Unlike other beers, Kirin Ichiban only the first press of the wort is used. 'Ichiban Shibori' is a unique method of brewing beer at its purest from a single pure ingredient: 100% malt. This one-and-only technique gives Kirin Ichiban a unique taste and flavour found nowhere else in the world. Kirin Ichiban is a distinctively smooth and full-bodied beer from start to finish. It is the perfect accompaniment to a meal, be it Wagyu beef or spicy stir-fries.
