The secret to a delicious ra- men are two key ingredients (the broth and the noodles), and the local has a discerning pal- ate. This made me curious to see what made this ramen different.
JINYA Ramen Bar founder Tomo Takahashi knows what it takes to sat- isfy food connoisseurs. Growing up in Japan, his father owned a suc- cessful izakaya restaurant named Jinya. Taking on his father’s legacy, Takahashi opened his first JINYA in Tokyo in 2000. Fast-forward to Au- gust 2022, and Hawaii was the 49th JINYA Ramen Bar to open (in the previous Nobu location), along with two other concepts, Robata JINYA (Honolulu is the second location af- ter California) and the first-ever LBD Japanese Bar & Lounge concept to the brand.
