Awashima Soko posts June 4 tap list with Nara Brewing KIP and four others
Awashima Soko, a beer pub in Daizawa, Setagaya, shared its tap list for June 4. The lineup features five beers from Nara Brewing, YOROCCO, karuizawaQ, Brasserie Kont, and Passific, covering a wide range of styles.
Hop BroThis June 4 list at Awashima Soko is really well built. Five taps led by Nara Brewing's KIP is exactly the kind of lineup that makes a weekday beer stop easy.
MugiWait, just five taps and it still sounds exciting? That actually feels way less intimidating than a giant board of chaos!
Hop BroThe opening stretch is strong with KIP the Hoppy Pilsner from Nara Brewing and YOROCCO's Swallow's Humming, which is a Golden Ale. Easy, bright, clean start.
MugiHold on, Hoppy Pilsner sounds like beer jargon doing push-ups. Is it a pilsner, or is it secretly trying to be an IPA?
Hop BroBasically it's crisp with extra aroma. You keep that clean lager snap, but the hops bring a more vivid floral and herbal lift on top.
MugiOkay, that sounds like a perfect first pour. But Michisugara by karuizawaQ already sounds like the emotional sunset scene of the lineup.
Hop BroHonestly, yes. It's an Irish Red with a malty red-ale profile, so think toasted bread, soft caramel, and a calmer kind of richness.
MugiNope, pause. What does malty even mean? Beer vocabulary always enters the room wearing a scarf for no reason.
Hop BroIt means the grain flavor stands out. Breadier, toastier, a little comforting. Then the back half ramps up with Brasserie Kont's JIRI as a Hazy IPA and Passific IPA.
MugiWow, so the finish is stacked too? Light start, richer middle, then a hop-powered finale. That is dangerously organized.
Hop BroAnd the best part is the small-group pub vibe. Awashima Soko is known for a calmer atmosphere, open from 6:00 p.m. to midnight on weekdays, which suits a slow night with hotaru-ika.
MugiYou had me at hotaru-ika and IPA. Now I want to start with KIP, work my way through the whole list, and absolutely not waste this lineup.
Awashima Soko, a beer pub in Daizawa 4-chome, Setagaya, Tokyo, posted its tap list for June 4 along with the day’s service information. The selection brings together five beers that make for an easy, well-balanced night of drinking.
Beers on tap
- Nara Brewing / KIP (Hoppy Pilsner)
- YOROCCO / Swallow's Humming (Golden Ale)
- karuizawaQ / 道すがら (Irish Red)
- Brasserie Kont / JIRI (Hazy IPA)
- Passific / Passific IPA (IPA)
The lineup spans a broad range of styles, from a hop-forward pilsner and a golden ale to an Irish red, a hazy IPA, and a classic IPA. That means the pub offers both lighter, more approachable pours and fuller, hop-driven options in the same sitting.
