Malt dictates a beer’s flavor, so we go to great lengths to choose only the best from Japan, North America, Europe, and Australia.
After we’ve examined the malt thoroughly, we draft a shortlist of the finest, and our experts make their final selections using their expertise, experience, and instinct. In our endless quest to find the best, we’ve even developed new strains of malt for better flavor. This uncompromising spirit goes into the entire process of brewing KIRIN ICHIBAN, giving it unparalleled quality and flavor.
