The KOKORO Story: Crafted with Heart, Celebrated with Soul
A Fusion of Cultures Founded in 2017 by Howard Cao, KOKORO Spirits was born from a vision to create something truly extraordinary. Our brand represents a rare cultural harmony where the meticulous craftsmanship and serene aesthetics of Japan meet the rich, spirited heritage of Mexico’s tequila traditions. This “traditionally-untraditional” approach allows us to bridge worlds, creating spirits that are both a nod to the past and a beacon for the modern luxury seeker.
The Name, The Philosophy
The name Kokoro is a Japanese expression that embodies the integration of heart, mind, and spirit. It is the guiding principle behind everything we do. We believe that luxury is measured in authenticity and connection, and we invite a new generation of enthusiasts to savor a tequila that is genuine, deep, and meaningful.
