Kirin Ichiban Bottle 12x600ml 5.0%

Kirin Ichiban 600ml (12 Bottles) – Premium, Rich, and Incredibly Easy to Drink

Experience the pinnacle of Japanese brewing artistry with Kirin Ichiban. Brewed using the unique "Ichiban Shibori" (First Press) process, this exceptional premium lager extracts only the most flavorful first run of the malt. Packaged in a substantial carton of 12 Bottles (600ml each) at a perfectly balanced 5.0% ABV, it delivers a deeply flavorful profile that remains exceptionally smooth and highly refreshing.

Unlike traditional beers that blend the first and second press of the wort, Kirin Ichiban uses exclusively the first press of 100% malt. This uncompromising method yields a purer, more refined flavor with a beautifully velvety texture. Despite its rich malt character, it is masterfully balanced to ensure there is no lingering bitterness, making it an incredibly easy-to-drink choice that is perfect for sharing during meals or celebrations.
