What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

A takeout-only steamed chicken shop known locally as 'the KFC of Tsukiyono.' Uses only domestic young chickens under 50 days old, steamed in the secret sauce passed down since the restaurant's founding using only the chicken's own moisture. Known for its light seasoning and juicy texture. A hidden gem regularly visited by Minakami residents.

Reviews say: 'Always buy this to take home when visiting Minakami,' 'Too iconic a local specialty of Tsukiyono,' 'The secret sauce is unique, completely different from other chicken,' 'Perfect as a car snack,' 'Have been eating this since I was a child.'
