News of a highly anticipated new release has arrived from “IGIN,” the buzzing alcohol brand for which global superstar BTS’s Jin serves as ambassador. Surprisingly, Japan will be the first country in the world to release this product, preceding even South Korea and other nations. The opportunity to experience this new flavor from the brand created by a 21st-century pop icon, earlier than anyone else in the world, will be provided at Japanese konbini (convenience stores).
IGIN APPLE TONIC PINKOM
Starting Tuesday, February 24, 2026, sales of the new canned chu-hi “IGIN APPLE TONIC PINKOM” will begin sequentially at Lawson stores nationwide (a major Japanese convenience store chain). Please note that Lawson Store 100 locations are excluded. While pricing and detailed specifications should be checked in-store, the most notable aspect is its scarcity. This product is currently unreleased in other countries, making it a special item prepared exclusively for fans in Japan.
App Reservation to Guarantee Your Purchase
In Japan, when popular collaboration items are released, they often sell out immediately. The “IGIN” series also saw stock run out at many stores during past releases. A scramble is expected for this new release as well. Therefore, for those who want to ensure they get their hands on it, utilizing the advance reservation feature on the official Lawson Smartphone App is highly recommended. Reservations open on Wednesday, January 28, 2026, at 10:00 AM. The product pickup period is from the release date, February 24, to March 2. By using this system, you can avoid searching through store inventory and smoothly collect your items on launch day.
Reservation-Exclusive Sets and Collector’s Items
For this app reservation, two types of sets are available to suit consumer preferences. The first is the “PINKOM (Peach) 6-Can Set” for those who want to fully enjoy the new peach flavor. The second is the “Series 6-Can Set” for those who want to enjoy the new flavor along with the existing lineup at once.
There is an additional perk you cannot miss. Each set comes with an “Original Acrylic Coaster.” These coasters have a special feature: by combining the bonuses from Set A and Set B, they can be displayed as an Acrylic Stand. These are limited-edition goods (merchandise) created specifically for this Lawson advance release. They are sure to be extremely attractive items for collectors.

A Taste of “Apple and Peach” to Welcome Spring
The “IGIN” brand is characterized by a refreshing taste that combines fermented liquor made from flavorful Korean rice with juicy apples. The new “PINKOM” adds the gently spreading scent of peaches to this apple base.
Imagine the refreshing sensation of apple spreading the moment you take a sip, followed by the sweet and sour lingering finish of peach. Japan will soon welcome the Sakura (Cherry Blossom) season. There is likely no drink better suited for Hanami (outdoor flower-viewing picnic parties) and the holiday season. The charming pink package lifts the mood just by placing it on the table. It is a gentle cup that fits into daily life, typical of IGIN, which themes itself on “a place where smiles are born naturally.”
Although chilly days continue, why not get a taste of spring a little early? Be sure to check out this special opportunity to taste it fastest in the world at your local Lawson.
