JINYA Ramen Bar Introduces Summer Chef’s Specials and “Dragon Ball Z” Collectible Pin Collaboration
Seasonal offerings highlight savory and sweet flavors, available June 1 through Aug. 31
Los Angeles, CA (Restaurant News Release) JINYA Ramen Bar introduces its Summer Chef’s Specials, a limited-time lineup featuring new ramen and dessert creations from Chef Kazuya Takebe alongside a special pin collaboration celebrating “Dragon Ball Z,” the beloved episodic anime series from the global hit Dragon Ball franchise created by Akira Toriyama and produced by legendary studio Toei Animation.
At participating locations, guests can dive into the Creamy Tonkotsu Ramen, a rich pork and soy broth layered with pork chashu, seasoned egg, green onion, kikurage, leek, crispy garlic and garlic spicy miso, alongside the Hokkaido Mille Crepe, featuring rolled mille crêpe, vanilla ice cream, strawberry sauce and raspberry.
Guests who order the new Creamy Tonkotsu Ramen will receive a complimentary “Dragon Ball Z” pin featuring one of three exclusive designs: Goku, Vegeta or Shenron. Available while supplies last, these pins serve as a power-up to any bowl and add a collectible layer to the seasonal ramen experience. The Summer Chef’s Specials will also be available for online ordering; however, pins are exclusively available with dine-in orders.
JINYA is known for slow-simmered broths, signature noodles and an unforgettable dining experience, and continues to evolve its Chef’s Specials with innovative new dishes designed to keep the menu evolving throughout the year.
“This season is about pushing creativity while staying true to what makes ramen special,” said Tomo Takahashi, Founder and CEO of JINYA Ramen Bar. “With ‘Dragon Ball Z’ in the mix, it feels like we’re bringing a bit of that larger-than-life energy into the kitchen. The Chef’s Specials reflect that spirit of transformation – familiar comfort, elevated to its next form – while the collaboration creates an exciting experience for ‘Dragon Ball Z’ fans and ramen lovers alike.”
The Summer Chef’s Specials are available at participating locations systemwide, excluding Express locations, Wichita, Bushi, Ameristar Black Hawk and Eastvale. For more information or to find a nearby JINYA Ramen Bar, visit JINYARamenBar.com.
