Japan & Malaysia: Kirin Ichiban beer launched in Malaysia

The iconic Japanese beer, Kirin Ichiban, has finally arrived in Malaysia, and was launched at an exclusive dinner and party at Daikanyama, Changkat Bukit Bintang, Kuala Lumpur, The Star Online reported on August 26.

Kirin is one of the most popular beers in Japan, with a history that dates back to 1888, when it was first brewed under the name Japan Brewery (which changed its name to Kirin Brewery in 1907).

Introduced in 1990, Kirin Ichiban is made exclusively from the first press of the wort, giving it a smooth, creamy yet crisp flavour. Kirin beer is distributed by Tong Woh Enterprise, and is available at selected outlets in Malaysia, including Daikanyama.
