KaruizawaQ, Nara Brewing, and BREW CLASSIC on Awashima Soko's 4/30 taps
The beer pub Awashima Soko in Daizawa, Setagaya Ward, Tokyo, has released its tap list as of April 30. KaruizawaQ's Kölsch and Session IPA, Nara Brewing's Keller Pils, and BREW CLASSIC's Hazy IPA are featured, along with information about Golden Week opening hours.
Hop BroThe tap update at Awashima Soko in Daizawa, Setagaya Ward, is a pretty fun lineup for April 30. KaruizawaQ, Nara Brewing, and BREW CLASSIC are all there.
MugiWhoa! Having three breweries show up all at once feels kind of festive! But just from the names, I can't decide what to drink.
Hop BroThe lineup is KaruizawaQ's Tomarigi (Kölsch), Nara Brewing's TYPHINA, KaruizawaQ's Kazetōshi, and BREW CLASSIC's Tamayaradius. Starting with the lighter styles makes it easier to build your way through.
MugiWhat's a Kölsch? What kind of style is Kölsch? It sounds like some fancy spell!
Hop BroGood question. It's a clean, top-fermented style with the crispness of a lager. Awashima Soko's Tomarigi is the perfect first beer.
MugiThen what about Nara Brewing's TYPHINA? Is a Keller Pils like a relative of pilsner?
Hop BroThat's a pretty close understanding. Its appeal is a clearly defined drinking profile, and because it's not filtered too heavily, the character of the malt comes through more easily. It's crisp, but with a solid core of flavor.
MugiWow, KaruizawaQ's Kazetōshi is a Session IPA! It sounds light from the name, but does it still have a good hop presence?
Hop BroDefinitely. It's an easy-drinking IPA, so even with lower alcohol you can still enjoy the aroma fully. Then BREW CLASSIC's Tamayaradius, a hazy Hazy IPA, adds a burst of brightness at the end.
MugiWhoa, the style range is huge! Being able to compare everything from light beers to hazy ones at one place is the best!
Hop BroAnd since Awashima Soko is designed for small groups, it's a good place to take your time with each glass. It's open from 6:00 p.m. on weekdays, and from noon on May 3 through 5 for Golden Week, so there's really no excuse not to stop by.
MugiYeah, if I can even do a Golden Week lunch drink, I want to go! I'd like to start with Tomarigi and finish with the Hazy IPA.
Hop BroThat's a good flow. Today, let's compare all four beers and slowly savor the end of spring at Awashima Soko.
