The new Kokoro Gin flavors have been added to the portfolio of the UK-based brand as a way for consumers to enjoy some of the most quintessential tastes of Japan. The new Liqueurs range includes three flavors in all including Blueberry & Lemongrass, Yuzu & Ginger and Cherry Blossom, which all celebrate spring in Japan, despite it still being a chilly time of year around the world. Each of the gins have branding that is distinctly traditional to Japanese artistic aesthetics and boast a vibrant look that makes them pop off the shelf.
Kokoro Founder James Nicol explained the new Kokoro Gin flavors when he said, "We’re delighted to be adding these exciting Japanese liqueurs to the Kokoro family. We’ve spent the last two years developing the range using authentic, natural Japanese ingredients. We’re proud that our family business is continuing to support the preservation of the forest in Japan where the sansho berries grow and which are at the heart of our gin. We will be giving 10% from the sale of every bottle of Kokoro Gin and the Kokoro Liqueurs to help preserve the forest which is close to my family’s heart."
