Kohrinbo Jibiruba, a craft beer pub in Katamachi, Kanazawa, has tapped Minoh Beer’s Haikara Pils as a guest beer. According to the introduction by staff member Sunayama, the beer is an Italian Pilsner with an ABV of 5.5%.

Haikara Pils is built around the crisp, refreshing character expected from a pilsner, while offering soft malt sweetness and herbal aromas from noble hops. Its light drinkability makes it suitable as a first pour, but it also has enough structure to enjoy alongside food.

Kohrinbo Jibiruba is known as Kanazawa’s first craft beer specialty shop and regularly serves eight draft beers sourced from breweries in Japan and abroad. The pub offers both counter and table seating, making it comfortable for solo visits as well as tasting sessions with friends. Food options include handmade gyoza, house-smoked dishes, beef jerky, and Noto pork sausages.

The beer’s malt sweetness and hop character should pair naturally with savory and salty dishes. The pub also opens from 3 p.m. on Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays, making Haikara Pils a fitting choice for an afternoon beer in Kanazawa’s Katamachi area.
