About Kirin Ichiban

Kirin Ichiban is a Japanese pale lager brewed using only the first-press wort — ichiban shibori — which produces a rounder, softer malt character than the dry Japanese lagers. It completes a Japanese three-brand set with Asahi and Sapporo for hospitality buyers.

Kirin Ichiban wholesale FAQ

What quantity do I need to order Kirin Ichiban?
There is no published minimum. Volume is agreed per enquiry against the format, the destination and how the shipment is being loaded. A full pallet is the most efficient unit for a single line, and smaller quantities are routinely supplied inside a mixed pallet or mixed container alongside other brands.
Which Kirin Ichiban formats are available for wholesale?
Currently listed formats are 330 ml bottle, 500 ml can. Case configuration and cases per pallet differ between formats, so both are confirmed against the specific SKU offered. Formats not listed here can often be sourced on request.
Can Kirin Ichiban be combined with other brands in one container?
Yes. Mixed-brand containers are a core part of what we do — lines from several source markets are consolidated at partner facilities in the Netherlands and loaded into a single container under one invoice and one documentation set. The container planner shows indicative floor, weight and volume utilisation before you commit.
Which Incoterms are available?
We quote against EXW, FCA, FOB, CFR, CIF for this brand. Which terms apply depends on the destination, the routing and the agreed division of responsibility, and the term is fixed in the written quotation rather than assumed.
How is manufacturing origin confirmed?
Brand origin, manufacturing origin and physical stock location are recorded separately. The manufacturing origin of the specific consignment offered is confirmed with the quotation, because it affects labelling, excise treatment and import documentation at the destination.
Can you quote freight to my destination port?
Yes. Tell us the destination port or city with your requirement and we quote against the Incoterm you need. Destination-specific import licensing, labelling and excise requirements are reviewed before a quotation is issued.
