Hop BroAt Beer House TONOTO in Asahikawa, the Winter Oni Festival on February 6-7 is coming up. It's an event that goes all in on "oni," just like the shop name, and it sounds pretty exciting, doesn't it?
MugiWhoa! What do you mean, an event that goes all in on oni? It's not just a scary festival, it's a beer demon thing?
Hop BroExactly. TONOTO is a beer pub on 4-jo-dori 8-chome in Asahikawa, and its strength is that it focuses on Hokkaido craft beer. It's near Kaimono Park, and on some days it opens from 2 p.m., so it's easy to stop by.
MugiNice! Having a day that opens at 2 p.m. is such a help. The temptation to sneak in one more drink before the workday ends is real.
Hop BroAnd this time, the lineup visible on Wolt includes a set with Onidensetsu Beer, plus three Brasserie Knot beers. If you compare BIRD, WIND, and MOON, the aroma and bitterness really do show different personalities.
MugiWhat! The aroma and bitterness are different? Do they really change that much? I'm the kind of person who'd get totally lost trying to tell them apart!
Hop BroThe impression changes depending on the beer's aroma compounds and how the hops are used. When you taste them side by side, the difference in character really stands out, which makes it fun.
MugiI see! So the Kanki IPA and Shinichimonji they served before really fit the whole Oni Festival vibe, huh. Just the names get me hyped!
Hop BroExactly. Kanki IPA is a beer from Noboribetsu local beer Onidensetsu, so it pairs perfectly with the winter "oni" theme. For snacks, dried tomato and cream cheese or beef horumone slices dressed in refreshing ponzu sounds great, and that kind of strong snack lineup is very TONOTO.
MugiWhoa, hearing that makes it impossible to resist! It's one place to remember in Asahikawa, and today I just want to head out for a drink with the Oni Festival story as my snack!
