Positive Review Trends

- Despite the strong appearance, the base soup is surprisingly light and easy to drink to the last drop
- The deep-simmered oden is excellent and serves as the perfect appetizer while waiting for your main dish
- Eating in a “holy land” surrounded by signatures from countless celebrities (including Fukuyama) is a thrill for many
Areas for Improvement
- Being one of the most famous shops in Nagasaki, it often has long lines, especially on weekends
- The atmosphere and service reflect an old-school “street stall” (yatai) vibe, which might not suit those seeking modern, polished service
