hard,' and 'I visit regularly because I look forward to the monthly limited menu.' Yahoo Maps 4.33/22 reviews, Tabelog 97 reviews.
