Onaji Ana no Mujina in Kobe's Sannomiya features Oni Densetsu and RAR collaborations on today's 7 taps
The beer pub Onaji Ana no Mujina in Kobe's Sannomiya lines up seven taps to match its May 24 special day, "Revived Onaji Makino Mujina." Alongside Oni Densetsu, Y.Market Brewing, open air, Break Edge, and Isekadoya Beer, two RAR collaboration beers are on the board, making it a lineup built for daytime tastings.
Hop BroOnaji Ana no Mujina in Kobe's Sannomiya is getting moving again for the May 24 special day. Today's a 7-tap tasting lineup, so it's going to be a pretty busy board from lunchtime onward.
MugiWait, seven taps is a lot! And it's starting with daytime drinking? That's already a guaranteed win!
Hop BroThe first things that catch the eye are Oni Densetsu's Kinki Pale Ale and Y.Market Brewing's Over Drive IP. Both are clear-style beers, so it's nice that you can directly compare how they drink.
MugiWhat do you mean, clear-style? Aren't all beers basically the same color? I'm already suspicious about the difference between cloudy and clear!
Hop BroBroadly speaking, one type is clear and crisp, while the other tends to feel cloudy and juicy because hop-derived components remain in the beer. This time both are lined up, so it's interesting to compare them.
MugiOhhh! So the five hazies in the back half mean it's basically a hop festival!
Hop BroExactly. There's open air's warm up, Break Edge's Cope, and Isekadoya Brewery's DDH Citra Hazy IPA. DDH stands for double dry hop, and in simple terms it's a method for boosting hop aroma.
MugiThat sounds way too casual for something called boosting! But just hearing it makes me want to drink it, and just the word Citra makes my nose want to toast already!
Hop BroAnd the RAR collaborations are the hot part here: Hop Butcher's Thunderstorm Inside and Brujos's Personal Plague are both on the board. This is a lineup that really pushes juicy depth.
MugiThe titles sound so ominous, but they probably taste amazing! But two collaboration beers definitely make the tasting even more fun.
Hop BroOn top of that, Onaji Ana no Mujina is a taproom on Nakayamate-dori in Kobe's Sannomiya area, and one of the good things about it is that you can bring in food. It also has the kind of beer-first character that makes chasing cans and bottles fun.
MugiThen today I want to go back and forth between clear and hazy! Reading this article already makes me want to head out for a drink in Kobe!
Hop BroExactly. Just the sound of tasting beers from noon is enough to make you happy. When you're in Kobe, the right move is to sit by the taps and think about your next drink.
