Awashima Soko posts June 28 tap list featuring five beers
Awashima Soko, a beer pub in Daizawa, Setagaya, shared its June 28 opening notice on Instagram. The tap list spans five beers from Tsugaru Brewing, karuizawaQ, YOROCCO, and open air, covering lager, saison, porter, and two IPA styles.
Hop BroThere’s a lineup in Setagaya I had to bring up. Awashima Soko on June 28 is pouring five taps, including Tsugaru Jozo and YOROCCO.
MugiWait, five beers on tap already sounds exciting, but if it runs from lager to IPA, how do I even choose without freezing up?
Hop BroYou start clean with Tsugaru Jozo’s Arigatou! Lager. It’s crisp and easy, perfect for the first glass.
MugiHold on, karuizawaQ has a saison with oak chips? What is that, a forest you can drink?
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. Oak chips add woody, barrel-like aroma and a little depth, so think of it as a touch of woodiness.
MugiOhhh, that suddenly sounds fancy. Then if I move to YOROCCO’s Blackbird Shipping, what happens next?
Hop BroIt’s a Belgian porter, so you get roast and a more layered aroma. The lineup has a smart flow from light to rich.
MugiWhat is this, a tasting course? But open air’s hopful mind is a Hazy IPA, and YOROCCO’s SkyWalker IPA is an American IPA, right?
Hop BroExactly. Hazy IPA is usually juicier and softer, while American IPA tends to be sharper and brighter. So you can compare two IPA directions in one stop.
MugiOkay, so you can build a whole drinking order from easygoing to aroma-heavy. And with 3 p.m. to 10 p.m. hours, it’s easy to plan.
Hop BroYep, and they note they may turn away groups of four or more, which fits the place. It really sounds made for small-group sipping in a quiet neighborhood.
MugiI’m sold. Starting with lager and finishing on IPA at Awashima Soko tonight already sounds dangerously good.
Hop BroThat’s the beauty of it. Whether you’re a lager person or an IPA person, this lineup makes me feel ready to raise a glass right now.
Awashima Soko, located at 4-34-12 Daizawa, Setagaya-ku, Tokyo, posted its June 28 Sunday service notice on Instagram. On Sundays, the bar opens from 3:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., with food served until 9:00 p.m. and drinks until 9:30 p.m. The post also notes that parties of four or more may be refused, which suggests a compact beer-pub setup that works best for small groups.
The day's tap lineup includes five beers, giving guests a broad style range to choose from: lager, saison, Belgian porter, hazy IPA, and American IPA. The sequence also works as a tasting route, from a crisp first pour to hop-forward beers later in the session.
- Tsugaru Brewing / Arigatou! Lager
- karuizawaQ / Another Afternoon (Saison w/Oak Chip)
- YOROCCO / Blackbird Shipping (Belgian Porter)
- open air / hopful mind (Hazy IPA)
- YOROCCO / SkyWalker IPA (American IPA)
That mix makes the bar easy to approach in different ways: start with the crisp lager, move into the oak-chip saison or the porter, or head straight to the hop-forward IPAs. In a residential corner of Daizawa, Awashima Soko presents itself as a place to focus on the beer list rather than on spectacle.
