Kirin Ichiban Japan’s Premium Beer 5% ABV 24x0.33 l is an internationally renowned Japanese beer, known for its high quality and its pure, full-bodied flavour profile. It is produced by the renowned Kirin Brewery Company, which has been one of Japan’s leading breweries since 1888 and is regarded worldwide as a symbol of authentic Japanese brewing craftsmanship.


What makes Kirin Ichiban special is the so-called ‘First Press’ brewing process. This involves using only the first press juice from the malted barley – similar to the use of must or juice in wine production. This gentle method ensures a particularly mild, clear and pure flavour, which sets the beer apart from those produced using conventional brewing methods. With an alcohol content of 5% vol., it is pleasantly smooth and well-balanced, making it an ideal choice for many occasions.


The practical pack of 24 x 0.33 l bottles is aimed primarily at the hospitality industry, parties or beer lovers who wish to enjoy the distinctive character of premium Japanese beers in larger quantities.
