KIRIN ICHIBAN NEW Bottle 麒麟一番榨 330ml

Brewed by Kirin around the world using their signature “first wort” method, Kirin Ichiban captures the essence of “Ichiban” (the Japanese word for ‘first/number one’) — selecting only the first press of the malt for maximum purity and flavour. 

This 330 mL bottle delivers a crisp, full-bodied lager experience, with subtle malt sweetness, clean finish, and excellent drinkability. With 5 % ABV (typical) it pairs beautifully with many cuisines — especially Japanese or Asian-style dishes. 

Tasting Profile:

• 🍺 Type: Premium Japanese lager (100 % malt, first-press method)

• 🌾 Style: Smooth, full-malt character with clean finish

• 🔸 ABV: ~5 % (check label locally)

• 🍱 Best Served: Well-chilled (4-6 °C), poured into a pilsner glass

• 🍽️ Pairing: Sushi, yakitori, tempura, grilled meats, or light pasta

Why It Stands Out:

• ✅ Made using only the first press of the wort, emphasising purity of flavour. 

• ✅ 100 % malt, no adjuncts, giving rich body and refined character.

• ✅ Crafted by a globally recognised Japanese beer brand (Kirin) with premium lager credentials.

• ✅ Ideal for a single-serve 330 mL format — perfect for restaurants, bars, or home enjoyment.

• ✅ Packaging and product messaging emphasise “first press”, “Ichiban”, and premium lager status.
