PEPOWN in Chigasaki adds four guest beers from Atsumi Peninsula Brewing
PEPOWN in Tomoe, Chigasaki, Kanagawa has added four guest beers from Atsumi Peninsula Brewing. The lineup spans a smoothie sour, a tropical fruit sour, a New Zealand IPL, and a sour ale built with shiso-like freshness and plum-like acidity.
Hop BroToday’s topic is that PEPOWN in Chigasaki just got four guest beers from Atsumi Peninsula Brewing.
MugiWait, PEPOWN is that bottle shop in Chigasaki, right? Four bottles at once is the kind of lineup that stops you in your tracks!
Hop BroAnd the lineup is stacked. GAGANKO is a Smoothie Sour Ale with blood peach, raspberry, orange, and cardamom layered into a fruit-packed build.
MugiWhat is that! Does smoothie sour mean dessert you can drink? Is this beer trying to become breakfast?
Hop BroNot quite that far, but it’s a style that leans into heavy fruit, soft texture, and tartness. GAGANKO gets this neat defined sweetness from a touch of sea salt.
MugiOhhh! Then MAIDOIDOI, the Tropical Fruits Sour Ale, is basically a tropical fruit festival?
Hop BroExactly. It packs passion fruit, mango, banana, lime, guava, and lychee, so the juicy tartness comes charging right up front.
MugiBut then TOITOI being a New Zealand IPL suddenly feels like a science quiz. What even is IPL? Did beer join a secret agency?
Hop BroNot a secret agency. IPL is a style that blends IPA aroma with lager crispness. TOITOI uses Nelson Sauvin, Riwaka, and Motueka in a best-of-both-worlds build, so you get citrusy aroma and clean finish together.
MugiOkay, now I get it! That makes TOITOI the one I’d pair with dinner, and I can already hear myself pretending I’m an expert after one sip.
Hop BroThen there’s PARIKINO, a collab with a shiso farmer in Tahara. It layers tart plum, shiso, and sea salt into a distinctly Japanese sour, with a finish that hints at plum candy.
MugiWait, shiso too?! I need that. If this lineup has a dessert lane, a food lane, and a Japanese twist lane, I seriously want a tasting flight at PEPOWN right now!
Hop BroPEPOWN also has that monthly Hello! Project deep-dive flow, and this set really shows Atsumi Peninsula Brewing’s range. I just want to raise a glass now.
PEPOWN in Tomoe, Chigasaki, Kanagawa has brought in four guest beers from `Atsumi Peninsula Brewing`. PEPOWN is a bottle shop centered on beer, open 15:00-24:00 on weekdays and 12:00-24:00 on weekends and holidays. Within its monthly "Hello! Project" format, where one brewery is explored in depth at a time, this release adds a lineup with clear range and contrast.
The four beers are:
- `GAGANKO` / Smoothie Sour Ale / 5.0%
A fruit-forward beer built around blood peach, layered with raspberry, orange, and cardamom. Sea salt adds depth to the fruit character, giving it a rounded finish despite the sweetness.
- `MAIDOIDOI` / Tropical Fruits Sour Ale / 4.0%
A tropical sour ale brewed with six fruits. Passion fruit, mango, banana, lime, guava, and lychee combine for a bright aroma and juicy acidity.
- `TOITOI` / New Zealand IPL / 5.0%
A New Zealand-style IPL that aims for the sweet spot between IPA and lager. Nelson Sauvin, Riwaka, and Motueka hops bring citrus and tropical fruit notes, while the lager side keeps the finish crisp.
- `PARIKINO` / Sour Ale / 4.0%
A sour ale made in collaboration with a shiso grower in Tahara, Aichi. The sweet-tart plum character is joined by fresh herbaceous aroma and a sea-salt accent, creating a flavor profile that feels almost like plum candy.
From fruit-dominant sours to a hop-driven IPL, the lineup makes the brewery’s range easy to read in one stop. For food pairings, `TOITOI` looks like the most versatile choice; for something closer to dessert, `GAGANKO` and `MAIDOIDOI` stand out; and for a uniquely Japanese angle, `PARIKINO` is the one to watch. For beer drinkers in Chigasaki, PEPOWN’s shelves are worth keeping an eye on.
