Kokoro Gin – a London Dry Gin with a Japanese Heart is distilled with nine botanicals, including fresh Japanese Sansho berries, imported from the Afan Woodland of Nagano prefecture, Japan. Sansho berries are used extensively in Japanese cuisine and have a distinctly earthy black pepper flavour with a piney citrus finish. The choice of botanicals was inspired by founder James’ uncle, the adventurer and explorer C.W. Nicol, known as Uncle Nic, who lives in the forest which he has helped restore and preserve for over 30 years. 10% of the profit from every bottle goes back to the Afan Woodland Trust to help continue his work.

The name Kokoro means heart in Japanese – the soul and essence of something. It perfectly describes the heart of the Japanese forest, so important to James and his family.

Kick off the Rugby World Cup with a Kokoro Dragon Ball Cocktail:

50ml Kokoro Gin
20ml Lemon Juice
5ml Kokoro Cherry Blossom Liqueur

10ml Aperol
2 Dashes of Orange Flower Water
Champagne (optional)
Garnish: Orange Peel

Shake all ingredients apart from the Champagne with ice
Double strain and top with Champagne

If this is a bit too much to ‘tackle’ during half-time,
why not try a signature Kokoro G&T to mark the start of the World Cup?

Combine 50ml Kokoro Gin with premium light tonic and garnish with a fresh sprig of tarragon.

Convert your G&T to the next league with Kokoro’s Japanese flavoured liqueurs. Available in 3 different expressions including, Blueberry & Lemongrass, Yuzu & Ginger and Cherry Blossom.
