Hop BroPEPOWN in Chigasaki is hosting a Sun2Diner pop-up on October 14. It is a one-day, serious burger-and-beer pairing event.
MugiWhat?! Burgers and craft beer already sounds like a winning plan!
Hop BroThere are two food stars: chilli cheese quesadilla and the pulled pork burger. The latter stacks mac and cheese, smoky pork, and a hand-grilled 100% beef patty.
MugiWhat even is that? It sounds delicious, but what is pulled pork? Please tell me no pigs are being pulled in a contest.
Hop BroNo contest involved. Pulled pork is slow-cooked shredded pork—the meat falls into tender strands and brings smoky flavor to the burger.
MugiShredded pork, cheese, and a beef patty... that is a three-layer meat tower! With jalapeño too, beer needs to report for duty!
Hop BroStart with Yeedle from local Passific Brewing. This 5.0% pils has a crisp pils finish that clears away rich cheese and burger juices.
MugiPils as in pilsner? It sounds like the palate-reset specialist. Very dependable!
Hop BroExactly. Passific Brewing’s Polka is a 5.5% Oktoberfeest with a rich malty body, made for the charred aroma of the patty.
MugiMalty? The extra-technical Hop Bro has appeared! Does it mean more like grain?
Hop BroThat is basically right. Malty means a fuller malt-driven breadiness, like bread or biscuits, which stands beside a hearty burger beautifully.
MugiThen I need Craftrock Brewing’s 6.0% Alternative IPA too! I want that bright aromatic IPA to hug my burger!
Hop BroFood starts at noon and the event runs until 10 p.m.; you can eat in or take out. A beachside takeaway pairing feels perfectly Chigasaki.
MugiYeedle for crispness, Polka for toastiness, IPA for aroma... I want Chigasaki now! Bring on the burgers and beer!
Sun2Diner comes to PEPOWN
PEPOWN, a brewery in Chigasaki, Kanagawa, will host Sun2Diner’s “POP UP CHEF” on Wednesday, October 14, from 12:00 to 22:00. Food service begins at noon, and takeout will also be available.
The menu features two items. Chilli Cheese Quesadella is Sun2Diner’s take on the Mexican fast-food classic, with cheese, meat, and vegetables pressed inside a tortilla. It is designed to work well as a beer snack.
The second option is the Mac'n' Cheese Pulled Pork Burger, combining a 100% hand-formed beef patty with rich macaroni and cheese, smoky pulled pork, and jalapeño. The result is a substantial burger built around savory meat and cheese flavors.
Three beers for pairing
The beer lineup highlights lager-style selections during PEPOWN’s current lager-focused period. Yeedle, a 5.0% pils from Chigasaki’s Passific Brewing, offers a sharp profile and firm bitterness to refresh the palate after each bite.
Passific Brewing’s Polka, a 5.5% Oktoberfeest, brings a malty body that complements the charred aroma of the burger patty. For IPA fans, Tokyo-based Craftrock Brewing will provide Alternative IPA, a 6.0% American IPA with expressive aroma and a crisp, drinkable character.
Sun2Diner’s owner, Daisuke, trained as a Japanese cuisine chef before joining the burger restaurant FUNGO. He later opened Sun 2 Diner in Nakameguro and now operates primarily through a food truck. At PEPOWN, visitors can enjoy his California-inspired burgers with craft beer, either at the brewery or as takeout for a relaxed meal by the sea.
