What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

7 minutes walk from Hankyu Sonoda Station. Owner Yamada opened in 2021 after training at the popular Kiramen in Osaka. Signature is hand-made noodles crafted from 3 AM using a custom-blended Hokkaido wheat negotiated directly with the factory. Soup base is Satsuma Chiran Dori branded chicken from Kagoshima. Yahoo Maps 4.13 (70 reviews).

Reviews praise the beautifully-made noodles, deeply moving umami in the soup, the clean non-cloying quality of the chicken paitan, rapid lunch queues, and the craftsmanship evident in every detail. Tabelog 3.62 with 345 reviews.
