MugiWow, the name Sorachi Kinetsu already sounds beautiful! But what kind of beer is it?
Hop BroIt's a Koji Ale with an ABV of 7%. It uses rice koji, and what's interesting is the gentle ginjo-like aroma of pear and white grape.
MugiKoji ale? What is that? The idea of rice in beer feels kind of strange!
Hop BroBasically, the umami from rice koji rounds off the edges and adds a Japanese nuance to the aroma. So it's not just sweet; it comes together with a soft finish.
MugiOh, I see! And if it goes well with Japanese food, it sounds like it would be perfect with a meal!
Hop BroThat's what makes it so Jibilva, too. The place always has 8 taps, and the blackboard was lined with distinctive beers from Japan and abroad.
MugiEight beers?! That's basically a beer tasting paradise. It sounds fun even before choosing!
Hop BroThe lineup has a huge range too, from lager to triple IPA to barrel-aged stout. Having KBS on tap is pretty bold, right?
MugiAnd if you can pair it with handmade dumplings and Ishikawa snacks, it makes me want to go on a 3 p.m. daytime drinking day!
Hop BroExactly. Start with choosing from the blackboard in Katamachi, enjoy the Japanese aromas with Sorachi Kinetsu, and finish with dumplings.
MugiDeal! Today I'm definitely in the mood for more than just one drink!
Korinbo Jibilva in Katamachi, Kanazawa, is a beer pub that always keeps eight kinds of craft beer on tap. It is also known as a place to enjoy beer alongside handmade dumplings and snacks made with local Ishikawa ingredients, and since it opens at 3 p.m. on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, it is convenient for daytime drinking as well.
In this Instagram post, after the owner's greeting, CRAFT BEER BASE's 'Sorachi Kinetsu' was tapped. The style is Koji Ale, with an ABV of 7%, and the description mentioned pear and white grape notes reminiscent of ginjo aroma, herbal nuances, and a mellow umami derived from rice koji. It also noted that the beer pairs well with Japanese food, making it an interesting pour designed with food pairing in mind.
The blackboard in the post clearly showed the current lineup. The eight beers on tap were:
- Miyazaki Hideji Beer 'Taiyo no Lager' - Pilsner
- Gangi Brewing 'MEET ME' - Single Hop Pale Ale
- The Veil Brewing Co. 'Demon' - West Coast Triple IPA
- OUR BREWING 'Hoppy Hour' - Cold IPA
- BREW CLASSIC 'Doris no Jagger wo' - American Belgo Style

- Founders 'KBS' - Barrel Aged Imperial Stout
The lineup ranges from a light lager to a triple IPA and a barrel-aged stout, offering a selection that changes the drinking experience with each glass. Having domestic and overseas breweries side by side at the same counter is also very much in Jibilva's style. For anyone looking to compare the character of different beers in Katamachi, this is a place where the fun starts with reading the blackboard and choosing what to drink.
