Ichigo Ichie

One time, one meeting. Ichigo Ichie (一期一会) takes its name from the Japanese philosophy of cherishing every encounter as if it will never be repeated — and every sip of this farmhouse saison lives up to that sentiment. From Kyoto Brewing Company, the Belgian-inspired brewery founded by a Welsh, American and Canadian partnership in Japan's ancient capital, Ichigo Ichie is a hop-forward saison fermented with Belgian yeast.

Banana, cloves, leather and white pepper emerge upfront, followed by earthy citrus and biscuity malt. Carbonation is generous, the finish is dry and lasting. Treasure every glass.
