Onaji Anano Mujina, 7 Beers Including Onidensetsu and Open Air on Today’s Tap List
The Kobe, Sannomiya beer pub Onaji Anano Mujina announced its “today’s tap & food” lineup in an Instagram post on April 4. Seven distinctive beers from Japan and abroad were featured, including Onidensetsu, BreakEdge, Ise Kadoya Brewery, open air, and Root + Branch Brewing.
Hop BroOnaji Anano Mujina in Kobe, Sannomiya is really pushing it with its April 4 tap announcement. With Onidensetsu, BreakEdge, Ise Kadoya Brewery, and open air all on the list, today is basically a beer tasting showdown.
MugiWait, all 7 at once!? If there are that many, I’d totally end up wanting everything and not be able to choose!
Hop BroThe lead beer, Onidensetsu’s 'Kinoni Pale Ale Dolcita Single Ver.', layers tropical aromas with candy-like notes and citrus, then finishes with a solid bitterness. It still has the light, snappy feel of a pale ale, but it’s got a real backbone.
MugiDolcita? What is that! Wait, does 'Single Ver.' mean they’re focusing on just one hop or something?
Hop BroBasically, it means they’re narrowing the hops to show off their character. BreakEdge’s 'dog' leans hazy, and because piney notes mix with tropical fruit and citrus, it drinks softly but smells lively.
MugiOhhh! Piney means kind of pine-tree-ish, right? It’s like a "forest beer," which is pretty cool!
Hop BroExactly, and Ise Kadoya Brewery’s 'Another cut' is all about fruitiness. Passion fruit, peach, guava, and lychee—it’s basically an assault of fruit-parfait aromas.
MugiWhat!? A beer with too much fruit? That’s basically dessert territory!
Hop Broopen air’s 'listen to the music' has orange and grapefruit with berry notes and even some grassiness, so it’s bright but still leaves a little green edge. The Root + Branch Brewing beer with the super-long name uses raw orange blossom honey, and it’s interesting as a beer that feels like a nod to the brand’s origins.
MugiThat name is intense! But raw honey does sound pretty special.
Hop BroAnd then BREW CLASSIC’s 'Eoraptor' brings passion fruit, grapefruit, lychee, and mango, while Du Bas’s 'RIEN DE MOINS' layers a white-wine-like aroma with dank character. It spans everything from hazy styles to drier IPA-leaning beers, so tasting them side by side at that 12-seat standing spot in Toomon-gai would be perfect.
MugiAnd it’s no cover charge with food allowed, so it’s almost dangerously easygoing! Today really makes you want more than just one drink in Kobe—you want a full tasting session!
