Jin Guk

Jin Guk is in Macquarie Park. It presents a Korean identity through its aim to offer “the true taste of Korea,” prepared with care.

Broth, beef, noodles and rice

One offering centres on an herb-infused broth served with Wagyu brisket, shin and short rib. It is accompanied by green tea noodles and rice, placing the broth, beef cuts, noodles and rice together as the concrete elements of the meal.

Ceramics and rice preparation

the restaurant also describes attention to tableware through Sorijan, made by Gwangjuyo, a Korean heritage ceramics house. Sorijan is a modern interpretation of Banguljan, a traditional Korean bell cup whose origins date back more than 1,500 years.

The preparation process also includes repeated testing of rice. The restaurant describes cooking rice again and again using many of the varieties available in Australia, indicating a focus on selecting and preparing rice as part of its overall approach.
