Onaji Anano Mujina to host a seven-tap Oni Festival from Aug. 7
The Kobe beer pub Onaji Anano Mujina will run its "Autumn Setsubun: Oni Festival" from Aug. 7 to 9. The seven-tap lineup is centered on Oni Densetsu, offering a focused tasting of pale ales and IPAs.
Hop BroAt Onaji Ana no Mujina in Kobe's Sannomiya, Autumn Setsubun: Oni Festival runs from August 7 to 9. It is absolutely the kind of three-day event that tests a beer fan's self-control.
MugiWait, Setsubun in August is already wild, and seven Oni-themed taps sounds like the demons rented out the whole place!
Hop BroThe lineup is strong. Six beers come from Oni Densetsu in Noboribetsu, Hokkaido, built around pale ales and IPAs, and then one more joins from Yaho Brewing.
MugiOooh! But what does pale ale vs. IPA really mean? IPA sounds like it wants to challenge me to a fight.
Hop BroVery roughly, pale ale is lighter and easiergoing, while IPA pushes hop bitterness and aroma much more to the front. That makes this kind of side-by-side tasting really fun.
MugiOkay, but you casually said clear and cloudy like we switched from beer to skincare and soup. What does that mean?
Hop BroThat is about appearance and mouthfeel. Clear beers usually feel crisp, while hazy IPAs often have a juicy, plush texture. Going from Gold Oni Pale Ale Rock Ver. II to NEW Oni Kuma IPA or Oni Iwajo IPA would be a great ride.
MugiThat sounds dangerously easy to keep drinking! And if Yaho is pouring Hare no Hi Sennin 2017, then this Oni festival suddenly has a hermit joining the party too!
Hop BroI would grab that curveball first and then jump back into the Oni lineup. The hours are 18:00 to 23:00 with last call at 22:15, plus masala cashews, 2Bro pizza, and snacks, and even BYO is fine as long as people go easy on perfume.
MugiThat is perfect after work! I want to start with Gabu Oni Pale Ale 2026 and finish with Oni no Hinangoya IPA. I am completely ready for a toast right now!
