Real ramen culture is expanding in South Carolina with the upcoming winter opening of JINYA Ramen Bar’s second location in the state.

The new location will host a Grand Opening celebration in Charleston’s vibrant East Central neighborhood on January 22. The first 100 guests in line at 11 a.m. will receive a free bowl of ramen. The new Charleston location promises to bring the brand’s signature bold flavors to the area, offering both long-time ramen fans and newcomers a taste of its traditional, high-quality dishes.

“Guests in Charleston love bold flavors and we’re thrilled to bring them what they crave,” said Founder and CEO Tomo Takahashi. “The community here has developed into an amazing hub for dining and retail, making it the perfect place to introduce our traditional ramen dishes.”

Once open, the new JINYA location in Charleston will serve guests from 11 a.m. – 10 p.m. daily Sunday through Thursday and 11 a.m. – 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday.

At JINYA, experience ramen like it is meant to be – with thick, rich broth in perfect balance with flavorful noodles.

JINYA is ramen culture, where the relationship between broth and noodles is a serious but delicious business.
