KIRIN Ichiban Beer in a Glass (330ml)

Kirin Ichiban Premium Beer (330ml bottle) – Japan’s unique First Press Lager

Discover Kirin Ichiban, a premium Japanese lager beer that impresses with its unique "Ichiban Shibori" (first pressing) brewing process. Unlike many other beers, only the purest liquid from the first pressing of the malt is used. The result? An exceptionally pure, mild, yet full-bodied flavor. With 5% alcohol by volume, this beer, in the classic 330ml glass bottle, is a highlight for lovers of Japanese beer.

What does Kirin Ichiban taste like? Our tasting notes:

The "Ichiban Shibori" process characterizes the clean and refined character of this beer:

• Appearance: Bright, clear golden yellow with fine, lively carbonation and a stable, white foam head.
• Nose: Fresh and clean, with subtle notes of pale malt (similar to bread or crackers) and a very fine, elegant hop aroma in the background.
• Taste (Palate): Remarkably soft and smooth. A pure malt flavor predominates, perfectly balanced by a gentle, unobtrusive hop bitterness. No disturbing overtones—very clear and defined.
• Finish: Short, refreshing and clean, with a pleasantly dry finish.
