'Burb Bites: JINYA Ramen Bar
Welcome back to Burb Bites! A feature where the Axios Indianapolis team dishes out bite-sized dining recs from Indy's booming burbs.
This week, I'm bringing you a ramen recommendation to add a little umami to your next HamCo Ikea run.
The bite: Chicken ramen, karaage and Brussels sprouts tempura from JINYA Ramen Bar.
The burb: Fishers.
My take: Delicious broth and immaculate vibes have made the sole Central Indiana location of this Tokyo-founded, Los Angeles-based ramen chain my go-to spot for quality ramen served quickly.
Plus: The JINYA menu is a split of traditional and fusion that's willing to get weird.
For example, JINYA debuted a lineup of seasonal chef specials this weekend that includes Birria Ramen, a Mexican-inspired dish topped with red onion, green onion, cilantro and a squeeze of lime.
Zoom in: The excellence of the broth — paired with JINYA's silky handmade noodles — cannot be overstated.
Add a side of crispy tempura Brussels sprouts with white truffle oil to take the experience to the next level.
Fun fact: CEO Tomo Takahashi says JINYA is named in honor of a Samurai soldier with strong community ties, a nod to how integral community support has been to the company's success.
If you go: 9711 E. 116th St.
11am-10pm Monday-Thursday, 11am-11pm Friday and Saturday, and 11am-10pm Sunday.
If you find yourself in northern Indiana, there is also a South Bend location.

Alaska Airlines to launch flights to Rome next year
Alaska Airlines is making its Europe debut with the launch of nonstop flights to Rome next year. The Seattle-based carrier will operate four weekly flights to and from its Pacific Northwest hub to the popular Italian city starting in May 2026. Flights from Seattle-Tacoma Internatinal Airport and Rome Fiumicino Leonardo da Vinci Airport will go on sale in the fall. The airline says it selected Rome as its first European destination because it's one of the 'most requested' destinations among its reward members. This will be the third long-haul international route Alaska will launch from its Seattle home base since acquiring Hawaiian Airlines and its fleet of long-haul jets in 2024. According to Alaska Airlines CEO Ben Minicucci, the carrier plans to expand its global reach, intending to fly to 12 international destinations on multiple continents by 2030. Last month, Alaska launched its inaugural flights to Tokyo's Narita International Airport. Flights to Seoul, South Korea, are up next, which start on Sept. 12. The new Seattle-Rome route will also double as the launch for Alaska's new flagship international Dreamliner experience on board the new Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner Jets, which is expected to include all-new business-class suites and amenities.

Japan Delegation Visits Illinois to Deepen Quantum Innovation Ties
CHICAGO, June 03, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Building on the momentum of previous delegations to Japan from the State of Illinois led by Governor J.B. Pritzker in October 2024 and the City of Chicago led by Deputy Mayor Kenya K. Merritt in March 2025, a high-level Japanese delegation will visit Illinois June 8-10 to strengthen collaboration in the rapidly advancing field of quantum technology. The delegation, organized by the Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO), and co-organized by the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO), Intersect Illinois, World Business Chicago (WBC), Illinois Quantum and Microelectronics Park, includes representatives from leading Japanese quantum and deep-tech companies, as well as many prominent Japanese organizations interested to learn about new innovations in the field of quantum computing. Their visit underscores the growing international recognition of Illinois as a global hub for quantum innovation. This visit also reflects the broader strategic partnership between the United States and Japan. In their February 2025 Joint Leaders' Statement, President Donald J. Trump and Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba reaffirmed their commitment to a "new golden age" of U.S.–Japan relations, emphasizing cooperation in technology, and economic development. The leaders highlighted the importance of joint innovation in emerging technologies—including quantum computing—as a pillar of their alliance. Illinois, and Chicago in particular, play a vital role in this bilateral relationship. Japan is one of Illinois' top foreign investors, with more than 47,000 Illinoisans employed by Japanese companies. The organizers are working in close partnership to welcome the delegation and facilitate meaningful engagement with local stakeholders. Chicago has emerged as a national leader in quantum research and commercialization, with over $1 billion in federal investment and the establishment of four National Quantum Initiative research centers—more than any other region in the U.S. The city is home to the Chicago Quantum Exchange (CQE), a collaborative network that includes the University of Chicago, Argonne National Laboratory, and other key institutions. These efforts are positioning Chicago as "The Quantum City," a nexus for cutting-edge research, workforce development, and industry partnerships. The delegation's itinerary includes visits and meetings with leading organizations, universities and companies including: Polsky Center Hyde Park Labs Argonne National Laboratory Chicago Quantum Exchange mHUB These engagements aim to foster deeper collaboration between Japanese and Illinois-based quantum stakeholders, explore investment opportunities, and promote knowledge exchange in quantum computing, sensing, and communications. The visit will conclude with the "Quantum Innovation Exchange" – JETRO's Japan Innovation Bridge (J-Bridge) Event – which will feature pitch presentations from Japanese and Chicago-based quantum companies, followed by networking. More information can be found here: This visit marks a significant step forward in strengthening U.S.-Japan cooperation in quantum technologies and highlights Illinois' growing role as a global center for quantum innovation.
