Ikigai is a Japanese concept which can be loosely translated to “your sense of purpose” and “reason for being”.
The concept was born in Okinawa, Japan. This area houses the largest population of centenarians in the world. Ikigai is what inspires you to get out of bed every day.
At Shop Ikigai, our ikigai is improving your ikigai!
Our vocation is providing you with the opportunity to sip, savour and experience creative cocktails & embrace unique flavours.
Our carefully curated range of Japanese spirits, liqueurs, bitters (as well as our bespoke cocktail range, Kokoro Cocktails) embody the ikigai we foster.
To ikigai hunters and those who wish to embrace ikigai, we celebrate you with a Japanese toast: “Kanpai!”.
Shop Ikigai is the ultimate shop for you, our friends who appreciate the finer things in life.

All cocktails are original recipes created by us! Our long life cocktails can be stored for 3 months and ideal to post around Australia!
