Fake reviews removed

A long-established ramen restaurant in the 'Kurikoma Kogen' area of Kurihara City. The signature broth concentrates the richness of chicken fat and umami, distinguished by the unique texture of wakame seaweed. Yahoo Maps 3.84–3.92/57–59 reviews (one of the highest ratings in Kurihara). A small neighborhood institution (6 counter seats, 3 tables) that fills with local regulars at lunchtime.

Reviews include: 'A big hit of chicken umami and chicken fat — slightly salty but addictively good,' 'The wakame texture is uniquely Nishiya,' 'A must every time I visit Kurihara.' Yahoo Maps 3.84–3.92/57–59 reviews — an unusually high rating for the sparsely populated Kurihara area.
