I went to a ramen shop - HANABI- in Shinjuku last night before picking up my daughter at her cram school.
Although the shop seems to be popular according to some of ramen blogs, the shop was not crowded at all when I went there around 8PM.
I ordered 'Negi (Green onion) ramen' - 800 yen. I was glad to see there were a few pieces of charshu, which is not normal for the other ramen shops. If you don't order 'Charshu ramen', you usually get only a piece of sliced charshu. By the way, charshu is a thinly sliced roasted pork. The charshu in this shop was really good.
Recently, most of ramen soup comes with strong fish flavor. But the soup here doesn't. It came with decent soy source flavor with slightly roasted green onion. Though the soup was a kind of light one, I liked the taste very much.
Shinjuku has tens of good ramen shops. I'm sure I'll come back to this shop after visiting other major shops in this area.
On Friday, I went to OGAWA-YA with my colleagues for lunch.
Ogawa-ya offers good and solid Hachioji ramen. I had Charshu men.
