Kirin Ichiban uses the highly refined part of the raw material to extract the best flavor through a unique production scheme of using only the first wort. Although this is costlier, the result is noteworthy -- a complex yet subtle difference in aroma from a full-bodied brew.
Produced based on the unique “ichiban (first)” method, Kirin Ichiban satisfies both the rational and emotional brand concept. Great with Japanese cuisine, Kirin Ichiban goes well with savory dishes such as sushi, sliced raw fish, and chicken skewers.
