Awashima Soko taps YOROCCO’s SkyWalker IPA and posts a five-beer lineup
Awashima Soko, a beer pub in Setagaya’s Daizawa area, posted on June 12 that it had tapped YOROCCO’s SkyWalker IPA. The post also listed a five-beer lineup spanning lager, saison, Irish red, hazy IPA, and American IPA.
Hop BroTonight’s topic is Awashima Soko’s new tap. That beer pub in Daizawa, Setagaya just put YOROCCO’s SkyWalker IPA on draft.
MugiWhat! SkyWalker IPA already sounds intense. What kind of beer is it?
Hop BroIt’s a YOROCCO American IPA, and the key is hoppy yet smooth. Big hop aroma, but it still sounds easy to keep drinking.
MugiWait, smooth body means what exactly? Why does that make the beer sound like a luxury couch?
Hop BroIt basically means soft on the palate. Not just bitter and loud, but rounded and easy as it moves across your tongue.
MugiOhh, got it! So with this five-tap refresh, what else is on besides that?
Hop BroThey’ve got Tsugaru Jozo’s Arigatou! Lager, karuizawaQ’s Kizashi as an NZ Dry Hopped Saison, Michisugara as an Irish Red, and Brasserie Kont’s JIRI as a Hazy IPA, so the style range is wide.
MugiSeriously, NZ Dry Hopped Saison sounds like you just cast a beer spell at me!
Hop BroIn plain terms, it’s a saison with late-hop aroma pop. You can expect fruity, white-grape-like notes and some herbal character from New Zealand hops.
MugiThat actually sounds amazing. From lager to hazy IPA, this is basically a tasting flight paradise, and the quiet pub vibe fits it.
Hop BroExactly. They ask groups to keep it to four people, so it feels like a place for focused sipping. They also posted a June 13 closure notice, so checking the schedule first is smart.
MugiThen it’s settled. We walk in with indoor voices and start with a SkyWalker toast.
In a June 12 post, Awashima Soko in Setagaya, Tokyo updated its tap list and introduced a new keg from YOROCCO: SkyWalker IPA. The brewery describes it as an American IPA with hop flavor and a smooth body that stays easy to drink.
The day’s lineup covered five beers in total, offering a broad range of styles from a clean lager to a hop-forward hazy IPA.
- Tsugaru Brewing / Arigato! Lager (Lager)
- karuizawaQ / Kizashi (NZ Dry Hopped Saison)
- karuizawaQ / Michisagara (Irish Red)
- Brasserie Kont / JIRI (Hazy IPA)
- YOROCCO / SkyWalker IPA (American IPA)
The shop’s post also gives a sense of the place itself: a compact beer pub where groups are asked to keep to four people or fewer, and where a quieter, more relaxed pace is encouraged. That makes it a fitting stop for drinkers who want to work through a tap list carefully rather than rush through a crowded room.
The post notes that the shop will be closed on June 13. Regular hours are 6:00 pm to midnight on weekdays, 3:00 pm to 11:00 pm on Saturdays, and 3:00 pm to 10:00 pm on Sundays and holidays.
