Hop BroAichi Prefecture's Beer Cellar Ichinomiya updated its taps, and the Oni Densetsu and Minoh lineup suddenly got really interesting.
MugiWhoa! Just the name 'Oni Densetsu' sounds strong, and now I actually want to know what's in the beer!
Hop BroFirst up is Oni Densetsu's Kinoni Pale Ale in the Mosaic Single Ver.. It gives off citrus and tropical notes, with solid bitterness too.
MugiMosaic Single Ver. What even is that? It sounds like a code name, like you need to decode it before drinking!
Hop BroBasically, it means they’re using Mosaic hop on its own. That makes the aroma really clear, and the good parts of a pale ale come through plainly.
MugiI see! Then it really feels like the aroma is the star, and it sounds fun from the moment you bring the glass to your nose!
Hop BroMinoh Beer's Blooming IPA is springlike too. It combines Belgian yeast spiciness and floral notes with American hop brightness.
MugiBelgian yeast makes it sound stylish all of a sudden! But a spicy IPA is like a beer with two swords!
Hop BroAnd Minoh's Saruyama Shikao is a collaboration with Akishika Sake Brewery, and it's a Japanese Rice Brut. It uses rice koji, so it comes out very dry with a sake-like nuance.
MugiRice koji too!? A beer that tastes like sake would make me feel smarter when I drink it, and it’d straighten my posture a bit.
Hop BroThe last one, Session Black IPA, is a light dark beer with soft roast character plus citrus from Strata and Simcoe. It looks heavy, but it's surprisingly easy to drink.
MugiBlack but light? Isn't that cheating? This must be what they mean by fun side-by-side tastings; there's no way we can finish at just one place!
Hop BroSeriously, the wide range of aromas means you can have this much fun in one spot. Today in Ichinomiya, it makes me want to really savor everything from Oni Densetsu to Minoh.
MugiYeah, after reading this I already want to drink right now! First a spring-friendly IPA, then I want to finish with the black one!
A lineup that broadens the range of aromas and drinkability with four taps open
The beer pub Beer Cellar Ichinomiya in Ichinomiya, Aichi Prefecture updated its tap information in a post. The post said, 'We look forward to serving you again today' and 'Open from 12:00 to 21:00,' and announced that Oni Densetsu beer had been tapped again after a long time.

Next came three Minoh Beer selections. 'Blooming IPA' is a spring-limited IPA, with Style IPA, ABV 6.0%, IBU 21.0. It is designed around the spiciness and floral aromas from Belgian yeast, layered with the brightness of American hops, putting the hops' character front and center. 'Saruyama Shikao' is a collaboration between Akishika Sake Brewery and Minoh Beer, with Style Japanese Rice Brut, ABV 7.0%, IBU 15.0. Its dry finish from the use of rice koji is a hallmark, and it is introduced as a glass that evokes sake-like nuances. 'Session Black IPA' is Style Session IPA, ABV 4.5%, IBU 28.0. It is a light-drinking dark beer that layers soft roasted malt richness with citrus and tropical aromas from Strata and Simcoe.
