Kokoro Gin | 20cl Japanese-Inspired London Dry


The Heart of the Japanese Forest in a Classic London Dry


Kokoro Gin is a sophisticated, Japanese-inspired London Dry Gin that brings the soul of the Nagano Prefecture to the traditional copper pot still. The defining characteristic of this gin is the use of fresh Sansho berries, sustainably sourced from the Afan Woodland in Japan.


Used extensively in high-end Japanese cuisine, Sansho berries provide a flavour profile unlike any other botanical—offering an earthy, black pepper heat followed by a distinctively piney citrus aftertaste. With its name meaning "Heart" in Japanese, Kokoro is an invitation to "close your eyes and think of the forest." This 20cl bottle is the perfect size for exploring this unique, forest-inspired spirit.
