Ramen that is both unique and flavorful" Since we first opened in 2001, Tajima has been satisfying San Diego’s growing hunger for authentic Japanese cuisine and ramen that is both unique and flavorful. Thanks to owner Sam Morikizono and his talented staff, Tajima has earned a reputation as one of San Diego’s top Japanese restaurants. Everything we serve honors the purity of Japanese taste and style, and our irresistible selection of ramens are made from scratch. You will enjoy dining at our tastefully decorated restaurants, which offer community tables and private seating areas, along with artful décor and lighting.
