About

A gin
that dares
it all

Two worlds. One standard.

Between the precision of Belgian craftsmanship and the energy of Japan. Between botanicals and the world of manga. Between mastery and the urge to push the limits.

Yuzu brings the drive, juniper the structure. Each botanical adds its own character to create a singular balance.

But MaGin goes beyond gin. It’s a state of mind: daring, exploring, pushing yourself and constantly writing new chapters.

Every creation is a new arc. Every bottle, a story to discover.

Gin, in a universe like no other.

ORIGIN STORY

The genesis
of MaGin

Great adventures do not begin with a victory, but with an idea you refuse to let go of. The MaGin idea brought four friends together around the same dream: create a Belgian gin inspired by the world of manga. To find out how that idea became a bottle, then a whole universe, you have to go back to the very first chapter.

The Origins

Born from a
shared dream

MaGin is first of all the story of four friends, of shared passions and of the manga that marked a whole generation.

The years went by, but some things stayed: their fascination with Japan and that urge to create something together.

Then, one day, they decided to turn the idea into action. The MaGin adventure had just been born. But between the dream and the first bottle, one essential step remained: finding the right balance.

The origins — MaGin, Liège × Tokyo
Craft Distillation

The craft
behind MaGin

Four botanicals. One balance to find.

The challenge was simple to state, far trickier to pull off: how do you bring together the brightness of yuzu, the roundness of vanilla, the character of bison grass and the power of juniper berry, without any one of them wiping out the others?

To get there, MaGin was developed alongside Radermacher, the oldest distillery in Belgium. Founded in 1836 in Raeren, it puts almost two centuries of know-how at the service of a resolutely different recipe.

From this meeting of tradition and daring came a gin that is smooth, aromatic and surprising. A balance that shows a different face depending on how you meet it: neat, in a gin and tonic or at the heart of a cocktail.

Tradition wrote the first chapter. The adventure carries on in every glass.

Our Philosophy

More than
just a gin

Like in shônen manga, our way, our nindō, comes down to 5 core pillars that guide every decision, every batch, every chapter.

  1. 勇気 Yūki · Courage Dare where others hesitate.
  2. 友情 Yūjō · Friendship Moving forward together, since the very first chapter.
  3. 挑戦 Chōsen · Challenge Always look to push past your own limits.
  4. 信念 Shinnen · Conviction Believe in your path and see it through.
  5. 夢 Yume · Dream Never stop dreaming big.

MaGin and the
AdvenTURE Calendar: a mysterious
samurai at the heart of Liège

December 2025 · Liège, Belgium · 5 min read

From 1st to 24 December 2025, MaGin opened a new chapter of its universe with the AdvenTURE Calendar, an original series blending Christmas spirit, manga atmosphere and a spotlight on local talents.

The MaGin samurai above Liège, holding the “Osez l'aventure!” banner

The MaGin samurai above Liège — December 2025

All through December, a mysterious samurai from a distant land appeared in the Cité ardente. No one truly knew his name, nor the exact reasons for his coming. Yet one thing seemed clear: his journey was bound up with the encounters he was about to have.

A quest in 24 episodes

Through a series of episodes released day after day on Instagram and Facebook, this strange traveller roamed Liège to meet local shopkeepers, craftspeople, creators, artists and players. Each stage of his journey was a chance to discover a new world, a story, a craft or a passion.

Wherever he went, his banner carried the same message: “Osez l’aventure!” (dare the adventure), along with a QR code to follow the quest.

Encounters, day after day

A toast behind a bar, a katana duel at a craftsman’s table, a pause under the glass roof of Guillemins station: every episode told of an encounter, and every encounter moved the quest forward.

Over the 24 episodes, he crossed paths with La Grand Poste, Winter Geek, Player, Tony BangBang, Pepper Mint, Sodylow, D MaJin, L’Hairpinup, Manga Cash, La Pâte de l’Ours, Nakama, Le Grenier du Geek, Sushi Time, Do You Speak Gin, Wattitude, the Domaine des Thermes, GiuArtiste, Snack Coyote, Les Fans du Wabi, the Japan Day, Chez Moi, Radical and Ninja Ramen, before a final quest at the JAM Hotel Brussels.

Along the way, the samurai trained in his own art in a true sanctuary of spirits with Do You Speak Gin, regained his strength at Snack Coyote, recharged at the Domaine des Thermes, and with Les Fans du Wabi rediscovered the memory of the matcha his grandfather used to make. He then understood that his quest was about passing things on, and about the people he met.

A gift at every stage

Every episode came with a giveaway. Up for grabs: a gift from the partner of the day, and a bottle of MaGin Special Edition 2025. For the final quest on 24 December, the prize brought together a night for two at the JAM Hotel Brussels, a meal at KAIJU restaurant, a Japanese bath at ATSUKAN, transport with Charli and a bottle of MaGin Limited Edition.

The giveaways closed on 31 December, and the winners were announced in early January.

MaGin Special Edition 2025, up for grabs at every stage of the quest

The Christmas tour

While the samurai roamed the city, the MaGin Team lined up one end-of-year event after another:

With the AdvenTURE Calendar, MaGin wanted to go beyond a simple end-of-year activation. The goal was to create a genuinely living story, one that could gather a community around strong values: discovery, sharing, creativity and support for the talents of the region.

Between manga storytelling, a reinvented Christmas spirit and local roots, the AdvenTURE Calendar stood out as an original experience, true to MaGin’s DNA: create more than a gin, build a whole universe.

But one question remains…

Who is this samurai, really? And above all… will he ever return to the Cité ardente?

MaGin Ki Yuzu strikes gold
at Gin of the Year 2025

February 2026 · London, United Kingdom · 3 min read

An organic gin born in Liège, a recipe with Japanese yuzu and vanilla, and a jury tasting blind: MaGin Ki Yuzu wins a gold medal at the international Gin of the Year 2025 competition in London, in the Compound Gin category.

A competition where only the gin counts

Every year in London, Gin of the Year brings together gins from all over the world. The principle is simple and demanding: samples are tasted blind. No label, no bottle, no manga universe to sway the jury. All that counts is the balance, the aromatic precision and the personality of the gin in the glass.

For the MaGin Team, it was a real challenge: putting our Belgian yuzu gin in front of a jury of professionals, in a setting where the story, the design and the energy around the brand count for nothing.

Gold in the Compound Gin category

MaGin Ki Yuzu competed in the Compound Gin category, for gins whose botanicals are infused in the spirit rather than redistilled. The jury awarded it a gold medal. The results of the 2025 edition were published in early 2026.

What the jury tasted

MaGin Ki Yuzu is an organic Belgian gin at 40% ABV, built around an unexpected pairing: the tangy freshness of Japanese yuzu and the roundness of vanilla. Juniper gives it its structure, while bison grass adds a soft, herbal touch. A lively balance, to be enjoyed neat as much as in a cocktail.

Behind the universe, a premium product

From day one, MaGin has told its story like a manga: a hero, quests, allies, chapters. This medal is a reminder of what matters most: behind the universe, there is first and foremost a bold, carefully crafted gin, able to win over an international jury with what is in the bottle, and nothing else.

It is also a source of pride for Liège: a project driven by four friends from the “Cité ardente”, rewarded in London, one of the historic capitals of gin.

What’s next?

The medal joins the bottle, but the quest goes on. To taste the gin that won over the jury, MaGin Ki Yuzu is available in our online shop and at our stockists in Belgium and France. And to serve it the way it deserves, our cocktail recipes are waiting for you.

A bottle of MaGin Ki Yuzu, a manga of cocktail recipes and a box designed like a collectible figure: the MaGin Box brings the MaGin universe to life well beyond the bottle. Previewed at the Liège Gin Festival, it was officially launched on 4 May 2025.

What’s inside the box

Inside, two pieces that belong together. First, a 500 ml bottle of MaGin Ki Yuzu, our organic Belgian gin with Japanese yuzu and vanilla. Then Les Recettes, Volume 1, our cocktail recipe book illustrated in manga style.

Everything comes in a black window box worthy of the finest collectible figure displays: you can see the bottle and the manga side by side before you even open it.

Les Recettes, Volume 1: a cocktail manga

This is not just a recipe book. In this manga, the main character is none other than MaGin, and every cocktail becomes a quest: the steps unfold panel by panel, from the ingredients to the final pour.

The book was created with mixologist Maria Picon, who helped the MaGin Team perfect its signature cocktails. Sharp-eyed readers will spot hidden references throughout the pages. And as the title says: this is only Volume 1.

From preview to launch

The MaGin Box was first unveiled as a preview on 19 and 20 April 2025 at the Liège Gin Festival, at the Société Littéraire. A long-awaited novelty for the community, ahead of its official launch on 4 May 2025.

Since then, it has become a true piece of the universe: a gateway into the MaGin quest, between spirits, storytelling and manga aesthetics.

A gift idea for gin and manga fans

Birthdays, the holidays or simply a treat for yourself: the MaGin Box is made to be given. It speaks as much to gin lovers looking for a different Belgian gin as to manga fans who love beautiful objects.

of a crossover cocktail

September 2026 · Liège, Belgium · 3 min read

Two worlds, two Belgian gins, one red thread: throughout September 2026, Panda Gin and MaGin came together around a unique creation, Akai Ito, served in two Liège bars, L’Amusoir and Sodylow.

The panda and the samurai, each with his own bottle

The red thread of fate

Akai Ito is the red thread of fate. According to an East Asian legend, an invisible red thread connects those who are destined to meet. It may stretch or tangle, but it never breaks.

The name was obvious for a cocktail that stands for the meeting of two worlds meant to cross paths.

Two Belgian gins, one creation

On one side, Panda Gin, an organic Belgian gin launched in 2017 by a group of friends, known as the first gin made with lychee. On the other, MaGin Ki Yuzu, our organic gin from Liège with Japanese yuzu and vanilla.

Akai Ito brings them together in the same glass: the freshness of lemon, the indulgence of raspberry and a touch of ginger to lift it all.

The recipe

Shake both gins, the syrup, lemon and raspberry with ice. Strain into an old fashioned glass over a large ice cube, top up with ginger ale or ginger beer, then garnish with a skewered raspberry, a twisted lemon zest… and a little red thread. The full recipe card is in our cocktail recipes, Crossover category.

Two gins, two venues

Throughout September, Akai Ito was served at two Liège venues: L’Amusoir, in the heart of the city, and Sodylow, a cocktail bar that has been part of the MaGin adventure since 2024. Two gins, two venues, one creation.

Some encounters may have been written all along.

To make Akai Ito at home, MaGin Ki Yuzu is available in our online shop.

three editions, one home

2024–2026 · Liège, Belgium · 4 min read

Since 2024, the Liège Gin Festival, organised by Do You Speak Gin, has been part of every major chapter of MaGin. A first stand at the Royal Opera, the preview of the MaGin Box, a detour through Vaux-sur-Sûre… The story of three editions and of a festival that has become a bit like home.

2024 — A first festival, at the Royal Opera

On 2 July 2024, MaGin took part in its very first gin festival, in one of the most iconic venues of the “Cité ardente”: the Royal Opera of Liège. The crowd of enthusiasts, connoisseurs and curious visitors discovered our signature wasabi cocktail for the first time, a bold creation that sums up the MaGin spirit: surprise, take people on a journey and leave the beaten track.

For a young gin from Liège, it was an important step: taking its place among the players of Belgian gin, in the heart of its home town.

2025 — The MaGin Box preview

On 19 and 20 April 2025, MaGin returned to the festival, this time at the Société Littéraire de Liège, with a long-awaited novelty for the community: the MaGin Box, previewed two weeks before its official launch. A gift box bringing together gin, manga and Japanese culture.

A few weeks later, on 17 May, the MaGin Team hit the road to Vaux-sur-Sûre for the Gin and Rum Festival: a warm atmosphere, a curious crowd and long conversations about Japan, cocktails and Belgian gin. Just the kind of festival we love: genuine and full of life.

2026 — And that makes three

In April 2026, MaGin returned to the Liège Gin Festival for the third time. Now on familiar ground, the team came back to an event that has been part of the adventure from the very start. Edition after edition, bonds have formed with Quentin Lambert, the festival’s organiser, and with visitors, enthusiasts and fellow exhibitors.

And this time, MaGin arrived with one more reason to taste it: its Gin of the Year 2025 gold medal, won a few weeks earlier.

Why we keep coming back

A festival is where MaGin truly comes to life: we pour MaGin Ki Yuzu neat, then in a cocktail, we tell the story behind the bottle and we meet the people who may become part of the next chapter. It is also where collaborations are born, with other distilleries, bars and enthusiasts.

After all… here, we feel a bit at home.

See you at the next edition. In the meantime, MaGin Ki Yuzu is available in our online shop and at our stockists, and our upcoming events are in the Agenda.

a Belgian gin, a Japanese soul

2024–2025 · Liège & Brussels · 6 min read

Japan has been at the heart of MaGin from day one: in the bottle, with yuzu, and in the universe, with manga. Along the way, this bond became very real: the Embassy of Japan, Japanese restaurants in Liège, Japan Day, Made In Asia and geek festivals. The story of a bridge between the Fiery City and the land of yuzu.

Japan in the bottle

MaGin Ki Yuzu is an organic Belgian gin built around yuzu, the Japanese citrus that is both tangy and fragrant, softened with vanilla. Its label, its names and its universe draw on manga and shōnen, those stories of quests and surpassing yourself that shaped a whole generation, ours included.

2024–2025 — The Embassy of Japan

December 2024: the MaGin Team meets a delegation of the Ambassador of Japan. A few weeks later, it is invited to the Japanese New Year. Read the whole story in MaGin and the Embassy of Japan.

On the menu of Japanese restaurants

On 5 December 2024, MaGin joined the menus of Ninja Ramen and Sushi Time. In the Ninja Ramen restaurants of the Liège region, MaGin even became the only gin on offer: a Belgian yuzu gin, served where Japanese food is shared. Find all these addresses on our stockist map.

September 2025 — The Liège Japan Day

On 27 September 2025, MaGin took part in the Liège Japan Day, the meeting point for fans of Japanese culture and pop culture. This edition also marked the preview of the collaboration with La Pâte de l’Ours: chocolate treats inspired by the MaGin universe, between indulgence and Japanese aesthetics.

Manga and pop culture: MaGin plays at home

MaGin was born from a love of manga. So it was only natural for the Team to go and meet the people who share it: fairs, conventions and gaming nights.

A gin you read like a manga

At MaGin, the shōnen universe is more than decoration: the label, the names and the tone all tell a quest. In September 2024, the adventure even became a real manga: Les Recettes, Volume 01, created with mixologist Maria Picon, gathers the brand’s signature cocktails in a manga-inspired format whose main character is none other than MaGin. Today you will find it in the MaGin Box.

March 2025 — Made In Asia

From 7 to 9 March 2025, MaGin takes part in Made In Asia in Brussels, one of Belgium’s biggest gatherings dedicated to Japanese culture and pop culture. Among cosplayers, manga fans and curious visitors from all over the country, the Team introduces its Belgian yuzu gin and its signature cocktails.

A highlight of the quest: meeting a community that shares the same passions face to face, and showing that a spirit can tell a real story too.

December 2025 — The Winter Geek Festival

On 13 and 14 December 2025, MaGin sets up at the Winter Geek Festival, an event perfectly in line with its DNA: pop culture, manga and immersive experiences. Winter Geek is also one of the partners the samurai met during the Advent Calendar quest, alongside Le Grenier du Geek, Manga Cash and Nakama.

31 December 2025 — New Year at Pixel Café

To close the year, MaGin teams up again with Pixel Café in Liège for a New Year’s Eve party all about celebration, gaming and pop culture. Cocktails, energy and a jump to the next level: a year-end like a final boss.

A thread that carries on

Japan runs through the whole MaGin story: a samurai in the streets of Liège for the AdvenTURE Calendar, the legend of the red thread of fate for Akai Ito, and matcha recipes among our cocktails.

Kanpai!

To taste this bridge between Belgium and Japan, MaGin Ki Yuzu is available in our online shop.

December 2024 – May 2025 · Brussels · 3 min read

A Belgian yuzu gin, born from a love of manga, welcomed by Japanese diplomacy: one of the most memorable chapters of the MaGin adventure. In a few months, the Team goes from a first meeting with the Embassy of Japan to the Japanese New Year celebrations.

December 2024 — The first meeting

On 1 December 2024, the MaGin Team meets a delegation of the Ambassador of Japan. A chance to present the whole project: the Belgian yuzu gin, the manga universe, the Japanese inspiration, and the vision carried by four friends from Liège since the very start of the adventure.

A symbolic and deeply human exchange, which confirms MaGin’s wish to build a bridge between Belgian craftsmanship, Japanese culture and taste.

January 2025 — The Japanese New Year ceremony

Less than two months later, MaGin is invited to the Japanese New Year ceremony held at the Ambassador’s residence. The Team joins the guests of honour and meets many figures committed to representing Japanese culture in Belgium.

February 2025 — The celebration evening

On 5 February 2025 comes a new invitation, to the Japanese New Year evening: a night of meetings and conversations during which the Team, in MaGin kimonos, introduces its gin and cocktails to many figures from the Belgian and Japanese cultural scenes.

May 2025 — Together at Spa-Francorchamps

The bond goes beyond the residence’s reception rooms. From 8 to 10 May 2025, for the World Endurance Championship, the MaGin Team sets up on the paddock mezzanines at Spa-Francorchamps, at the foot of the Raidillon, alongside a delegation of the Embassy of Japan. On the programme: signature cocktails, motorsport and a meeting with Toyota Gazoo Racing.

Arigatō!

Thank you to the Embassy of Japan for its trust. The rest of the bond between MaGin and Japan, from yuzu to Japan Day, is waiting in MaGin and Japan. And to taste this bridge between two cultures, MaGin Ki Yuzu is available in our online shop.
