MaGin × La Pâte de l’Ours:
the quest turns to chocolate

September–December 2025 · Liège & Brussels · 3 min read

The MaGin quest is not only enjoyed in a glass. In 2025, the Team teams up with chocolatier La Pâte de l’Ours to create chocolates in the MaGin spirit: yuzu, wasabi, gin ganache and a yellow and black glaze.

September 2025 — The preview at Japan Day

On 27 September 2025, the Liège Japan Day becomes the playground: visitors are the first to taste the treats born from the collaboration, between indulgence, creativity and Japanese aesthetics. For MaGin, it is a new step: gin meets other forms of Belgian craftsmanship.

October 2025 — The MaGin praline

On 2 October 2025, the collaboration is officially unveiled, and it is an instant success. On the menu:

Stacked yuzu white chocolate bars, scattered with wasabi sesame seeds

December 2025 — The holidays, together

La Pâte de l’Ours is also one of the partners of the Advent Calendar quest. Then the two houses share their year-end stands: from 12 to 14 December at the Jette Christmas Market, and from 19 to 21 December at Art-Uur Brussels, between chocolate, gin and creativity.
