Awashima Soko updated its taps on June 9 with a five-beer lineup. The list runs from a lager by Tsurugaru Brewing to two beers from karuizawaQ, plus a hazy IPA from Brasserie Kont and an IPA from Passific. It is a clear, well-spread selection that makes it easy to choose based on the style you want that day.

Today's taps


- Tsurugaru Brewing / Arigatou! Lager (Lager)
- karuizawaQ / Kizashi (NZ Dry Hopped Saison)
- karuizawaQ / Michi Sugara (Irish Red)
- Brasserie Kont / JIRI (Hazy IPA)
- Passific / Passific IPA (IPA)

Located in Daizawa, Setagaya, Awashima Soko is a beer pub with a compact, low-key feel. The post lists its hours as 6:00 p.m. to midnight on weekdays, 3:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. on Saturdays, and 3:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. on Sundays and holidays. Food and drink last orders are also noted, which makes it a practical stop for both after-work pints and earlier evening visits.

The post also notes June closing days on the 3rd, 13th, 17th and 28th. Group size is kept small, and parties of four or more may be turned away. That gives the place a quiet, focused atmosphere where the tap list and the beer itself take center stage.

A lager to start, then a New Zealand dry-hopped saison, an Irish red, and two hop-forward styles to finish: this is the kind of lineup that invites straightforward style-by-style drinking without overcomplicating the evening.
