Onajiananomujina features Oni Densetsu's "Kinki Pale Ale" and 7 beers on today's taps
The beer pub "Onajiananomujina" in Kobe's Sannomiya updated its tap and food lineup for March 31. In addition to seven beers including Oni Densetsu's "Kinki Pale Ale Comet Single Ver." and Minoh Beer’s "Blooming IPA," the lineup also includes cans from North American breweries and bottles from Shiga Kogen Beer.
Hop BroThe Kobe Sannomiya beer pub Onajiananomujina went pretty hard with its March 31 tap update. Leading the lineup is Oni Densetsu's "Kinki Pale Ale Comet Single Ver.", which immediately cranks up the energy for drinkers.
MugiWhoa! Even the name Kinki Pale Ale sounds intense! And "Comet Single Ver." sounds cosmic and complicated too. What is that?
Hop BroGood question. It means the beer was brewed with only one hop variety, Comet, so you can really see how the aroma and bitterness come through. By stripping away extra elements, the brewery's design shows itself more clearly, which is part of what makes it interesting.
MugiI see! But if there are seven taps, I want to know about the rest too. What does it mean that hazy and clear beers are alternating? Is that about appearance?
Hop BroYes, it's about both appearance and flavor. For example, the lineup includes BreakEdge's "dog", Ise Kadoya Brewery's "Another Cut", novoru's "Haziku", Minoh Beer’s "Blooming IPA", root+branch's Chomei IPA, and Du Bas's "RIEN DE MOINS", so you can move back and forth between hazy-style beers and clear, sharply defined ones.
MugiWow, that sounds like so much fun to compare! Minoh Beer’s Blooming IPA sounds springlike and cute too, and just hearing IPA makes me excited because I expect it to be a little bitter!
Hop BroThat excitement is spot on. IPA is all about hop aroma and bitterness, and beers like Blooming IPA often bring out fruity, floral qualities. With differences in intensity lined up like this, each glass feels different and never gets boring.
MugiWait, there are cans and bottles too? When you say the North American cans are well stocked, does that mean there are really that many?
Hop BroThey're very well stocked. Mortalis, Trillium, Fidens, ghost town, ONE DROP, and root+branch are all there, and with beers like `DDH Congress Street`, `A Murder Of Crows`, `Jasper With Pineapple`, `Do You Know Better`, and `Sardonic`, you can enjoy everything from IPA to sour styles.
MugiI get it. And with three barrel-aged Yamabushi collaboration bottles from Shiga Kogen Beer too, it suddenly feels like a tasting session. Barrel aging sounds like it would have such a grown-up aroma!
Hop BroExactly. Barrel aging brings out barrel-derived aromas, acidity, and a calm complexity, which contrasts nicely with the flashier canned beers. Hours are 18:00 to 22:45, and there are snacks like masala cashews and 2Bro pizza, plus you can bring your own food. Today is the kind of day that makes you want a drink in Kobe's Sannomiya - or maybe two.
MugiYeah, no way I can hold back now! If there's a robust tap lineup and snacks too, I want to head straight to Sannomiya right now!
