An Evening with KOKORO Tequila

An Evening with KOKORO Tequila

Thursday, August 29th, 4–7 pm

SF Tequila Shop, Bernal Heights

Join us for an intimate tasting with Howard Cao, founder of KOKORO Tequila. Crafted in Mexico and inspired by the Japanese principle of kokoro — uniting heart, mind, and soul — KOKORO represents tequila in its purest form.

Enjoy their award-winning, additive-free tequila and explore its journey from horno-cooked agave and traditional tahona-milling to the rich, complex flavors born from open-air fermentation and copper distillation. Each sip offers a balance of tradition and intentional design, creating a profile that’s approachable for newcomers and captivating for seasoned aficionados alike.

Howard will share KOKORO’s multicultural roots, the meaning behind its name, and how the philosophy of kokoro is infused into every bottle — from the quiet craftsmanship of production to the minimalist elegance of its presentation.

Come taste why KOKORO has earned gold medals at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition and captured the attention of tequila lovers and design enthusiasts around the world.
