MugiWait, that already sounds fancy! A yuzu and dill saison? Is this a beer or a chef audition?
Hop BroA beer, and a sharp one. It's a 6.0% Yuzu Saison w/Dill, brewed with local yuzu from nearby Kappo Nichigetsu using both zest and juice.
MugiHold on, what is a saison? Brewers say that so casually, and I instantly feel underdressed for a farm.
Hop BroSimple version: it's a light, dry finish kind of beer. Easy to drink, not too heavy, and really friendly with food.
MugiOhhh, and then they add that dill herb note too? This suddenly sounds like a cooking show in a pint glass.
Hop BroExactly. Instead of pushing sourness, it stays away from cloying sweetness, so the yuzu comes through bright and clean.
MugiThat actually sounds perfect. If it's not a big bitter hit, I could totally make this my first beer of the night.
Hop BroAnd HOP MAN is an easy stop near Chigasaki Station, a second-floor beer pub known for rotating guest taps. By the sea, this kind of saison just feels right.
MugiNow I'm picturing light food and a soft citrus finish hanging around after each sip. That is dangerously convincing.
Hop BroSame here. I want the first sip just to check yuzu and herb balance, then the second sip to confirm I need another.
MugiI am fully convinced. Let's go get one crisp first glass before I start tasting it in my imagination.
New tap
HOP MAN, a beer pub in Tsuzumebashi, Chigasaki, announced a new guest beer on Instagram. The beer now on tap is KaruizawaQ's "Meguri", a 6.0% Yuzu Saison w/Dill.
A notable detail is the use of yuzu shared by nearby Kappo Nichigetsu. According to the post, the brewery hand-zested each peel and pressed the fruit for juice before brewing. That approach suggests a saison built around bright citrus aroma, with dill adding a dry herbal edge rather than pushing the beer toward sweetness.
The profile appears deliberately restrained on acidity, leaning instead on the style's light, easygoing character. The result should be a beer that works well as an opener and pairs naturally with lighter dishes. The citrus note is soft, and the herbal finish gives the beer a clean, lingering shape.
HOP MAN is a second-floor beer pub close to Chigasaki Station, known for rotating guest beers. In a coastal town, a seasonal saison built from local ingredients feels especially fitting. It is the kind of pint that invites you to slow down, notice the balance between yuzu and dill, and enjoy a beer that stays measured rather than loud.
