What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

A soul food restaurant in Kakuda since 1971, now run by the second generation. The pitch-black soy broth known as 'Kakuda Black' is surprisingly not salty — instead rich in umami and depth. Ramen at just 700 JPY. Regulars keep arriving on weekdays; lines are the norm. TripAdvisor #1 in Kakuda (4.3/5). Tabelog 3.55/283 reviews. The mascot cat adds to the Showa-era retro charm.

Reviews consistently say: 'After noon, regulars fill the shop,' 'Shocked that the jet-black soup isn't salty at all,' 'This is always first stop in Kakuda.' TripAdvisor #1 in Kakuda. 283 Tabelog reviews. Retty also full of local repeat-visitor voices. A genuine beloved shop for over 50 years since 1971.
