We had the pleasure of attending Jin Broth’s Pop-Up at Baro as well as trying out their meal kit! Jin Broth is a Korean broth focused brand that officially opened in April 2026.
The concept began from the idea of changing the perception that healthy food is either not delicious, or something that has to be eaten separately as an extra health routine. They wanted to show that a natural everyday meal can be delicious while also supporting health through protein and collagen-rich food.
Korean foods such as Seolleongtang, Gomtang, and Dak Gomtang are made by extracting ingredients over a long period of time. They slowly draw flavor from bones, meat, and vegetables, while removing impurities and creating a broth that is deep, but easy to digest.
Jin Broth’s Manhattan pop-up began in May 2026 at Baro which is in K-town. This pop-up was not simply an event to sell food. It was a brand showcase to show how Jin Broth looks at broth, and how Korean broth can be expressed in many different ways. The pop-up will conclude in July, but the subscription plan will be available for order.
The Jin Broth pop-up menu is structured in two main parts. The first part of the pop-up, uses broth as an ingredient to create different flavors and textures. Broth is transformed into forms such as foam, gel, consommé, and cream sauce, allowing guests to experience broth not simply as soup, but as an important ingredient in cooking.
The first part includes an Amuse using clear beef broth, Beef Tartare topped with chicken bone broth gel, Chicken Summer Roll served with clear chicken consommé, and Dumpling Lasagna made with beef bone broth cream sauce.
The second part is closer to the foundation of Jin Broth. In this part, instead of using broth only as an ingredient, they serve broth itself as a complete meal. They serve Suyuk made with tenderly cooked boneless short rib, shank, brisket, and beef tendon. The final course is Sagol Seolleongtang, simmered for more than 12 hours, served as a Korean meal set with rice and banchan.
After the meal, guests receive a sample of Jin Broth’s signature broth, so they can taste the broth they experienced at the pop-up again at home. For those looking to enjoy their subscription products, you can visit their website to select the package or plan where customers can order only broth, as well as meal kit plans that include broth, protein, kimchi, and sauces. They offer Jin Red (Starter Plan), Jin White (Broth Lover), Jin Black (Meal Kit Plan), and Jin Gold (Full Experience).
