INTRODUCING KOREA'S FIRST HANDCRAFTED GIN
Where Korean Soul Meets the Art of Gin
Nestled in the serene valley of Yangpyeong, Buja Gin captures the quiet rhythm of rural Korea and distills it into liquid poetry. Each sip reveals the fresh breath of the seasons, the touch of local farmers, and the steady mastery of craftsmen who understand that time, patience, and nature are the truest ingredients of perfection.
More than a spirit, Buja Gin is a conversation between land and maker—a story of how Korea’s changing skies and fertile soil can be translated into glass. Designed to be sipped, not mixed, it’s a gin that rewards pause: calm, layered, and profoundly balanced.
In a world chasing novelty, Buja Gin invites us back to stillness—to taste the land, the season, and the hands that shaped it.
OUR STORY
A small distillery born from a father and son — where legacy meets craft, and spirit becomes family.
In the quiet valley of Yangpyeong, Buja Gin was born from a shared dream to create balance — between nature and craft, past and present. Each sip carries the calm of the land, the rhythm of the seasons, and the mastery of those who built it by hand.
Buja Gin. A conversation between generations, distilled into harmony.
Smooth and balanced on its own, it deepens when mixed
revealing new layers with every sip.
It’s a gin that doesn’t demand attention, but quietly embraces you at the end of the day.

Born from the union of a father who loved the land and a son who was endlessly passionate about spirits.
Together, they poured their sweat and devotion into creating something rare — a truly local gin from Korea.
The father spent more than thirty years cultivating organic herbs, living in rhythm with the seasons. The son, inspired by that same harmony, studied distillation in the UK and Singapore, mastering both tradition and modern technique.
When the father’s organically certified herbs — grown through sustainable farming — met the son’s contemporary craft, a new kind of gin emerged: one with remarkable depth, aroma, and balance.
Buja Gin is more than a drink. It is the meeting of generations, the story of land and love, and the quiet expression of a family’s belief that true flavor begins with sincerity.
From our small distillery in Yangpyeong, we hope this heartfelt story finds its way to your glass — and your heart.
Crafted in Yangpyeong, Gyeonggi-do - where pure, clear waters flow.
To protect quality at every step, we steward everything from herb cultivation to distillation.
From spring through fall, we use only same-day–harvested herbs, capturing a freshness you can taste. We add nothing that doesn’t belong—no sweeteners, colors, or concentrates—so only the living essence remains. Through precise, modern distillation, the scent and depth of nature are drawn gently into the glass, creating Buja Gin’s unmistakably rich, balanced character.
