Onaji Anano Mujina adds Oni Densetsu's NEW Oni Kuma IPA
The Kobe beer pub Onaji Anano Mujina featured NEW Oni Kuma IPA from Oni Densetsu, a rare white-hued hazy IPA with orange-dank aromatics and a crisp finish. It was presented as the sixth and final beer in the autumn Setsubun lineup.
Hop BroToday I want to talk about the beer that just showed up at Onaji Ana no Mujina in Sannomiya: Oni Densetsu’s NEW Oni Kuma IPA.
MugiWhat! NEW Oni Kuma IPA sounds less like a beer and more like something that could win a bear-wrestling contest.
Hop BroThe look is just as intense too. This one is a white hazy IPA, so the moment it’s poured you can tell it’s not your usual hazy.
MugiWait, what does white hazy even mean? Nobody secretly added milk, right?!
Hop BroNo milk, don’t worry. That pale cloudy look comes from proteins and hop haze, and it gives the beer a softer impression.
MugiAnd then the aroma says orange dank? That sounds like an orange grove after a dramatic tackle.
Hop BroI respect the image, but dank aroma means deep resinous, herbal hop character, layered with citrus and tropical notes.
MugiOhh, so it’s juicy like orange juice, but the finish stays crisp? That contrast sounds really fun.
Hop BroExactly. At 7.5% ABV and 50 IBU, the slightly dry mouthfeel makes it easier to drink than the previous Maki, while the bitterness still lands.
MugiAnd this was the final autumn Setsubun beer, the sixth one in the series? That’s the kind of thing that makes me want to head to Kobe.
Hop BroIt uses Simcoe, Mosaic, Citra, YCH303, Nectaron, and Talus, so it’s basically all-out hop character, but it still finishes lighter than you expect.
MugiThat settles it, I want a white hazy toast tonight and I want to meet this Oni Kuma for myself!
Kobe beer pub Onaji Anano Mujina has introduced NEW Oni Kuma IPA from Oni Densetsu. In the post, it appears as the sixth and final beer in the autumn Setsubun lineup, and its pale, hazy appearance immediately stands out as something unusual.
The beer comes from Oni Densetsu in Noboribetsu, Hokkaido, and is labeled as an Oni Densetsu-style Hazy IPA. It sits at 7.5% ABV and 50 IBU, with Simcoe, Mosaic, Citra, YCH303, Nectaron, and Talus in the hop bill. The aroma leans dank with citrus and tropical notes, while the palate is a little dry, giving it a juicy orange-juice impression without feeling heavy.
The post also references the previous beer, "Maki" (麻鬼), noting that this release is a bit lighter and easier to drink. Even so, the bitterness and firm hop character are still there, so it should satisfy people who want a full-on hazy profile.
Onaji Anano Mujina is the kind of Kobe beer pub that rewards a focused visit: a place for drinkers who want to follow the details of each tap and enjoy the differences in hop expression, finish, and texture.
