HOP MAN taps Noboribetsu Jibeer Onidensetsu’s Akkiyama Bitter III
HOP MAN, a beer pub in Chigasaki, Kanagawa, has announced a new tap. The featured beer is Noboribetsu Jibeer Onidensetsu’s Akkiyama Bitter III, an English bitter at 4.5% ABV and 20 IBU, described as a malt-forward, easygoing pint.
Hop BroThere’s a fresh guest tap at HOP MAN in Chigasaki, and the headline is Akkiyama Bitter III. It’s coming from Noboribetsu Ji Beer Oni Densetsu, and yeah, the name hits hard.
MugiWait, a demon-named beer? What if it tastes like getting drop-kicked by bitterness? What style is it?
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. It’s an English Bitter at 4.5% ABV with 20 IBU, so it leans soft and malty instead of going full hop hammer.
MugiHold on, IBU 20 sounds like a Wi-Fi password. What does that actually mean?
Hop BroIBU is basically a bitterness yardstick. Around 20 means it should be gentle, more easygoing sip than face-punch bitterness.
MugiOkay, got it. But then what is ADHA-218? That sounds like a robot assigned to protect the keg.
Hop BroThat’s the hop they used, and the key here is balance over swagger. It supports the beer without hijacking the malt or shoving bitterness to the front.
MugiOhhh, so even a newer drinker could settle into that. A mellow sipper sounds like exactly the kind of beer that makes you stay for one more round.
Hop BroAnd HOP MAN being on the second floor of Sunlides Shonan helps too. They were also talking about The World End and Himalaya Table, so the place has serious tap range.
MugiThat’s it, I’m done pretending to be patient. A soft bitter in Shonan makes me want a pint right now. The scary name totally fooled me.
Hop BroSame here. For a slow, relaxed beer moment, quiet bitter time with this one sounds perfect. My palate is already halfway to HOP MAN.
HOP MAN, a beer pub in Jukkenzaka, Chigasaki, has posted a new guest-beer update. The beer now on tap is Akkiyama Bitter III from Noboribetsu Jibeer Onidensetsu. In the post, it is introduced as an English bitter with 4.5% ABV and 20 IBU.
On tap

According to the caption, the beer leans on a soft malt character and is meant to be enjoyed at a relaxed pace. It also mentions ADHA-218 as the main hop, aiming for a balanced finish that does not push the bitterness too far forward. The result sounds like the kind of bitter you sip slowly rather than rush through.
HOP MAN is located on the 2nd floor of Sunraiz Shonan and serves as a convenient stop for drinkers following guest taps around the Shonan area. The post also references a The World End・Himalaya Table collaboration beer, suggesting there is more movement on the taps than a single new pour. For beer fans in Chigasaki, it is a place worth keeping on the radar when looking for a calm, malt-driven pint.
