Jin is the Japanese pronunciation of the character 仁.

It means "benevolence" and finds its root in Confucian ideals.  The character Jin consists of two elements. The left side represents a human being and the right side represents the numeral two. Jin is said to depict the way two people should treat one another. We, the founding partners, chose Jin as our ramen bar's name not only out of an enthusiasm for ramen, but also from a desire to grow a business that has a positive impact on the community.  In 2012, after Jin gains a solid foothold in the neighborhood, we hope that you, our customers, will advise us on how Jin should use its resources to benefit our community and neighbors.
