A ramen place that uses chicken and fish broth as the base and others to give it a complex flavor. Got the Hanabi ramen and it's easily one of the best on flavor alone compared to some more famous places in the Tokyo metro area.

If I'm not mistaken, the noodles are boiled in the fish broth, not water. If so, it explains another depth of flavor. I'd go into the tare and oil, but I don't think I want to give all this guy's secrets from what I've seen.
