Shiga Kogen Beer’s “Ikkyō Ryōtoku” on tap

Jibiruba, a beer pub in Katamachi, Kanazawa, Ishikawa, has tapped Shiga Kogen Beer’s “Ikkyō Ryōtoku.”

The beer is described as a Hazy Belgian IPA with an ABV of 7.5%. Its name reflects the beer’s combination of hazy IPA and saison characteristics.

Aromas suggest pineapple and mango, giving the beer a distinctly tropical profile. While it offers a gentle sweetness, the finish is dry. The beer’s bright, easy-drinking character also masks its 7.5% alcohol remarkably well, making it a beer to approach with some care while enjoying its expressive aroma and crisp finish.

A pub focused on beer and food

The accompanying post also introduces a guest cooking appearance by Jibiruba staff member Sunayama at “Taishū Sakaba Kern,” the restaurant run by former Jibiruba manager Fukuoka. The collaboration grew out of a previous gyoza competition and gave Sunayama the opportunity to prepare several dishes.

Jibiruba continues to develop creative snacks designed to pair with beer. “Ikkyō Ryōtoku” is therefore a natural choice for drinkers who want to explore how tropical hop character, Belgian-style fermentation, and a dry finish work alongside food.

For craft beer fans visiting Katamachi, this is a flavorful pour to seek out at Jibiruba.
