Following the success of Tsujita LA, Tsujita ANNEX was born in 2013. Tsujita ANNEX originated as a restaurant called Ramen BARIO in Tokyo, Japan. It became widely popular with its Jiro-inspired ramen to serve hungry workers with its massive amount of food. Ramen BARIO opened a location in Hawaii and soon after, Tsujita ANNEX was born in Los Angeles. It is the second restaurant that opened within the Tsujita company, and has grown into a cult following with many die hard fans that prefer Tsujita ANNEX over the original Tsujita LA location.
