What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

A celebrated soba restaurant in Hokuto, Yamanashi, carrying on the tradition of master soba chef Kunihiro Takahashi (Okina Daruma group). Stone-ground, house-milled buckwheat flour yields intensely fragrant hand-cut noodles. Lines form before opening; lunch service only in a charming mountain farmhouse setting. Tabelog 3.61/427. TripAdvisor 4.5.

Reviewers rave: 'Lines of 10+ before opening', 'The aroma is completely different – this is real soba', 'Worth the drive from Tokyo', 'Queues of 2-3 hours'. Tabelog 3.61/427 reviews; TripAdvisor 4.5/31. Weekend waits of up to 2 hours reported.
