— Jinya Ramen Bar is part of a growing Los Angeles-based chain — with 33 restaurants in the U.S. and Canada — that made San Jose’s Oakridge Mall its first Northern California. Tomonari Takahashi, the son of a restaurateur who operated an izakaya in Japan, opened the first of his seven Tokyo restaurants, Sabakuro Ebisu, in 2000 and his first Jinya Ramen Bar in the United States in 2010. The signature dish is Tonkotsu Black, a pork-based broth with pork chashu, kikurage (wood ear mushrooms), dried nori, seasoned egg, garlic chips, garlic oil and spicy sauce. Late June opening expected.
