Awashima Soko's May 24 Draft Lineup Features Nara Brewing, YOROCCO, and Kyoto Brewing
The beer pub Awashima Soko in Daizawa, Setagaya Ward, Tokyo, has released its tap list for Sunday, May 24. A total of five beers from Nara Brewing, YOROCCO, and Kyoto Brewing are on tap, creating a lineup that ranges from a light pilsner to a Hazy IPA and a dry stout.
Hop BroOn Sunday, May 24, the draft lineup at Awashima Soko in Daizawa, Setagaya Ward, is pretty interesting. It spans three breweries - Nara Brewing, YOROCCO, and Kyoto Brewing - with everything from light, easygoing beers to sturdier styles.
MugiWhoa, a lineup of five beers!? With that many, it's the kind of happy problem where you don't know which one to start with!
Hop BroFirst up is Nara Brewing's KIP / Hoppy Pilsner. Even though it's a pilsner, it has a strong hop presence, so you can enjoy both the crispness of a lager and the aroma.
MugiA pilsner that's hoppy? What is that! Light but aromatic sounds kind of magical, doesn't it?
Hop BroSimply put, it's crisp on the palate, but hop-derived aroma comes to the front. That makes it a great first pour, with a really nice balance of aroma and crispness.
MugiAh, I see! Then YOROCCO's Swallow's Humming sounds worth trying too. Even the name feels airy, and it makes me imagine a gentle flavor!
Hop BroThen it makes sense to work in Hometown Stout next. Since it's a Dry Stout, it shouldn't be too sweet, and you should be able to enjoy the roasted notes and coffee-like character smoothly.
MugiI used to think stout meant heavy, but Dry Stout sounds easy to drink! And if you taste them side by side, it might feel like a ride with huge swings in flavor!
Hop BroKyoto Brewing's DrinkMe! / Hazy IPA leans in a juicy, hazy direction. The hop aroma bursts open, and the bitterness is on the softer side, so it's easy to drink even while talking.
MugiIf I finish with Nara Brewing's LOCOMOTION / American IPA, it feels like the hop journey would be complete! But if I drink it, I'll probably end up wanting to say every hop name out loud!
Hop BroService is 15:00-22:00, food L.O. is 21:00, and drinks L.O. is 21:30, so it's nice that you can take your time. An evening spent quietly savoring draft beer really is the best.
MugiThe laid-back atmosphere of drinking in a small group is nice too. Just imagining my first pour is making my throat crave a drink, so now both of us want to go out for a beer!
