Awashima Soko serves five beers including karuizawaQ and YOROCCO on the 4/3 taps
Awashima Soko, a beer pub in Daizawa, Setagaya Ward, has published its tap list for April 3. The lineup includes five beers from karuizawaQ, YOROCCO, and Nara Brewing, offering something to enjoy alongside quesadillas and chicken beer fritters.
Hop BroThe 4/3 tap lineup at Awashima Soko in Daizawa, Setagaya Ward, is really solid. Having karuizawaQ, YOROCCO, and even Nara Brewing all on one list is great because you can enjoy everything from sweet-tart beers to dark beers and IPAs at once.
MugiWhoa! Isn't that an unusually wide range? With five beers, each one has such a different personality that I don't even know where to start!
Hop BroIf you're starting with the first pour, go for karuizawaQ's Ruby and its berry character. Since it's a Fruit Ale made with Raspberry & Blueberry, the aroma opens up right away and the sweet-tartness comes through clearly.
MugiOhhh, a berry beer sounds cute! If the sweet-tart flavor is the star, it should be easy to get into even for people who usually don't like beer!
Hop BroExactly. And on the opposite end is YOROCCO's Liberation Pils. It has the crispness of a German Pils, making it the one for people who want the clean, refreshing character of a lager.
MugiI hear people say 'crispness' all the time, but what does that mean? Does 'lager-like crispness' mean it goes down sharply and cleanly?
Hop BroThat's exactly it. It has little roughness, and the finish cuts off cleanly. Then when you get to karuizawaQ's Under the Light, with the weight of an Oatmeal Stout, the malt richness and roasted character suddenly bring things back into a calm place.
MugiI might like a dark beer with a gentle roasted character! If it has coffee-like aromas, I bet the snacks would disappear fast too.
Hop BroThat is where Nara Brewing's HOMEWARD BOUND fits in so well, adding the lightness of an Extra Pale Ale. You can taste the hops without it feeling too heavy, so it works nicely with food.
MugiWow, just thinking about it is making me hungry! And if there are quesadillas and chicken beer fritters, wouldn't that be the perfect spicy companion?
Hop BroExactly. Awashima Soko on 4/3 is perfect for a slow, small-group drinking session, and finishing with Far Shore, the New Zealand IPA, leaves you with citrus and tropical notes to close things out cleanly.
MugiOkay, I was planning to choose between a lager and a fruit beer, but now I want to drink everything! Hey, Hop bro, let's go in saying we're only having one drink first!
