JINYA restaurant opens more DC ramen bars

By Jeff Clabaugh

JINYA Ramen Bar will open two new locations in D.C. this spring.

The California-based restaurant picked the D.C. area for its first East Coast location almost a decade ago. With the latest locations, it brings the number of its restaurants in D.C. to four and in the D.C. metro area to eight.

A JINYA will open in the Georgetown neighborhood at 1525 Wisconsin Ave. NW, and at 1259 4th St. NE in the Union Market neighborhood.

JINYA’s menu includes a variety of different broths and toppings. Slow-cooked broths are the focal point of ramen dishes, and JINYA uses only Fuji brand water for making its broths.

Its menus also include small plates, salads, rice bowls, curry and desserts.

JINYA opened its first East Coast location in Merrifield’s Mosaic District in Fairfax, Virginia, in 2016.

JINYA, a name for a Samurai soldier, was founded in Tokyo by restaurateur Tomo Takahashi in 2000. He opened the first U.S. JINYA Ramen Bar in California in 2010. It currently has 60 U.S. locations.

Here’s when you don’t have to tip

By U.S. News & World Report
The rules for tipping have evolved over the years. Now, with grocery delivery, Uber drivers, Amazon drivers, carryout food, pet groomers, and on and on, it feels like there are more opportunities to empty our wallets. If you're grumpy about tipping, it's probably because norms have changed. It has "become less discretionary, and the tipping percentage has also increased," says Shelle Santana, an assistant professor of marketing at Bentley University in Waltham, Massachusetts. Santana's research focuses in part on the psychology of money, and plenty of emotions are tied up in how we give money.
