What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

A veteran diner said to be one of Yamagata's 'Four Heavenly Kings' of ramen, founded in 1970. Features hand-kneaded curly noodles made daily and a rich, slow-cooked broth. Lunch-only with closing when soup runs out — a testament to its local popularity. Renovated and relocated to the adjacent property in September 2025.

Locals say: 'The real taste of one of Yamagata's Four Kings.' 'The hand-kneaded noodles have the best texture.' 'Lunch only but the parking lot fills up instantly.' Yahoo! Maps 3.96 stars. 3,905 Tabelog saves.
