Korinbo Jibilba Introduces 8 Taps, Including Jokun Brewing Lab's "Basha Uma Lager"
The beer pub Korinbo Jibilba in Katamachi, Kanazawa, has unveiled its spring tap board. The lineup features eight beers, from Jokun Brewing Lab's "Basha Uma Lager" to Helles Lager, Yuzu Gose, SAKE YEAST BEER, and Porter.
Hop BroThe Katamachi, Kanazawa beer pub Korinbo Jibilba has rolled out its spring tap board. The centerpiece is Jokun Brewing Lab's "Basha Uma Lager," and I really like that it's a Hoppy Lager that goes with meals.
MugiWait, a Hoppy Lager that goes with food!? I always thought lagers were all about being crisp and clean, so it actually has some hop character too.
Hop BroExactly. It's 4.5% ABV, so it's easy to drink, and the fact that you can try it in two sizes, Glass 473 ml and Small 295 ml, is smart. Start with the larger one, and if you like it, go for a second round.
MugiThat sounds fun! And being able to compare them on the blackboard really gives it that beer-pub feel. Doing that in springtime Kanazawa would be such a hype moment.
Hop BroThe rest of the lineup is strong too. Grains of Wrath's "Frost Hammer" from Oregon in the U.S. is a Helles Lager, meaning a clean-style lager that gently shows off the richness of the malt.
MugiWhoa! But Helles Lager sounds so German just from the name! So I just need to remember it as a clear, easy-drinking style?
Hop BroThat's right. On top of that, Green Cheek × Yokohama Bay Brewing's "Suitcase Of Yuzu Gose" is a Gose with bright yuzu acidity that wakes up your palate, Inkhorn's "Osprey" is a West Coast Triple IPA with a hop explosion, and Nara Brewing's "Underwater" is a SAKE YEAST BEER, so they have the more adventurous styles covered too.
MugiWait, SAKE YEAST BEER means sake yeast!? That's a thing!? And then a Triple IPA too? If you drink them in order, your emotions are going to be working overtime.
Hop BroTo finish, there's also Baird Beer's "Black Ship Porter," plus Baird Beer's "Imperial IPA" and Brew Classic's "Wolf Chop," so it feels like an 8-tap lineup full of personality. And because Korinbo Jibilba has strong house-made dumplings and fish and chips, it's the kind of place where both your drink and your appetite keep going.
MugiNow I'm completely hungry...! Starting quietly with dumplings and porter, resetting the palate with yuzu gose, and then settling down with a lager at the end sounds absolutely perfect.

In the post, manager Sunayama greets readers with "Hello, I'm Sunayama!" and also mentions the cherry blossoms in Kanazawa being at their best, the lively weekend streets, and the three new part-time staff members who recently joined.

Inkhorn Brewing's "Osprey" is a West Coast Triple IPA, Baird Beer's "Imperial IPA" is a classic IPA, Brew Classic's "Wolf Chop" is a Wheat IPA, Nara Brewing's "Underwater" is a SAKE YEAST BEER, and Baird Beer's "Black Ship Porter" rounds things out.

With house-made dumplings and fish and chips as signature dishes, it's the kind of place where you can browse the blackboard and enjoy side-by-side tastings in different sizes.
