Kirin Ichiban is a Japanese premium lager brewed using a unique first press brewing method, which extracts only the first wort from the mash, ensuring a smoother, cleaner, and more refined taste compared to standard lagers. Produced by Kirin Brewery Company, it embodies Japan’s dedication to high-quality beer craftsmanship and is known for its refreshing crispness, mild sweetness, and well-balanced malt and hop character.

The beer has a golden straw colour with a moderate, frothy white head, offering a mellow yet full-bodied taste with minimal bitterness. Its clean profile makes it highly drinkable and a popular choice for pairing with a wide range of dishes, especially Japanese cuisine.
