Experience Kirin Ichiban at Sydney Sake Festival 2026.
Bringing a taste of Japan to Sydney, Kirin Ichiban is a premium Japanese beer known for its distinctively smooth, full bodied and balanced taste. “Ichiban” means “first” and “best” in Japanese, reflecting the quality and craftsmanship behind every glass.
What sets Kirin Ichiban apart is its First Press method. Much like extra virgin olive oil, only the first extraction of the malt liquid is used, when the ingredients are at their purest. While most brewers use a blend of first and second pressed malt liquid, Kirin has pioneered and mastered this method to create Kirin Ichiban’s unique, balanced and pure taste.
At Sydney Sake Festival 2026, visitors can experience this iconic Japanese beer right here in Australia. Visit the Kirin Ichiban booth and try a sample for yourself!
