Kitazawa Konishi introduces the 9th NEW Onigashima collaboration with Noboribetsu Beer
At Kitazawa Konishi, a beer pub in Taizawa, Setagaya, the 9th installment of the annual NEW Onigashima series made with Noboribetsu Beer was featured. The beer is described as light-gold in color, with tropical, citrus, and pear-like notes.
Hop BroToday’s topic is NEW Onigashima Vol. 9 from Kitazawa Konishi in Daizawa, Setagaya. It’s the ninth yearly collab with Noboribetsu Beer, and it sounds seriously tempting.
MugiWhat, Onigashima? That name is intense! But it’s also a light gold pour, right? My brain can’t process “demon island” and “elegant glow” at the same time!
Hop BroThat contrast is the fun part. This one feels like a limited guest beer at Kitazawa Konishi, easygoing to drink but still built around a bright, expressive aroma.
MugiHow bright are we talking? The second I heard mango and peach, my head turned into a tropical fruit market with full sound effects!
Hop BroHonestly, that’s not far off. It leads with tropical notes, then layers on citrus and pear nuances, so it doesn’t stop at just “mango-forward.”
MugiHold on, “nuances” already sounds like beer class. And what does light-leaning medium body actually feel like when you drink it?
Hop BroBody is basically the thickness of the mouthfeel. Here it means light but not watery. It goes down smoothly, but still feels like a proper beer.
MugiOhh, that makes sense! That sounds super approachable, and if the hop aroma opens up with temperature, I’d actually want to sip it slowly.
Hop BroExactly. In a beer pub like Kitazawa Konishi, that’s where it gets fun. The fact that this is the ninth annual release makes it even more interesting for people who’ve been following the series.
Hop BroTalking about it is making me thirsty already. That juicy yet easygoing glass sounds like the kind of beer you want to study and crush at the same time.
MugiYep, I’m sold! A beer with fruit-packed hop aroma and that kind of drinkability? I want a glass in my hand right now!
The post from Kitazawa Konishi highlights the 9th release in the annual “NEW Onigashima” collaboration series with Noboribetsu Beer. In the description, the beer is presented as a light-gold pour with a body leaning slightly toward medium, making it an approachable yet expressive guest beer.
Aromatically, the beer is described with mango and peach-like tropical notes up front, followed by pink grapefruit, hassaku, and iyokan-like citrus character, plus a juicy pear-like freshness. The result is a beer that pairs vivid fruit aroma with a relatively easy-drinking profile, which should appeal to drinkers who enjoy hop-driven beers with a clean, juicy impression.
Kitazawa Konishi is a beer pub in Taizawa, Setagaya, Tokyo, and that setting suits this kind of release well. It is the sort of place where beer fans can follow limited collaborations and guest taps while paying attention to how aroma, temperature, and glassware shape the drinking experience. Because this is the 9th installment in a long-running annual series, it also has the appeal of continuity for people who follow recurring collaboration beers.
