Located near Georgetown University, the restaurant will mark the first JINYA location in the area, the sixth in Washington, D.C..

To celebrate the opening, JINYA will host a grand opening event on Jan. 23, offering the first 100 guests free ramen on their next visit.

“We’re proud to open our sixth JINYA Ramen Bar in Washington, D.C., this time in the heart of Georgetown,” said Tomo Takahashi, founder and CEO of JINYA Holdings Inc. “This neighborhood’s charm, history and vibrant energy make it the perfect place to continue growing our presence in the District and share our passion for authentic Japanese ramen with even more locals and students.”

At JINYA, ramen is more than a meal — it’s an experience. Guests can indulge in slow-simmered, thick, flavorful broths perfectly paired with handcrafted noodles. Toppings like tender pork chashu, shrimp wonton and seasoned eggs add depth to every bowl, while small plates and craft beer selections complete the dining experience. With a commitment to authentic flavors and quality ingredients, JINYA brings an elevated take on traditional ramen. JINYA is ramen culture, where the relationship between broth and noodles is at the heart of every dish.
