&SPIRITS Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Meguro-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Kuroda Ai) will be holding a monthly event to promote the appeal of Belgian gin at &SPIRITS, a distilled spirits select shop in Nakameguro, Tokyo, from Sunday, September 1st to Monday, September 30th, 2024.

Belgium is famous for its chocolate and waffles, and when it comes to alcohol, beer comes to mind, but Belgian gin is what is really worth paying attention to right now.
All of these products are unique, and when you consider the high level of perfection of the gin itself, as well as the interesting stories and concepts, it is no exaggeration to say that Belgian gin has the most individuality in Europe.

And Spirits will be holding a special POP-UP event with the support of the Belgian Embassy for one month from September 1st to 30th, 2024, aiming to promote Belgian gin in Japan.
