Hop BroAt Awashima Soko in Daizawa, Setagaya Ward, the 5-tap lineup got refreshed, and the May 12 selection is a really satisfying one.
MugiWait, only five beers? That actually makes it harder to choose! I’m curious about the wide-ranging lineup!
Hop BroThis time the lineup is open air’s the believer, YOROCCO’s Tobiuo Saison 2026 and YEXIT, Mugi Zakkoku Kobo’s Ogawa Porter, and BREW CLASSIC’s Wolf Chop, right?
MugiWhat is that! NZ Pilsner and Farmhouse Ale and all these foreign-sounding names are too much for my brain to keep up with! It’s a style traffic jam!
Hop BroFirst, the believer is an NZ Pilsner, so within its light body you can usually get the aromatic character of New Zealand hops.
MugiOhhh! I always think of pilsner as light, but it can be fun aromatically too! It seems like a great first beer and makes me want to drink it right away!
Hop BroFrom there, Tobiuo Saison 2026 is a Farmhouse Ale, and YEXIT is a West Coast IPA, so even among the same tap lineup, each one has a completely different personality, which is what makes it interesting.
MugiWait, are saisons that free-spirited? I get IPA, but what even is this farmhouse vibe?
Hop BroFarmhouse styles tend to show yeast-driven spice and dryness, and in simple terms, their appeal is that rustic, wild aroma.
MugiI see! It also sounds great to settle in with Ogawa Porter and then finish with Wolf Chop! It’s a place where tasting side by side looks like a lot of fun!
Hop BroAnd with weekday hours from 6:00 p.m. to midnight, Saturdays from 3:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m., and Sundays and holidays from 3:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., the quiet, small-group atmosphere is something only a small venue can offer.
MugiNice, it makes me want to go early and follow the tap changes! Today, I’m in the mood to go find the right first pint!
Hop BroThen let’s start with the believer to get settled, and head to Tobiuo Saison 2026 next. I’m in the mood to stand right in front of the casks myself.
Tap List for May 12
The beer pub Awashima Soko in Daizawa, Setagaya Ward, announced its draft lineup for the day in a May 12 post. Five beers were on tap, with the range of flavors neatly divided across NZ Pilsner, Farmhouse Ale, Robust Porter, West Coast IPA, and Wheat IPA.
Beers Announced for the Day
- `the believer` / `open air` / NZ Pilsner
- `Tobiuo Saison 2026` / `YOROCCO` / Farmhouse Ale
- `Ogawa Porter` / `Mugi Zakkoku Kobo` / Robust Porter
- `YEXIT` / `YOROCCO` / West Coast IPA
- `Wolf Chop` / `BREW CLASSIC` / Wheat IPA
Awashima Soko’s post also included the opening hours. Weekdays are 6:00 p.m. to midnight, Saturdays 3:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m., and Sundays and holidays 3:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. It also notes that, because the interior is small, groups of four or more are asked to contact the shop in advance, suggesting a quiet, small-group style of enjoying beer.
Looking at the lineup, the tasting range is clear, from a crisp pilsner to a saison, porter, hop-forward IPA, and a wheat IPA with a soft malt character. Starting with `the believer`, then moving on to `Tobiuo Saison 2026` or `YEXIT`, should make the differences in expression easy to spot even across the same five taps. Adding the porter or wheat IPA in between would let you enjoy how the temperature and mood of the evening develop as well.
Rather than a flashy event, the post simply and neatly conveys the day’s casks, giving craft beer fans immediate, practical information about what they can drink today. In a small venue like Awashima Soko, the tap turnover itself helps define the shop’s atmosphere. If there’s a label you’re curious about, it seems best to stop by earlier in the day and check it out.
Information may be inaccurate. Please refer to the venue’s official channels for the latest details.
