Kokoro Gin

A Japanese soul dressed in a British uniform - Kokoro Gin is made as a London Dry Gin, but filled with Asian botanicals that would never have found their way into an English gin still a hundred years ago. The name Kokoro means "heart" in Japanese, a reminder that this is gin with a place, not just a style.

About Kokoro Gin

Kokoro Gin is a Japanese gin, brewed as a London Dry Gin but with special Asian botanicals added that give it a distinctly Japanese expression. For the newcomer it's an accessible way to meet Japanese gin without leaving the familiar London Dry framework; for the gin enthusiast, the interest lies in the very crossing of two traditions - British distilling technique and Japanese flavour notes, together creating something that's neither purely British nor purely Japanese.

History & Background

Japan's gin scene truly emerged through the 2010s, as international brands like Roku demonstrated that Japanese botany could be combined with classic London Dry technique. Kokoro Gin is part of this wave, created with a deliberate dual identity: structurally a British London Dry Gin, but flavour-wise coloured by Japanese botanicals not traditionally part of European gin production. The name Kokoro, Japanese for "heart" or "soul", underlines the ambition to capture something authentically Japanese within a recognisable gin framework.

Production & Style

Juniper is distilled using the London Dry method alongside selected Asian botanicals that give the gin its Japanese-inspired character.

Signature Style

Aromatic, Exotic, Clean
Classic juniper joined by Asian herbs and spices, giving a subtle oriental twist to an otherwise traditional London Dry profile.
