Hop BroAt Kochi Beer Laboratory on Otesuji in Kochi, the news is that Ichiban Shibori Milko is now on tap!
MugiWait, Ichiban Shibori as in that Ichiban Shibori!? And what do you mean, Milko on Tap!?
Hop BroThe highlight this time is that you can enjoy the Milko pouring culture made famous by Czech Pilsner Urquell using Ichiban Shibori.
MugiWhen I hear Milko, I think of milk... but you mean it's a foam-focused style!?
Hop BroExactly. Instead of chugging the liquid, it's a Czech-style serving where you enjoy the sweetness and aroma of fine foam.
MugiWow! And Tap0 is KIRIN Lager on tap, so it's basically set up for a side-by-side comparison!
Hop BroThat's right. Put the light foam experience of Milko next to the classic feel of lager, and you can really feel the difference in pouring style in your body.
MugiThat's a lot of information! When should I go? I saw something about a schedule change!

Kochi Beer Laboratory, a beer pub located east of 55 Bangai at 1-8-8 Otesuji in Kochi City, announced a guest tap highlight in an Instagram post on March 13, 2026. This time's main feature is "Ichiban Shibori Milko".
In the post, the pub notes that March 22 is the birthday of KIRIN Ichiban Shibori, and introduces "Milko," one of the pours associated with the Czech Pilsner Urquell style, a serving method that lets you enjoy the foam. It explains that while Ichiban Shibori Milko was a regular offering when the shop first opened, it is now being served seasonally during this period.
The tap information also clearly states that Tap0 is KIRIN Lager. The lineup lets guests enjoy, at the same time, a beer that emphasizes a light, foamy experience and a standard lager for comparison. Rather than focusing only on the beer's "liquid" itself, the post highlights how different pouring methods change its character, which is likely to resonate with craft beer drinkers as well.
The business hours are 16:00-22:00 on the day of the post, and 17:00-22:00 the following day. For anyone in the Otesuji area who wants to enjoy beer along with pouring culture, this was a post with a very clear reason to stop by.
