At the beer pub "HOP MAN" in Jukkenzaka, Chigasaki City, Kanagawa, Miyazaki Hideji Beer stout has been newly tapped as a guest beer.

In the post, this stout is introduced as a fragrant, full-bodied beer with layers of "the pleasant bitterness of roasted barley" and "an aroma like espresso coffee." It uses special malt generously, yet goes down smoothly. This limited-brew dark beer leaves behind nutty aromas and herbal flavors in the finish.

HOP MAN is a beer pub in the Chigasaki Station area where you can stop in casually. One of its attractions is being able to follow the rotating guest beers and choose a glass based on your mood that day. This stout is suited not only to people who want to enjoy the roasted character typical of dark beer, but also to those who want to take their time savoring its layered aroma.

The post also listed the following as good pairings:

- Meat dishes such as roast beef, beef stew, and sukiyaki
- Raw oysters, surf clams, shrimp, and octopus carpaccio
- Pumpkin salad
- Chocolate, caramel, and apple pie with cinnamon

If you are pairing it with a meal, it would be good to start with meat dishes to catch the roasted nuances, then finish with dessert to check the malt sweetness and toastiness. In the calm atmosphere of HOP MAN, this is the kind of beer that lets you slowly enjoy the depth of dark beer.
