Kyoto Brewing's “Drink Me!” is Newly Tapped at Awashima Soko; Nara Brewing and YOROCCO Are Also on Offer
The beer pub “Awashima Soko” in Setagaya, Tokyo updated its tap list on May 20. Kyoto Brewing’s “Drink Me!” was newly tapped, and the lineup features a mix of staple and distinctive beers from Nara Brewing and YOROCCO.
Hop BroToday's tap update at Awashima Soko is hot. As of May 20, Kyoto Brewing's “Drink Me!” has been newly tapped.
MugiWhoa! Drink Me! sounds like it's begging me to drink it already! What kind of beer is it?
Hop BroIt's a Hazy IPA, and its selling points are tropical aromas and dank character. It's hazy in the classic sense, with bold aroma and a softer mouthfeel.
MugiWhat even is dank character? The only dank thing I can think of is the basketball move!
Hop BroIn beer, dank means a nuance like the aroma of wet hops. It's a little green, with piney and grassy notes too, which makes it oddly addictive.
MugiOhhh! So the TODAY'S on Tap lineup is full of distinctive beers?
Hop BroExactly. Nara Brewing's “KIP” is a Hoppy Pilsner that goes down easily, and YOROCCO's “Tobiuo Saison 2026” has the expansive, lively character you'd expect from a Farmhouse Ale.
MugiWait, wait, there's a stout after the saison too? Hometown Stout sounds like that's a pretty wide mood swing!
Hop BroThat's what makes it interesting. YOROCCO's “Hometown Stout” is a Dry Stout with a crisp finish, and Nara Brewing's “LOCOMOTION” is a American IPA with classic hop character, so it's a lineup that's easy to choose from depending on your mood.
MugiAnd it's meant for slow drinking with a small group, which is such a great vibe. If groups of four or more may be turned away, it's perfect for a night when you want to savor things calmly!
Hop BroThe hours also make it easy to use on weekdays from 6 p.m., so now we just have to go find the one beer we want to drink right now.
MugiLet's go! If they have Kyoto Brewing, Nara Brewing, and YOROCCO all together, it's going to make us want to hop from one to the next tonight!
