Ise Kadoya Beer's "Mr.DANK" Newly Tapped at HOP MAN in Chigasaki
The beer pub HOP MAN in Jōmanka, Chigasaki City, Kanagawa, has tapped Ise Kadoya Beer’s "Mr.DANK". It is being introduced as an easy-drinking beer built around the sharp edge typical of a DDH West Coast IPA, layered with aromas from Strata, Citra, and Mosaic.
Hop BroThere's a new tap at HOP MAN in Chigasaki. Hearing that Ise Kadoya Beer brought in Mr.DANK always makes me think of that first after-work pint.
MugiWhoa! Just the name Mr.DANK sounds intense! "Dank" kind of makes me think of something you'd drink after a workout!
Hop BroThat's the interesting part. The style is a DDH West Coast IPA. It doesn't just hit you with hops; it sharpens the outline so it's easier to keep drinking.
MugiWhat's DDH? It sounds kind of scary, like "double the bitterness" or something!
Hop BroPut simply, it's a method that uses more hops. This one centers on Strata, Citra, and Mosaic, building layers of aroma while keeping it from becoming too heavy.
MugiOhhh! Strata, Citra, and Mosaic already sound like a fruit party! It must smell so good, with berries and citrus and everything!
Hop BroExactly. And instead of adding Incognito directly to the fermentation tank like before, they used it in the whirlpool this time. They're aiming for better aromatic lift and a cleaner finish.
MugiWhirlpool sounds like a science experiment all of a sudden! But hearing that, I can kind of see how it improves the aromatic lift!
Hop BroIt also looks light gold and clear, with a dry sip and a crisp finish. Even at 7.0%, it's the kind of beer that goes down much more easily than its name suggests.
MugiWow, that's sneaky! If someone tells me it's designed to be easy to keep drinking, I'd probably end up ordering another one before I even notice!
Hop BroThen tonight, let's try this Mr.DANK in Chigasaki and really take our time with that clean finish.
MugiAgreed! I'm already in full drinking mode, so let's have a pint tonight!
At HOP MAN, a beer pub in Jōmanka, Chigasaki City, Kanagawa, Ise Kadoya Beer’s Mr.DANK has been newly tapped. This beer is presented not as one that pushes hop intensity to the front, but as a DDH West Coast IPA that achieves easy drinkability through balance.
Beer on Tap
- Brewery: Ise Kadoya Beer
- Beer Name: Mr.DANK
- Style: DDH West Coast IPA
- ABV: 7.0%

The hop bill centers on Strata, Citra, and Mosaic. Tropical notes and a subtle diesel-like character from Strata are layered with the berry notes and bright citrus of Citra and Mosaic, aiming for a profile with plenty of depth that never becomes too heavy. In addition, Incognito, which had previously been added directly to the fermentation tank, has been reassigned to use in the whirlpool, and water treatment adjustments have also been made to improve aromatic lift and a cleaner finish.
Visually, it pours a light gold and clear. The aroma is distinctly dank, yet the sip is dry and finishes crisp, making it the kind of beer that goes down more easily than its name might suggest. At a beer pub like HOP MAN, this is the kind of tap release you want when you want to take your time and appreciate the character of a guest beer.
