Hop BroToday I'm introducing Awashima Soko's 4/16 notice, the beer pub in Daizawa, Setagaya Ward. Weekdays are 18:00-24:00, Saturdays 15:00-23:00, and Sundays/holidays 15:00-22:00, with a layout for small groups. If you're coming with four or more people, it's safer to contact them in advance.
MugiWhoa, they even post the business hours!? If small-group use is the default, it sounds like a nice place to drink in a relaxed setting!

MugiI hear saison a lot, but when you suddenly say Hoppy Saison, it gets hard! What makes it hoppy?
Hop BroSimply put, it means a saison with a stronger hop aroma. YOROCCO's 'Spring Thunder' adds bright aroma to that light, lively feel, so it's the kind of beer that goes down easily but leaves a strong impression.
MugiOhhh! So FARMENTRY's New Zealand Pilsner is different from a usual pilsner?
Hop BroExactly. Because the character of New Zealand hops comes through, the crisp bitterness and aroma feel great. It's like the clean finish of a pilsner with a soft burst of Southern Hemisphere fruitiness.
MugiThat sounds like something I want to compare side by side! Mugi Zakkokukobo's dark-citrus saison sounds interesting from the name alone, but is it dark? Is it citrus?
Hop BroThat's the interesting part: it's dark in color but light on the palate. Rather than roastiness, it's more about the citrus nuance and the dry saison character, so there's a nice gap between how it looks and how it drinks.
MugiYOROCCO's 'Cultivator,' and Nara Brewing's CHARM is a hazy IPA... today is a taste journey! And if firefly squid is on the menu too, that's definitely going to be good!
Hop BroYeah, it's the kind of thing that goes perfectly with seasonal dishes. Places like Awashima Soko are ideal for slowly comparing a few beers in a relaxed atmosphere, and it's the kind of lineup that makes you want just one more at the end.
MugiI'm already in the mood to go drinking! Tonight I want to hit Awashima Soko and work my way through them in order from saison to hazy IPA!

That day's `-TODAY'S on Tap-` featured five beers with distinct personalities.
- YOROCCO / Spring Thunder (Hoppy Saison)
- FARMENTRY / New Zealand Pilsner (Pilsner)
- Mugi Zakkokukobo / Irodori Saison Dark Citrus (Dark Saison)
- YOROCCO / Cultivator (Hoppy Belgian Pale Ale)
- Nara Brewing / CHARM (Hazy IPA)
From a hoppy saison, a New Zealand-hop pilsner, a dark-citrus saison, a Belgian pale ale, to a hazy IPA, the range of flavors is broad. It looks like a lineup that would be fun to compare side by side and follow the differences in each beer's character.
The post also mentions firefly squid, making it easy to picture enjoying the beers with seasonal dishes. For a day when you want to sip a few drinks slowly in a calm atmosphere, Awashima Soko's tap list seems like a good fit.
