Onaji Ana no Mujina Introduces Three Domestic and International Taps, Including a Hazy IPA
At the craft beer pub Onaji Ana no Mujina in Kobe's Sannomiya, craft beer selected by the owner is served on tap. In this post, three labels from BREAK EDGE BEER WORKS, OPEN AIR BREWING, and Brasserie du Bas-Canada were lined up, and the hop-forward lineup stood out.
Hop BroThis time, the tap lineup at the Kobe Sannomiya beer pub Onaji Ana no Mujina is pretty bold.
MugiWhoa! I'm already curious! What kind of lineup is it with three domestic and international taps?
Hop BroFirst up is BREAK EDGE BEER WORKS from Hiroshima with Wait / Hazy IPA. The hop aroma comes in softly, and juiciness is the star.
MugiOhhh! But wait, does a Hazy IPA mean it's one of those cloudy beers?
Hop BroExactly. It has a rounded look and flavor, and it's the kind of beer you enjoy more for aroma and fruitiness than bitterness. So hop-forward beer is the perfect description.
MugiI get it! Then OPEN AIR BREWING's Listen To The Music sounds fun just from the name!
Hop BroThis is a collaboration between the brewery in Hyogo and TOWER RECORDS SHIBUYA, and its appeal is the defined bitterness you'd expect from a West Coast IPA.
MugiWow, that sounds like it would really snap you awake! Does a dry finish mean you can just keep gulping it down?
Hop BroRight, it finishes cleanly. And the last one is Brasserie du Bas-Canada from Canada, a Quadruple IPA.
Mugi11.3% is strong! This is definitely the kind of heavy-hitting strength that makes you brace yourself before you even drink it!
Hop BroAnd it's easy to get to from Sannomiya Station, with an atmosphere that makes it easy to drop in alone, which is great.
MugiAnd if outside food is allowed, even better! I want to go right now and seriously agonize over what to drink today!
Onaji Ana no Mujina, in Kobe's Chuo Ward Sannomiya area, is a beer pub where you can enjoy domestic and international craft beer on tap. As its name suggests, it has the feel of a hidden retreat where people with the same interests naturally gather, and it is known for its curated tap list of beers only from breweries the owner genuinely likes.
The taps introduced in this post were all three beers with clearly different styles.
- BREAK EDGE BEER WORKS (Hiroshima) / Wait / Hazy IPA / 7.5%
- OPEN AIR BREWING (Hyogo) × TOWER RECORDS SHIBUYA / Listen To The Music / West Coast IPA / 6.5%
- Brasserie du Bas-Canada (Canada) / Tout Va Très Bien Madame La Marquise... / Quadruple IPA / 11.3%
"Wait," the Hazy IPA, is a beer centered on hop aroma and juiciness. "Listen To The Music" that follows is built for the crisp bitterness and dry finish typical of a West Coast IPA, while the final beer, "Tout Va Très Bien Madame La Marquise...," stands out for its heavy-hitting strength as an 11.3% Quadruple IPA. The lineup lets you enjoy a wide range, from light and brisk to rich and intense, all in one place.
The shop is located in an easy-to-reach spot from Sannomiya Station, and it is described as having an atmosphere that makes it easy to drop in alone. Its flexible policy of allowing outside food is another welcome point for people who want to focus on the beer. Even from the tap lineup alone, it comes through clearly that this is a place for enjoying the question of "what should I drink today?"
