Kobe’s Onaji Ana no Mugina opens seven beers led by Kinki and NEW Onigashima IX
Onaji Ana no Mugina in Kobe shared its July 12 tap list on Instagram. The lineup is led by NEW Onigashima IX, a collaboration between Onidensetsu and Ymarket.brewing, alongside beers from Breakedge, Marlowe, North Park and Beak Brewing.
Hop BroSannomiya's Onajiananomujina has a seven-tap lineup today. With NEW Onigashima IX from Oni Densetsu x Y.Market Brewing plus Kinki and Marlowe, it's basically a tractor beam for hop fans.
MugiWhat! NEW Onigashima IX already sounds dangerous. Are there nine demons in it, or do you become one after nine pints?
Hop BroThe name is louder than the threat. It's an Oni Densetsu x Y.Market collab, and two kegs are newly opened today. The whole board leans hazy, so it looks perfect for a hot day.
MugiHold on, what do cloudy and clear mean on a beer list? Why am I being tested by kanji before my first sip?
Hop BroCloudy means hazy IPA territory, clear means bright and transparent. A juicy hazy pour gives you soft body and big aroma, while the clear one snaps cleaner on the finish.
MugiOhhh, so Kinki Luminosa Single Ver. is the crisp reset button. That's the beer handing out numbered tickets at the entrance to Hop Festival!
Hop BroThat comparison is weirdly accurate. Because it's single-hop Luminosa, you can read the aroma more clearly, and leaving one crisp beer in a haze-heavy lineup feels very much like this place.
MugiAnd Marlowe has three beers on tap? William, Ghost Signatures: 3cone, and YEAHNOYEAH sound less like beer and more like an imported crime series.
Hop BroThen you add North Park's X-Raying Nectaron and Breakedge's Approach, and the bar's only great kegs policy really shows. They even have Shiga Kogen bottles and cans from TEST, Fidens, TreeHouse, and more.
MugiIf there are masala cashews and 2Bro pizza too, then I am ready. Show me that lineup in Sannomiya and I'm getting pulled straight into Onajiananomujina.
Hop BroStart with NEW Onigashima IX, reset with Kinki, then dive back into the hazy side. As a first stop tonight, this is dangerously convincing.
Onaji Ana no Mugina, a craft-beer pub in Sannomiya, Kobe, posted its current tap list on July 12. The bar sits on the first floor of a building in the Higashimon-gai area and is known for its counter-focused, easygoing atmosphere and for serving only beers the owner genuinely wants to pour.
This round features seven draft beers, with a clear hop-forward lean and several hazy styles in the mix. The post notes that two items were newly opened and that the lineup should be easy to drink even in the summer heat.
Draft lineup
- Kinki Ruminous Single Ver.: clear / Onidensetsu (Noboribetsu, Hokkaido)
- NEW Onigashima IX: hazy, new / Ymarket.brewing (Nagoya, Aichi)
- Approach: hazy / Breakedge (Hiroshima)
- William: hazy / Marlowe (New York, USA)
- X-Raying Nectaron: hazy / North Park (California, USA)
- Ghost Signatures: 3cone: hazy / Marlowe (New York, USA)
- YEAHNOYEAH: hazy / Marlowe (New York, USA) x Beak Brewing (UK)
The bar keeps one clean, clear option in the mix, but the overall direction stays firmly hop-led. The bottle shelf also included Shiga Kogen Beer, while the can list pointed to a wide range of domestic and overseas breweries such as TEST, Fidens, TreeHouse, North Park, Phase Three and Messorem.
Food on the menu included masala cashews, 2Bro pizza and Namachan’s a la carte bites, making it an easy place to settle in with a beer or two. If you are looking for a serious taproom in Kobe with a selective, hop-driven lineup, this is one to keep on your radar.
