PEPOWN in Chigasaki Announces NEWROSE Pop-Up and Three Pairing Beers
PEPOWN in Chigasaki’s Kyoei district has announced a NEWROSE pop-up, “POP UP CHEF!”, for Wednesday, June 24, from 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. The post also lists three beers matched to the curry menu.
Hop BroPEPOWN in Chigasaki has a great one coming up: NEWROSE is doing a pop-up called POP UP CHEF! on June 24 from 18:00 to 22:00. The best part is they already mapped out three beer pairings for it.
MugiWhat! That's ridiculously helpful. It's like they're handing us the answer key for curry and beer right from the start!
Hop BroAnd the food lineup is strong. There's Neo Murgh Makhani, their NEWROSE-style butter chicken curry, plus Modern Lemon Chicken with sea bream dashi and lemon, along with mixed curry, nuts, and edamame. That NEWROSE-style butter chicken already sounds dangerous.
MugiNo way, those names sound so cool they belong on a movie poster. But now I need the beers, because the names are too stylish for me to ignore.
Hop BroFirst up is Spiral from Nara Brewing Co. It's an American Belgo at 6.0%, with hop aroma and a Belgian-ish fermentation character, so it sounds perfect for the spice-forward mixed curry.
MugiHold on, American Belgo sounds like a passport problem. Is it American, Belgian, or just refusing to pick a side?
Hop BroFair question. In simple terms, it blends bright American hop character with Belgian yeast-like aromas, so it comes off lively, a little spicy, and very food-friendly. That's the saison-like nuance doing the work.
MugiOhhh, that makes sense. Then for Modern Lemon Chicken, I bet Shiso Lemon Gose is the one, right? The name alone feels like a cold breeze.
Hop BroExactly. Faló Brewing's Shiso Lemon Gose is 4.0%, and it's a gose with lemon and shiso, so you get tartness plus a gentle salty edge. That acidity and salinity should make the chicken pop.
MugiOkay, my mouth is officially in summer mode now. But then there's Moon from Brasserie Knot, and what is a DIPA doing at 8.0% with a soft name like Moon?
Hop BroDIPA means Double IPA, so expect more hops, more bitterness, and more alcohol presence. Moon sounds like the kind of beer you'd sip slowly with fish sauce-spiced edamame, basically a beer for taking your time.
MugiThat's it, I'm done pretending to be calm. I want to sit down at PEPOWN, order the curry, steal your tasting notes, and compare all three beers. We both agree on wanting a drink right now.
PEPOWN in Chigasaki’s Kyoei district has announced a NEWROSE pop-up event titled POP UP CHEF! The scheduled time is Wednesday, June 24, from 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. The menu centers on Neo Murgh Makhani, NEWROSE’s butter chicken curry, and Modern Lemon Chicken, a chicken keema curry built around fish stock and lemon. The post also mentions a sharing curry, Oriental mixed nuts, and nampa-spice grilled edamame.
What makes the announcement especially useful for beer lovers is that it pairs the food with three specific beers:
- Spiral / Nara Brewing Co. (Nara, Japan)
- American Belgo / 6.0%
- Shiso Lemon Gose / Faló Brewing (Miyagi, Japan)
- Gose with Lemon & Shiso / 4.0%
- Moon / Brasserie Knot (Hokkaido, Japan)
- DIPA / 8.0%
The pairing logic is easy to follow. Spiral brings hop-driven aroma and a saison-like edge that should work well with the spice in the curry. Shiso Lemon Gose adds citrus, shiso, and a salty snap, which fits the brighter, lighter profile of Modern Lemon Chicken. Moon is the most forceful beer of the three, with strong bitterness and higher alcohol, making it a natural fit for richer bites and snackable dishes.
For a brewery-side venue in Chigasaki, the post reads like a clear invitation: come for the curry, stay for the beer pairings, and move through the menu with a few well-chosen styles rather than a generic drink list.
Information may be inaccurate. Please refer to the venue’s official channels for the latest details.
