Awashima Soko 3/15 Tap Update: Five Spring-Feeling Beers Open at Once
The beer pub Awashima Soko in Setagaya's Daizawa has released the tap list for Sunday, March 15. From a saison using citrus to a micro porter and a hazy IPA, the lineup features five beers that aim to deliver both lightness and drinkability. On Sunday, it opens at 3:00 p.m., so you can enjoy it at leisure from an early hour.
Hop BroToday's tap update at Awashima Soko in Daizawa, Setagaya is heating up! Five spring-feeling beers are opening at once, and the spread of styles is a really satisfying lineup.
MugiWhoa, five at once? That's basically a spring beer festival! Are there light ones and rich ones too?
Hop BroAbsolutely. You can start lightly with YOROCCO's Natsu Mikan SAISON and Mugi Zakkoku Kobo's Haru no Ogawa, and the Awashima Soko selection really shows off its taste.
MugiWhat is that! When I hear saison and rice ale, it feels like the vocab test is starting and I get nervous!
Hop BroA saison is a refreshing style whose appeal is the ester aroma and citrus character created by the yeast. A rice ale uses rice to make the mouthfeel lighter, so it goes down smoothly.
MugiI see! So the first two are basically like a spring breeze on the palate. The kind you can start drinking from midday!
Hop BroAfter that, Nara Brewing's LIGHT HOUSE gives you a micro porter, and then Kyoto Brewing's Haru no Kimagure IPA and Nobody's The Triphop Hazy IPA complete the hop comparison course.
MugiFrom micro porter all the way to hazy IPA? Wait, isn't that a roller coaster of range?
Hop BroThat's the best part. You can follow everything from roastiness to hop aroma, but basically the right order is to drink from fragrant to bitter to juicy.
MugiIf it opens at 3:00 p.m. on Sunday, I want to go in while it's still bright out and have a drink right now with Hop-senpai!
Awashima Soko in Daizawa, Setagaya Ward, announced its "TODAY'S on Tap" for Sunday, March 15. The day's lineup consists of five beers in total. It is a well-balanced selection, pairing beers made with seasonal ingredients with interpretations of classic styles.
The first thing that stands out is YOROCCO's Natsu Mikan SAISON (Farmhouse Ale w/Natsu Mikan Citrus). This is a beer with citrus aroma front and center, making it an easy-going choice that suits early spring weather. Mugi Zakkoku Kobo's Haru no Ogawa (Rice Ale) is also on the list, and as its name suggests, it evokes a gentle drinking character.
What makes the day interesting is that it does not stop at lightness. With Nara Brewing's LIGHT HOUSE (Micro Porter), the roasty end of the spectrum is covered, while Kyoto Brewing's Haru no Kimagure (IPA) and Nobody's The Triphop (Hazy IPA) let you compare hop-aroma directions. Saison, rice ale, porter, IPA, and hazy IPA: the range of styles is notably wide.
The shop is open on Sundays and holidays from 3:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. (L.O. Food 9:00 p.m. / Drink 9:30 p.m.). As a beer pub with a relaxed service style, it's a good day for people who want to track the differences in flavor one glass at a time. This tap update makes it easy to start in the daylight, move from light pours to dark beers, and then continue on to the hoppy IPA lineup.
