From a press release:
“We are pleased to announce that JINYA Ramen Bar, a 4,000-square-foot, full-service, sit-down restaurant, is slated to open at 1336 14th Street NW [Ed. Note: Formerly Ghana Cafe.] in Washington D.C.’s Logan Circle early this summer.

JINYA Ramen Bar, a key player in sparking the Ramen Revolution in Los Angeles, currently has multiple locations across the United States, as well as throughout Canada. This will be the restaurant’s second location in the D.C. Metro area. JINYA Ramen Bar’s flagship east coast store opened in Fairfax’s Mosaic District in June 2016.
“We are so excited to bring JINYA to the nation’s capital,” remarked JINYA Ramen Bar’s Sam Shoja. “After seeing how welcoming the community was when JINYA opened in the Mosaic District, we knew we wanted to go bigger and expand to D.C. where diners have adventurous and sophisticated worldly palates.”
Inspired by JINYA Ramen Bar’s founder Tomonori Takahashi’s experiences with both Western and Eastern cultures, JINYA Ramen Bar specializes in authentic Tonkotsu ramen (heavily pork-influenced broth), boasting bold flavors and a wide variety of customizable options for the American palate. The intricate food preparation process includes simmering the broth for over 18 hours, which delivers a robust, flavorful experience.
First floor
Patrons can expect a wonderful dining experience, with JINYA Ramen Bar’s expansive menu offering something for everyone. JINYA Ramen Bar offers five broths as well as different dares and oils that alter the flavor profile of each dish. With over 20 different toppings to play with, guests are able to customize their experience. In addition to Tonkotsu ramen, JINYA Ramen Bar offers dishes such as the Spicy Chicken Ramen, Old Skool Ramen, Spicy Creamy Vegan Ramen, the “Cha Cha Cha” for garlic lovers, quinoa salads, various rice bowls, small plates and mini tacos — to name a few. Patrons will be able to pair their dishes with a selection from the beverage program including local craft beers; Japanese-inspired cocktails; sake/wine and seasonal, house-made, non-alcoholic beverages.
JINYA Ramen Bar’s 4,000-square-foot space, designed by LA-based Ikedo Design and D.C.-based Grupo 7, will span two floors and contain seating for up to 100 guests along with two full bars (one on each floor) and a 20-seat upstairs patio. The second floor will also be available for private events. JINYA Ramen Bar will be open daily for lunch, dinner and happy hour.”

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!
The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!
What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
