High Karapils tapped in Katamachi

Korinbo Jibiruba, a beer pub in Katamachi, Kanazawa, is now serving Minoh Beer’s High Karapils as a guest beer. The beer is an Italian Pilsner at 5.5% ABV, with gentle malt sweetness and a herbal aroma from noble hops. It keeps the clean drinkability of a lager while adding a clear hop-driven character.

That balance makes it easy to drink as a first beer of the day, but it also works well alongside food. The profile is crisp, yet not plain, so it should appeal both to regular craft beer drinkers and to anyone looking for a pilsner with a little more aroma and definition.

Korinbo Jibiruba is known as Kanazawa’s first craft beer specialist. The bar keeps eight draft beers on tap, direct from breweries in Japan and overseas, so guests can choose according to mood. Food options also lean beer-friendly, including handmade gyoza, house-smoked items, beef jerky, and Noto pork sausages. On Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays, it opens from 3 p.m., which makes it a convenient place for an early drink. For anyone following guest beer changes in Kanazawa, it is a bar worth noting.
