Hop BroAwashima Soko has put out its 4/28 tap list. With KaruizawaQ, Nara Brewing, Mugizokkokobo, and BREW CLASSIC all on it, it's a pretty impressive five-keg lineup.
MugiWait, that much excitement from just five kegs? Even the brewery names alone are making my mouth feel crowded with good beer. Where should I start?
Hop BroStart with the first two pours: KaruizawaQ's "Tomarigi" Kölsch and Nara Brewing's "TYPHINA" Keller Pils. The lineup is built to ease you in with light, lager-like styles.
MugiKölsch and Keller Pils sound like spell names to me. So basically, they're crisp and easy to drink, right?
Hop BroExactly. Roughly speaking, both are about crisp, refreshing drinkability. Kölsch is light on its feet, while Keller Pils keeps a bit of that "unfiltered, rustic" character, and that's part of the charm.
MugiOhhh! And then Mugizokkokobo's "Irodori Saison Dark Citrus" comes next, which already sounds delicious. But what exactly is dark citrus?
Hop BroThink of it as saison's lightness layered with citrus-peel-like notes and a slightly deeper aroma. So the point is that you can enjoy the layers of aroma while the body stays easygoing and not too heavy.
MugiI get it! And then it flows into KaruizawaQ's "Kazesugoshi" Session IPA and BREW CLASSIC's "Tamayaradius" Hazy IPA, which feels like a hop staircase. That's fun!
Hop BroExactly. A Session IPA lets you enjoy hop character while staying light, and a Hazy IPA brings that rich, juicy intensity, so it's easy to build your lineup from the first glass to a comparison flight.
MugiAnd Awashima Soko is a beer pub in Daizawa, Setagaya Ward, Tokyo, right? With a calm, easy-to-follow taproom setup, it might be perfect for a day when you want to drink slowly!
Hop BroThe hours are also convenient: weekdays 18:00-24:00, Saturdays 15:00-23:00, and Sundays and holidays 15:00-22:00. They also say groups of four or more may face restrictions, so it's well suited to settling in with a small group.
MugiIt's closed on the 29th, and it's supposed to open during the day from the 3rd to the 5th for Golden Week, right? That's basically the top contender for daytime drinking... just hearing about it is already making my throat remember beer!
Hop BroI know. I'm already picturing the flow from Kölsch to Hazy IPA, and I'm in the mood to have another one.
MugiThen next time, let's actually go and compare all five kegs! Start with the lighter ones, end with the thick, juicy stuff, and it'll definitely be a good time!
Tap lineup for Tuesday, 4/28
Awashima Soko released its latest tap list dated April 28. The lineup consists of five kegs: KaruizawaQ's "Tomarigi" (Kölsch), Nara Brewing's "TYPHINA" (Keller Pils), Mugizokkokobo's "Irodori Saison Dark Citrus" (Dark Saison), KaruizawaQ's "Kazesugoshi" (Session IPA), and BREW CLASSIC's "Tamayaradius" (Hazy IPA).
Looking at the lineup, it starts with a Kölsch and a Keller Pils, then moves on to a saison with dark citrus notes, followed by a Session IPA and a Hazy IPA. The range runs from easy-drinking beers to styles that let you enjoy a strong hop presence, making it easy to build a flight from the first pour onward.
Awashima Soko is a beer pub in Daizawa, Setagaya Ward, Tokyo, and its appeal lies in a space where you can calmly keep track of the taps. Business hours are weekdays 18:00-24:00, Saturdays 15:00-23:00, and Sundays and holidays 15:00-22:00. The shop notes that groups of four or more may have restrictions on seating, making it a good fit for small groups who want to settle in and drink at a relaxed pace.
The post also says the shop will be closed on the 29th, while announcing the May business schedule. During the Golden Week period from the 3rd to the 5th, it plans to open from noon to 22:00. That makes it easy to use not only for an after-work pint, but also as a candidate for daytime drinking over the holidays.
