Unveiling ZINE GIN: A New Era of Craft Gin

ZINE GIN, a unique craft gin celebrating stories and connections, will officially launch on December 28, 2025, through the online store of F.A.R. LLC, headquartered in Shibuya, Tokyo. Every bottle embodies the essence of a narrative, inviting gin lovers to savor not only exquisite flavors but also the experiences of various storytellers with each sip.

The Concept Behind ZINE GIN

ZINE GIN seeks to create opportunities for people to connect through the art of storytelling presented in a liquid form. With the tagline "Stories are beyond the glass," this gin aims to immerse you in diverse tales crafted by various artists while you indulge in its unique taste. The brand's mission is not just to offer a drink, but to transform your moment into a storytelling experience.

The Background of Its Creation

The term "ZINE" refers to small, handcrafted publications that individuals or small groups create and distribute freely. These magazines have become popular tools for self-expression among young artists and creators, leading to a remarkable growth in ZINE culture. Between 2022 and 2025, events centered around ZINEs increased by a staggering 3.2 times, and social media posts tagged as #zine surpassed 2 million on Instagram. With this flourishing culture in mind, ZINE GIN was developed to provide a drink that connects people and stories through the senses, particularly the sense of smell and taste.

Distinctive Features of ZINE GIN

ZINE GIN offers a flavor that complements reading or creative endeavors. Mixing botanicals such as rose, rose geranium, and sandalwood, this gin presents a floral and complex character with a lingering finish. The inviting aroma takes you on a journey within the realm of storytelling, offering a soft bitterness followed by herbal notes that make for a perfect companion while flipping through the pages of a ZINE.

In alignment with its theme, ZINE GIN features original labels that embody the concept "Stories are beyond the glass." The design is carefully crafted to help you feel immersed in the world of narratives as you enjoy your drink.

Additionally, to amplify the storytelling aspect, each purchase of ZINE GIN includes an original ZINE inspired by the gin, a rare read that you can only find with your bottle. They are randomly selected, providing a delightful surprise with each purchase.

Original ZINE Examples:

• - "The Aroma of That Gin" by Torinosasamikko, an author known for works like "The Life of School Girls."
• - "PLANET PLANET" by Hola Angero, a creator of micro short stories and whimsical artworks.
