From the shop (official announcement)
Whole chicken and chicken bones simmered for 8 hours for a deep broth, with tuna flakes for a seafood note and naturally brewed soy sauce aged in wooden barrels — a crisp shoyu ramen.
原文:丸鶏と鶏ガラを8時間かけてじっくり抽出し鶏本来の旨味を生かしたコク深いスープに鮪節で魚介の風味をプラスして、木桶で熟成させた天然醸造醤油を合わせたキレのある醤油らーめん

Reviews and eating tips
What people say
Reviews of the Umeda main shop (on a travel site) praise the tender pork of the 'toro-niku' ramen and the omelette fried rice. The main shop is known for tonkotsu; this whole-chicken shoyu is a lighter, separate style.
Eating tips
A light chicken broth, but the official allergen listing also includes pork, milk and egg. Light does not mean cool — mind the heat.
