Kinsei Brewery Introduces New "ONITAIJI Hazy IPA" from Misawa City, Aomori
Kinsei Brewery introduced "ONITAIJI Hazy IPA" on Instagram. A hazy IPA from a brewery in Misawa, Aomori Prefecture, its label featuring an oni mask stands out, and the guide in the image confirms ABV 7% and a tax-included price of 660 yen.
Hop BroToday, from Kinsei Brewery in Misawa City, Aomori, we have the debut of ONITAIJI Hazy IPA. The oni mask label makes a bold statement from the moment you see it.
MugiWait, an oni!? That is the kind of beer that scares you and makes you want to drink it at the same time! An oni mask label has way too much impact, doesn't it?
Hop BroThat's the fun part. What's inside is a proper Hazy IPA, and the guide listed ABV 7% and a tax-included price of 660 yen.
MugiABV, what even is that? Beer jargon just showed up and started working, but is ABV 7% strong?
Hop BroABV means alcohol by volume. Seven percent is fairly robust, so it has real drinking heft, while still letting you enjoy the full-bodied hop aroma that hazy beers are known for.
MugiOhhh! And with hops that give off a peach-like aroma, it's basically guaranteed to be fruity. A peach-like aroma sounds so interesting!
Hop BroExactly. It puts the fruitiness up front, but keeps the bitterness in there too, so the point is that it has a firm bitterness instead of being sweet only.
MugiSo the label is flashy, but what's inside is serious. When I hear it's a bottle from Misawa, it makes me want to cheer it on!
Hop BroI like that they put the region's name front and center too. A pint that carries the name of the land is the kind of beer that makes you sit up a little before you even drink it.
MugiAll right, this one is definitely a must-try! First, let's check the aroma, then finish with the bitterness in a proper oni-slaying time!
Hop BroAgreed, let's chill it and take our time today. It's the kind of beer that makes you want to confirm the balance of aroma and bitterness both at the bar and at home.
MugiYep, with a 660-yen adventure, it's easy to jump in, and now I want to raise a glass right away!
In the photo Kinsei Brewery posted on Instagram, bottles lined up in a refrigerated case appear alongside a sign for `ONITAIJI Hazy IPA`. The sign reads "Aomori Prefecture, Misawa City," "Hazy IPA," "ABV 7%," and "¥660 (tax included)," making the product name, style, alcohol content, and price all clear.
The label uses a bold design centered on an illustration of a person wearing an oni mask, echoing the name `ONITAIJI`. It makes a strong visual impression, but the flavor direction is true to a hazy IPA. The caption introduces it as a beer that uses plenty of hops with peach-like aromas, balancing fruitiness with a firm bitterness.
Kinsei Brewery is a brewery in Misawa City, Aomori Prefecture. From the label's prominent use of the region's name and the straightforward product design that clearly conveys the style, you can see an intent to present it as a pint that carries the place's name. Beyond the flashiness, the key point seems to be how it delivers the heft of 7% drinking strength and the layered hop aroma typical of a hazy IPA.
Although a stated release date was not confirmed this time, at least the product photo and basic specs had been published at the time of posting. As a craft beer from Misawa, it can be called a bottle that balances playful label design with clear style communication.
