Kirin Ichiban Premium Beer – 24 × 330ml Bottles
£44.99
Kirin Ichiban Premium Beer is a refined Japanese lager known for the brand's first-press brewing method. Ichiban means number one, or first, which is a fitting name for a beer built around extracting only the first, flavour-rich portion of the malt wort.
It is made with 100% malt and bottled at 5% ABV, which emphasises the natural richness of barley without losing the easy drinkability Japanese lagers are loved for. Expect a balance of delicate malt, smooth texture and soft bitterness, with a clean finish.
The cream-and-gold label features Kirin's mythical creature and reflects a long brewing tradition. This case holds 24 bottles of 330ml, handy for parties and stocking up. Chiswick Wine lists it for fans of Japanese food. Please drink responsibly.

Tasting Notes
Brilliant clear gold with a fine white head and delicate sparkle. Fresh malt, white bread and gentle floral hops shape the aroma. The taste feels subtly fuller than many light lagers, with pure cereal sweetness, silky balance and mild bitterness that fades into a clean, satisfying finish.
Production Notes
Made using Kirin's first-press method, which uses the initial, flavourful wort rather than blending in later extractions. The producer specifies 100% malt, together with hops and water, for the standard beer. Lager fermentation keeps the profile smooth and clean; the recognised standard ABV is 5.0%
Food Pairing
Pair with sushi, grilled salmon, karaage, yakitori, miso-glazed aubergine, tempura, shabu-shabu, steamed dumplings and lightly seasoned seafood. Serve well chilled.

The History of Chiswick Wines
Chiswick Wine — A Neighbourhood Wine Venture with Heart
Born from the passion of two wine enthusiasts, Chiswick Wine is more than just a bottle shop. It is the result of five years of dreaming, planning, and sourcing with purpose. Our founders left their careers to create something that would bring people together, support sustainability, and celebrate the beauty of honest wine making.
Every detail of Finchley Wine reflects that vision. The space is thoughtfully designed with an organic, natural aesthetic and shelves filled with handpicked bottles from producers who care for their land as much as their craft. We call it wine design, a blend of taste, community, and creativity that turns every visit into an experience.
At Chiswick Wine, you will find not only distinctive wines but also a welcoming space built on connection, sustainability, and local spirit.
