Hop BroAt Onaji Anano Mujina in Sannomiya, Kobe, Oni Densetsu’s "Kinki" is being served in a special CGX-brewed version.
MugiWhoa! Just the name "CGX-brewed" sounds intense. What is it?
Hop BroCGX is a material that concentrates hop-derived lupulin. This one is all about aromas of peach, grass, and hops.
MugiHuh! When I hear "peach-like aroma," it sounds sweet, almost like juice. Is it not?
Hop BroThat’s the interesting part: the palate is surprisingly dry. Even if the aroma is bright, it finishes clean and sharp when you drink it.
MugiWhat is that! "Peach but bitter" sounds like a bunch of flavors are having a meeting and completely stalling my brain!
Hop BroIt starts with Kinki’s signature sharp bitterness, then ends with a crisp bitter finish. There’s also a grassy note on the nose and a toasty character on the palate, so the aftertaste is fun too.
MugiWow, making the aftertaste fun too? That’s unfair! And Onaji Anano Mujina is the kind of place that serves fresh beer on tap, right?
Hop BroExactly. It’s a hideaway-style taproom where labels from Japan and abroad gather, and names like Y.Market Brewing and Oni Densetsu are on the list, so beer fans are naturally drawn in.
MugiThis is definitely a night when you’d want to go all in from the very first pint! I’d probably end up talking way too much after drinking the CGX version of Kinki!
Hop BroYeah, it’s a must-try for hop lovers, and it’s perfect for taking your time over in Sannomiya. It’s the kind of beer that makes you want to raise a glass right away.
MugiAlright, then next is a toast to peach and bitterness! The moment I heard this, I already wanted a drink!

It was also reported that a grassy note on the nose and a toasty character that lingers in the mouth remain as the aftertaste.
This is a beer that builds on Kinki’s signature sharp bitterness while layering in the concentrated character unique to CGX. It is especially appealing for people who want to fully enjoy hop aroma. For a night in Sannomiya when you want to take your time savoring your first pint, this is the kind of guest beer worth checking out.
