Awashima Soko Reveals April 18 Tap List: 5 Kegs Including YOROCCO and Nara Brewing
The beer pub Awashima Soko in Daizawa, Setagaya Ward, Tokyo, has released its tap list for April 18. Five labels from YOROCCO, FARMENTRY, Mugi Zakkoku Kobo, and Nara Brewing are on tap, and with Saturday opening at 3:00 p.m., it is a lineup you can enjoy from early in the day.
Hop BroToday's star is the tap list at Awashima Soko in Daizawa, Setagaya Ward. On April 18, the lineup includes YOROCCO and even Nara Brewing, which makes it pretty tempting.
MugiWait, only five kegs and it's that luxurious!? That's the kind of list where you can't decide what to order!
Hop BroAnd on Saturdays they open at 3:00 p.m., so you can take it easy before evening. With food last order at 10:00 p.m. and drinks last order at 10:30 p.m., it's a setup you can enjoy for a long stretch.
MugiNice! And myoga in the pickles too? Even the snacks feel so spring-like, that's unfair. I can already tell the drinks will keep going down easily!
Hop BroThe first anchor in the lineup is YOROCCO's Shunrai Hoppy Saison. It takes the lightness of a saison and layers on hop aroma, so it's a strong choice for your first glass.
MugiWhat's a saison, anyway? Lightness plus hops sounds kind of like a music festival, which makes me curious!
Hop BroOriginally, saison is a farmhouse-style beer that drinks crisp but still carries yeast-derived aroma. When you emphasize the hops on top of that, the way the aroma rises becomes much more vivid.
MugiI see! So FARMENTRY's New Zealand Pilsner is the crisp, refreshing one, right?
Hop BroExactly, and what's interesting is that they also have Mugi Zakkoku Kobo's Irodori Saison Dark Citrus. Just from the name Dark Citrus, it gives off this slightly mysterious fruity vibe that makes you want to try it, doesn't it?
MugiWow, it sounds delicious just from the name! And with YOROCCO's Cultivator plus Nara Brewing's CHARM, they've even got a hoppy Belgian pale ale and a hazy IPA. That's almost unfair!
Hop BroThis lineup has a really solid range of drinkability, from light and airy to rich and dense. It's the kind of place where even the time spent staring at today's kegs and deciding on your first glass tastes good.
MugiI can't take it anymore, just reading this made me thirsty! If you're shown a tap list like this from 3 p.m. on a spring Saturday, you just have to go and drink, right!
On April 18, Awashima Soko shared the tap list for the day. The post noted Saturday business hours of 15:00-23:00, with food last order at 22:00 and drinks last order at 22:30, making it a place where you can start drinking at a relaxed pace before evening. It also mentioned that "myoga has appeared in the pickles" and that there are "a few beers that may be running low?" conveying the warm, lived-in feel of the bar, including the speed at which snacks and casks move.
The day's taps featured the following five beers:
- YOROCCO / Shunrai (Hoppy Saison)
- FARMENTRY / New Zealand Pilsner (Pilsner)
- Mugi Zakkoku Kobo / Irodori Saison Dark Citrus (Dark Saison)
- YOROCCO / Cultivator (Hoppy Belgian Pale Ale)
- Nara Brewing / CHARM (Hazy IPA)
With two saisons, one pilsner, plus a hoppy Belgian pale ale and a hazy IPA, the lineup is designed to offer both brightness and drinkability. From crisp lager-like styles to beers with more pronounced aroma and hop character, it is the kind of list that makes even choosing your first glass feel like a pleasant dilemma.
Awashima Soko is a beer pub located at 4-34-12 Daizawa, Setagaya Ward, Tokyo. It is known as a cozy space along Awashima-dori where you can calmly enjoy rotating craft beers on tap. Rather than a place for large, boisterous groups, it is better suited to savoring each glass while checking out the day's kegs across the counter. This post, too, was the kind that lets you vividly imagine what to drink on a spring Saturday.
