Kirin Ichiban Shibori Garden (Tokyo store), a limited-time store that offers "Ichiban Shibori" brand beer, will open again this year. The standard "Kirin Ichiban Shibori Raw Beer", "Ichiban Shibori Frozen [Raw]" with crisp and cold foam, and snacks using malt are offered.

The purpose is "local most squeezed"

The author who rarely drinks outside even in the summer. The purpose of reaching Aoyama in the heat of midsummer is "Ichiban Shibori in 47 prefectures" offered at the store.

The 47 prefectures of Ichiban Shibori are 47 types of Ichiban Shibori made according to the climate and taste unique to each region. It has been gradually sold in various places since May, and now you can get "Tokyo-zukuri" at supermarkets and convenience stores in the Tokyo area.


Created with the concept of "supporting the people of Tokyo who are burning in their dreams," Tokyo-zukuri has a gorgeous scent and umami, and has a stylish taste that suits the night view of the city. It certainly fits the image of Tokyo, but is it really different from other areas? Maybe they have the same taste ...? I would like to confirm such a question!

You can drink and compare!

On the day I visited, the "Comparison of the most squeezed drinks in 47 prefectures" event was held, and the talent Chinatsu Wakatsuki appeared as a guest. I challenged the "dominant Ichiban Shibori" in neighboring Tokyo, Chiba, and Yokohama, and answered all the questions correctly.


Then, when I tried some tastings, the tastes were really different! The amber-colored Yokohama-making is fruity and heavy, the Chiba-making is refreshing and easy to drink, and the impression is perfect for summer barbecue. ..



The author, who grew up in Tokyo, has met people from various origins, but it is certainly interesting because it expresses the personality or image of that region. By the way, Mr. Wakatsuki's birthplace, "Saitama-zukuri," which says "local love is strong and people are bright," will be released in August, and I'm looking forward to it as well.

The 47 prefectures of Ichiban Shibori will be released sequentially from May to October, so the brands offered at the store will change from time to time. At the same time, a food menu using local ingredients will be prepared. You can go and drink and compare them many times, or you can look for them while traveling. Traveling to Japan with beer seems to be interesting this summer!
