What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

A niboshi (dried sardine) ramen specialty shop opened in 2018 in Oikuma, Watari Town. The soup, described as 'the completed form of niboshi,' was developed through the owner's self-taught journey. The old Japanese house with the scent of dried scallops wafting outside sets the Showa-retro mood. As Southern Miyagi's premier niboshi specialist, it boasts 3,787 Tabelog saves and 152 reviews. Opens at 9am on weekends; may sell out early.

Tabelog 3.52, 152 reviews, 3,787 saves. Yahoo Maps 4.35/54 reviews. LINE Place 4.3/42 reviews. Retty 96% recommend (8 reviews). Customers say 'the depth of niboshi is one-of-a-kind,' 'worth lining up from morning,' and 'the best ramen in Watari.' No fake review reports.
