Tajima Ramen is Turning 25 and the Whole Month is a Celebration

San Diego’s own Tajima Ramen is marking 25 years with a full month of throwback specials, DJ nights, ramen deals, giveaways, and community events across its six San Diego locations.

Since Sam Morikizono opened the first location in 2001, Tajima has played a defining role in shaping San Diego’s ramen scene – and this June, they’re celebrating that legacy in style.

A Month of Events Worth Knowing About

The anniversary programming runs all month long with something different every week:

Throwback Menu
Anniversary DJ Night
Two Ramens for $25 + Free Extra Noodles
All-Day Happy Hour
10lb Ramen Challenge featuring @rainaiscrazy
Anniversary Giveaway Week
Anime-Themed Parfait Party with Parfait Party SD

It’s a packed month that gives regulars and newcomers alike a reason to show up – whether you’re chasing a deal, a DJ set, or just a bowl of ramen with extra noodles on the house.

25 Years of Ramen in San Diego

What started as a single ramen shop has grown into six locations across the city, including the recently launched Noodle Room where guests can watch fresh noodles being made from scratch daily.

Twenty-five years in, Tajima remains one of San Diego’s most recognized and beloved Japanese restaurant concepts – and this month is a proper tribute to that legacy.
