What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

Opened in 2012, this is a standout Takayama ramen shop featuring soy broth simmered for 10+ hours and thin wavy noodles. The menu is simply 'Chinese noodle soup.' Popular with tourists at lunch and locals at night. Following its Takayama success, a sister shop 'Bettei' opened in Gifu City in March 2025. Tabelog 3.57 (632 reviews). TripAdvisor 3.9/5 (71 reviews).

"Perfect late-night stop for locals after drinks," "The 10-hour broth is profound," "15 people in line 15 minutes before opening." Tabelog 3.57 (632 reviews). Used by tourists at lunch and locals at night—a true multi-purpose gem.
