Nomodachi's 'Oboroterasu' tapped at diagonal in Kofu, introducing a Hazy IPA
At diagonal, a beer pub in Kofu, Yamanashi, Nomodachi's 'Oboroterasu' was tapped. The style is Hazy IPA, and it is described as having a fruity flavor reminiscent of citrus, peach, and grapefruit.
Hop BroThe Kofu beer pub diagonal has tapped this one, and Nomodachi's 'Oboroterasu' has arrived. It's the kind of guest beer that instantly brightens up the bar's tap list.
MugiWhoa! The name 'Oboroterasu' already makes me curious! What kind of beer is it?
Hop BroIt's a Hazy IPA, so its appeal is all about haze and juiciness. And with an ABV of 7%, it still has some real drinking weight to it.
MugiA hazy beer means it looks kind of cloudy, right? What's the deal with that haze?
Hop BroBasically, it's aiming for haze and a juice-like impression. By not filtering too aggressively, it keeps the hop-driven aroma and depth, so even if it looks cloudy, that's part of the appeal.
MugiWow! And the flavor is supposed to be like mandarin and yellow peach, so it's basically a fruit festival instead of beer!
Hop BroExactly. The description says it has mandarin-like citrus notes, plus nuances of yellow peach and grapefruit. The hop blend includes ELANI, so the aroma is really bright and lively.
MugiELANI sounds powerful already! Does the hop combination really make that much of a difference?
Hop BroIt really does. Hops are like the blueprint for aroma, and a blend with ELANI makes it easy to build a tropical-leaning impression. This Oboroterasu ties together citrus, peach, and grapefruit really nicely.
MugiAnd it's draft too! Keg service feels special somehow, which I love.
Hop BroThat's the nice part. Nomodachi is a brand distributed as a special guest beer that you can drink at the venues that serve it. If you're hunting for craft beer in Kofu, you definitely don't want to miss tap updates from places like diagonal.

Hop BroIt is. I'd want to take my time with that slightly dry finish and the fruity aroma together. So in Kofu, let's enjoy even the foam.
