Three Taps Appear at Kobe's Onaji Anano Mujina, Including a Hazy IPA
In an Instagram post from the beer pub Onaji Anano Mujina in Sannomiya, Kobe, three draft beers were introduced as today's taps and food pairings. The lineup, ranging across a Hazy IPA, West Coast IPA, and Quadruple IPA, highlights the owner’s keen curation.
Hop BroOnaji Anano Mujina in Sannomiya, Kobe is really coming in hot with today's taps. A three-beer lineup of a Hazy IPA, West Coast IPA, and Quadruple IPA really shows the owner's taste.
MugiWhoa! Three taps, three directions? My brain's getting cross-wired by beer signals! Why is the range so huge?
Hop BroThat's what makes it interesting. The first one, Wait / Hazy IPA, spreads its aroma softly and has a smooth mouthfeel, so it's the kind you enjoy for its juiciness.
MugiOhhh! Hazy IPA is the cloudy one, right? If it looks rich, does it taste rich too?
Hop BroExactly. Roughly speaking, the appeal is the haze and the aroma. It tends to bring out tropical impressions from the hops, and more often than not, it puts aroma and mouthfeel ahead of bitterness.
MugiThen what about the second one, Listen To The Music? Just from the title, it sounds so lively that my feet are already tapping on their own!
Hop BroThis one sounds like it has the crisp snap typical of a West Coast IPA. It should have a clear, defined bitterness and a dry finish, the kind you can keep drinking quickly. Even the name has great energy, which is almost unfair.
MugiWhat do you mean by crisp snap!? And a dry finish doesn't mean my throat turns into a desert, right!?
Hop BroDon't worry, that's not what it means. It's more like the sweetness doesn't linger and the aftertaste finishes cleanly. And the third one, the Quadruple IPA, is intense too, with 11.3% ABV giving it a presence that practically says, 'We're serious today.'
MugiWow, that's what you mean by a heavy body... But if a place in Kobe lines up styles this different, it's the kind of spot where you'll definitely hesitate, and also want to drink everything!
Hop BroExactly. This is what it means for a shop's personality to show up in the taps. True to its name, Onaji Anano Mujina should have the kind of atmosphere that makes beer lovers gather and talk.
MugiI can't handle this, I want a drink right now! If I go to Kobe, I'm seriously going to agonize over whether to start with Wait, dance with Listen To The Music, or just go all in!
Onaji Anano Mujina, a craft beer specialty shop in Sannomiya, Kobe, announced today's taps and food pairing on Instagram. The post lined up three beers selected from domestic and overseas breweries, creating a lineup that will catch the attention of beer fans.
The shop is a beer pub located on Nakayamate-dori in Chuo Ward, Kobe, Hyogo Prefecture, and its name reflects the wish to make it a place where craft beer lovers gather, in the spirit of the Japanese phrase meaning people of the same kind gather in one place. In addition to draft service, it also handles hard-to-find cans and bottles, making it a spot where a wide range of styles can be enjoyed in a relaxed setting.
The beers confirmed in that day's post were the following three.
- Wait / BREAK EDGE BEER WORKS / Hazy IPA / 7.5%
- Listen To The Music / OPEN AIR BREWING × TOWER RECORDS SHIBUYA / West Coast IPA / 6.5%
- Tout Va Très Bien Madame La Marquise... / Brasserie du Bas-Canada / Quadruple IPA / 11.3%
"Wait," the Hazy IPA, is a beer that promises a fragrant aroma and a full mouthfeel. By contrast, "Listen To The Music" suggests the crisp, clean drinking character typical of a West Coast IPA, and as the name implies, it seems like one that will go down easily. Meanwhile, the 11.3% "Tout Va Très Bien Madame La Marquise..." is a Quadruple IPA with a heavy body, a bold label that feels like something to be sipped slowly and appreciated for its presence.
Just comparing the three beers makes it clear that the shop does not lean toward a single style, but instead chooses beers that can be enjoyed according to the mood of the day. If you're drinking craft beer in Kobe, Onaji Anano Mujina is a place worth checking out, where the personality of the taps becomes the personality of the shop itself.
