Big news from Chigasaki: HOP MAN just tapped Onishibori Lager Shunrei Ver., and this one is seriously tempting.

What! A Isekado x Oni Densetsu collab on draft? That name already sounds like it could bench-press me!
Hop Bro
And the style is West Coast Pilsner. Think pilsner snap with IPA-level hop aroma layered on top.
Mugi
Hold on, that style name is making my brain argue with itself. Is it a pilsner or is it an IPA?
Hop Bro
Simple version: it's a clean, crisp lager that smells way flashier than you'd expect. They also brewed it with first wort, which is a luxury move.
Mugi
Wait, what is first wort? Is that like the VIP section of beer?
Hop Bro
Pretty much. It's the richer early-run wort from the mash, so the malt comes through cleanly. Then Krush and Strata stack on berry and tropical notes.
Mugi
Okay, fancy! And with Nelson Sauvin plus Citra, that means a white-wine-like finish could sneak in too, right?
Hop Bro
Exactly. Using them at low temperature keeps the aroma polished instead of messy, and the citrus carries through nicely. The whole trick is crispness and aroma living together.
Mugi
So it drinks light, but the nose shows up like a festival? A high-information lager sounds extremely my thing.
Hop Bro
That also fits HOP MAN perfectly. It's the kind of beer pub where rotating guest taps make total sense, and now I want a pint immediately.
Mugi
Same. If I can get that aroma and that snap in a relaxed Chigasaki pub, I'm heading to HOP MAN.
HOP MAN, a beer pub in the Tenkuma area of Chigasaki, has tapped ISEKADO x Oni Densetsu’s "Onishibori Lager Shunrei Ver." The Instagram post presents it as a long-running collaboration between the two breweries and says this release was designed as a luxurious West Coast Pilsner brewed with first-wort only.
The beer is described as combining the clean finish of a pilsner with the expressive aroma of an IPA. Krush and Strata form the core of the hop profile, bringing berry-like and tropical fruit notes, while Nelson Sauvin and Citra are gently layered in at low temperature for a bright, white-wine-and-citrus-like finish. The result is meant to be crisp, aromatic, and easy to keep drinking.
HOP MAN is known as a Chigasaki beer pub where rotating draft beers are part of the appeal. A collaboration release like this fits the house style well: approachable, but with enough hop character to keep beer fans interested. It is the kind of tap that invites a straightforward first pint and, likely, a second look at the glass before long.
