The beer pub Awashima Soko in Daizawa, Setagaya Ward, unveiled its tap list for April 10. Nara Brewing’s "CHARM" has been newly tapped, and the bar is operating with five beers on draft, including selections from YOROCCO, FARMENTRY, and karuizawaQ. It’s a good spot for a quiet drink with just a small group.
Hop BroAt the beer pub Awashima Soko in Daizawa, Setagaya Ward, Nara Brewing’s CHARM is newly tapped. It’s a Hazy IPA, and the one that brings aromas like white peach and passion fruit.
MugiWait, that already sounds delicious just from the name! White peach and passion fruit? That sounds super juice-like before you even drink it!
Hop BroThat’s the good part. The balance of sweetness and bitterness is clean, and it’s presented as a juicy IPA.
MugiSo if it’s juicy, does that mean it has fruit juice in it? Huh, what even is a Hazy IPA?
Hop BroIt doesn’t contain juice. It’s a style where hop-driven aroma and haze come forward. If you think of it as an aroma-focused IPA, it’s easy to understand.
MugiOhhh! And this day’s tap list has five beers on it. Tasting them side by side in one place sounds so fun!
Hop BroExactly. YOROCCO’s Spring Thunder is a Hoppy Saison, FARMENTRY’s is a New Zealand Pilsner, and karuizawaQ’s is an Oatmeal Stout, so the range of flavors is pretty wide.
MugiSaison, pilsner, stout all lined up like that makes it feel like a beer exam venue! The kind of setup where you can’t decide where to start!
Hop BroBut Awashima Soko is the kind of place that suits quiet enjoyment with a small group. Since the interior is compact, it’s best used as a calm place to drink.
MugiI like that. It’s perfect for when you want to really savor a rotating draft pour instead of dealing with noise. There’s a real slow-drinking appeal to it.
Hop BroWeekday hours start at 6 p.m., and Saturdays and Sundays and holidays start at 3 p.m., so you can drop by after work or on the weekend. This definitely belongs on the list of candidate beers for tonight.
MugiYeah, my head is already full of beer! Whether to start with CHARM or go in with a tasting lineup, just thinking about it is exciting!
