Ramen Jiro opens new Okinawa shop, highlights Chiba branch
On June 21, 2026 the ramen chain Ramen Jiro launched its first outlet in Okinawa, located at 1‑6‑16 Tsuboya, Naha. The restaurant serves the brand’s signature high‑calorie ramen with extra garlic and offers a vending‑machine‑dispensed drink called “Guilty Carbonation NOPE”, a sugary beverage introduced by Suntōri that can be obtained for free through a mobile app.
The piece also details the nearby Ramen Jiro store in Chiba‑city (1‑7‑8 Chūō, Chiba), reachable by a short train ride from Tokyo. Reviewers note the shop’s quick service, clear queue rules, and a typical topping mix of abundant garlic, pork fat, quail egg, ginger and powdered cheese, underscoring the chain’s expanding presence across Japan.
