Shiga Kogen Beer's 'Center of the Universe' on Tap at Kohrinbo Jibiruba
In a July 9 Instagram post, Kohrinbo Jibiruba in Kanazawa highlighted a guest pour of Shiga Kogen Beer's 'Center of the Universe.' The IPA is listed at 6% ABV, with herbal, lemongrass-like aromatics and a firm bitterness.
Hop BroAt Korinbo Jibir Bar in Katamachi, Shiga Kogen Beer just put Center of the Universe on tap today.
MugiWhat! That name is intense! Center of the universe sounds like it has its own gravity!
Hop BroIt’s an IPA at 6% ABV with herbal aromatics, a lemongrass-like freshness, and a firm bitterness, which is a pretty great setup.
MugiOkay, but when you say noble hop character, it suddenly feels like I walked into a science lab.
Hop BroNothing too scary there. It just means refined, grassy, floral notes, so think herbal, breezy aroma instead of textbook jargon.
MugiOhh, so it starts crisp with that lemongrass feel, then finishes with a clean IPA bite. I can work with that!
Hop BroExactly. And Korinbo Jibir Bar keeps eight draft taps going, with direct-shipped beers from Japan and abroad, so the lineup stays fun.
MugiNo way, that means every visit is different. You go in for one pint and suddenly it’s an accidental bar crawl!
Hop BroThen add their handmade gyoza and dishes with local Ishikawa ingredients, and bitterness with dumplings starts sounding like a serious plan.
MugiThat’s unfairly appealing. A place where you can pair beer with real food always gets extra points from me.
Hop BroThey open at night on weekdays and from 3 p.m. on weekends, so I’m already picturing a straight shot to Katamachi for an early IPA.
MugiThen it’s settled! Let’s check the pint of the day at Korinbo Jibir Bar and toast with Center of the Universe.
On its July 9 Instagram post, Kohrinbo Jibiruba introduced a guest beer from Shiga Kogen Beer: 'Center of the Universe'. The post lists the beer as an IPA at 6% ABV and describes it as having a herbal hop character, a fresh lemongrass-like aroma, and a clean, sharp bitterness.

Food is part of the appeal as well. The bar serves its signature handmade gyoza along with dishes built around Ishikawa ingredients, making it easy to pair the beer with a proper meal. With evening hours on weekdays and a 3 p.m. opening on weekends and holidays, it is also a practical stop for an early pint. For beer drinkers in Kanazawa, it is the kind of place where checking the current tap list feels like part of the visit.
