Kirin Ichiban

Kirin Ichiban is a Japanese pilsner that is unique for its 'First Press' (Ichiban Shibori) brewing process. Unlike most beers that blend the first and second pressings of the malt liquid, Kirin uses only the very first wort, which contains the purest and most flavorful extract. This results in a beer that is exceptionally clean, smooth, and full-bodied without any of the bitterness often found in subsequent pressings. As a 100% malt beer, it offers a rich, sweet aroma and a crisp finish, embodying the Japanese dedication to technical perfection and the pursuit of the most refined flavor possible.
