Awashima Soko posts a five-beer tap list for June 30
The Setagaya beer pub Awashima Soko shared its June 30 tap lineup on Instagram. The list spans lager, saison, Belgian porter, hazy IPA, and American IPA, alongside the day's opening hours and house notes.
Hop BroThe June 30 tap list at Awashima Soko is seriously well built. It starts with Tsugaru Brewing’s Arigato! Lager and runs through to open air, with five taps that make a clean drinking arc.
MugiWhat! Arigato! Lager sounds like the beer is thanking me before I even order. And five taps... is that kind to my after-work brain or dangerously not?
Hop BroThat’s the smart part. The style range is wide: lager, saison, Belgian porter, Hazy IPA, and American IPA, so it covers everything from crisp and easy to full-on aroma attack.
MugiWait, what is Saison w/Oak Chip supposed to mean? That suddenly sounds like a science lab. Are they tossing wood chips into the beer like snacks?
Hop BroNot as chaotic as it sounds. Barrel-like nuance is the idea, using oak character to add a soft woody note, and karuizawaQ’s Another Afternoon sounds like it leans into that nicely.
MugiOoh! Then what’s Blackbird Shipping doing in the lineup? The name already sounds like a mysterious nighttime delivery.
Hop BroThat one’s a Belgian porter, so expect roasty bittersweet depth. Then open air’s hopful mind is a Hazy IPA, where the soft body and hop aroma take center stage.
MugiAnd there’s also karuizawaQ’s Shako, so this is basically a comparison-drinking trap! I’d walk in planning one glass and leave with a full internal committee meeting.
Hop BroExactly. It’s built for first pint to flight mode. Start crisp with the lager, then drift toward oak, roast, or hop aroma depending on your mood.
MugiAnd Awashima Soko is in Daizawa, Setagaya, right? Weekdays are 6 p.m. to midnight, and they may turn away groups of four or more, which is such a polite way of saying 'drink quietly.'
Hop BroSince the place is small, that note is fair. As an after-work beer stop, it’s a strong setup, and I’d absolutely reset my palate with Arigato! Lager before chasing oak and hops.
MugiI’m sold. My first glass tonight would be that lager, and I’d finish with hopful mind or Shako wrapped in aroma. Reading this already made me want a pint.
Awashima Soko, a beer pub in Daizawa, Setagaya-ku, Tokyo, posted its June 30 tap list on Instagram.
The lineup includes five beers:
- Tsurugar Brewery "Arigatou! Lager" (Lager)
- karuizawaQ "Another Afternoon" (Saison w/Oak Chip)
- YOROCCO "Blackbird Shipping" (Belgian Porter)
- open air "hopful mind" (Hazy IPA)
- karuizawaQ "Shakko" (American IPA)
The selection covers a broad range of styles, from a clean lager and a wood-influenced saison to a Belgian porter and hop-forward IPA variants. That makes the board easy to approach for a first pint while still offering enough variety for a proper tasting session.
The post also lists the shop's hours. Weekdays run from 18:00 to 24:00, Saturdays from 15:00 to 23:00, and Sundays and holidays from 15:00 to 22:00. Food is served until 23:00 and drinks until 23:30. Because the room is compact, the shop asks guests to visit in smaller groups, and parties of four or more may be refused.
Awashima Soko also mentioned a change to its late-June closing days and noted that a July schedule was coming. For beer drinkers looking for a tap-driven neighborhood stop in Setagaya, this is a solid update to keep in mind.
