Kobe's Onajiananomujina, Including Oni Densetsu's 'Kinki Pale Ale' in Today's 7 Taps
The beer pub "Onajiananomujina" in Sannomiya, Kobe, updated its "Today’s Tap & Food" lineup for April 23. Led by Oni Densetsu's "Kinki Pale Ale Comet Single Ver.", taps from BreakEdge, root+branch, Shiga Kogen Beer, and open air are lined up, and a large batch of new canned arrivals is also being announced.
Hop BroAt Onajiananomujina in Kobe's Sannomiya, today's 7 taps are pretty interesting. Led by Oni Densetsu's Kinki Pale Ale Comet Single Ver., it's a day when each brewery's personality shows up side by side.
MugiWait, with only seven beers on tap, it's that intense!? Oni Densetsu's Kinki Pale Ale sounds strong just from the name...
Hop BroAnd the first star is the clear-finished Comet Single Ver. When you narrow the hop bill down to one variety, the aroma's outline becomes easier to see, and because there is less extra information, the malt sweetness and bitterness come through more cleanly.
MugiWhat is that! Narrowing the hops to one variety is like choosing only one topping on ramen?
Hop BroPretty close, but this is about flavor design. BreakEdge's REC, root+branch's Propeller and the one with the long title, Shiga Kogen Beer's Snow Monky, and open air's southern winds are all on tap, so the fun part is being able to compare clear and hazy side by side.
MugiOhhh! Does comparing clear and hazy change more than just how they look?
Hop BroExactly. Clear beers tend to have a sharper outline, while hazy beers more easily show hop thickness and juiciness. And today there's also a rainy-day special: if you show the story, you get 100 yen off a half pour or 200 yen off a full pour, so it's set up to be an easy detour in Sannomiya.
MugiWhoa, that's great on a rainy day! A discount for showing the story means I basically have no choice but to go there with an umbrella!
Hop BroThe food is also light and simple with masala cashews, 2Bro pizza, and Namatyan no Ate, so it has a beer-first lineup. And on the bottle side there are barrel-aged Yamabushi variants, while the cans have arrived in huge numbers with names like Trillium and Fidens, so the options are so broad that you'd almost get lightly lost inside the bar.
MugiWow, strong on taps, bottles, and cans is the best! Today in Kobe's Sannomiya I want more than just one drink, I want several. I'm already getting the urge to drink!
Today's Taps
On April 23, "Onajiananomujina" is open from 18:00 to 22:45 and has updated its Today’s Tap & Food lineup. It is also offering a rainy-day deal: show the story and get 100 yen off a half pour or 200 yen off a full pour, making it an easy place to stop by even when the weather is bad and a lineup centered on beer is especially appealing.
There are seven draft beers. First up is Oni Densetsu's "Kinki Pale Ale Comet Single Ver.," poured with a clear finish, followed by BreakEdge's "REC," root+branch's "Propeller" and "The Theory and Practice of Oligarchical Collectivisim - Chapter I: Ignorance is Strength," Shiga Kogen Beer's "Snow Monky," and open air's "southern winds." Since the labels include both "clear" and "hazy," it makes for an easy comparison between a beer with crisp contours and one with greater hop depth.
The food menu has three items: masala cashews, 2Bro pizza, and Namatyan no Ate. The lineup is light enough not to interfere with the character of the taps, making it a setup that lets the day's beers take center stage.
The bottle selection is also strong, with Shiga Kogen Beer listed alongside "Extra Quadrupel (barrel-aged Yamabushi)" with Mugi Zakkoku, "barrel-aged Yamabushi ore no sake ga nome ne no ka / grand cru #2" with OXBOW, and "barrel-aged Yamabushi taro \"grand cru\"" with Minoh Beer. In addition, cans from Noble Savage, Trillium, Fidens, root+branch, RAR, and Messorem have arrived in large quantities. Hazy and fruit styles are also highlighted as a strong part of the lineup, making it a day where you can choose across draft, bottle, and can.
For anyone in Kobe's Sannomiya who wants to follow craft beer in good condition on the day, this update stands out for combining the casual feel of a standing-bar taproom with a wide range of choices.
