Unlike other beers, Kirin Ichiban only the first press of the wort is used. 'Ichiban Shibori' is a unique method of brewing beer at its purest from a single pure ingredient: 100% malt. This one-and-only technique gives Kirin Ichiban a unique taste and flavour found nowhere else in the world. Kirin Ichiban is a distinctively smooth and full-bodied beer from start to finish. It is the perfect accompaniment to a meal, be it Wagyu beef or spicy stir-fries.

Based on the 'Ichiban Shibori' method that uses only the first squeezed wort that flows out of the wort filtration process, Kirin have adopted a new dark malt to achieve a rich flavour with reduced impurities and astringency. They have adopted a 'dark lager type' as a new beer style, and have created a clear aftertaste that harmonizes with the umami of the barley. This 'dark lager type' beer uses bottom-fermenting yeast and is fermented slowly at low temperatures. It has a mellow taste of dark malt and a subtle sweetness, but the aftertaste is firm and free of impurities.

Kronenbourg 1664 is a perfectly balanced lager, slightly bitter, soft, crisp and noble. Brewed using the Strisselspalt hop known as the 'caviar of hops' which gives the beer its refined bitterness, balanced with a hint of fruity and floral aroma.
