Awashima Soko taps four kegs from Karuizawa Q and YOROCCO on April 5
The beer pub Awashima Soko in Daizawa, Setagaya Ward, published its tap list for April 5. A total of four kegs from Karuizawa Q and YOROCCO are on offer, making for a lineup that includes a fruit ale, German pils, oatmeal stout, and New Zealand IPA.
Hop BroAwashima Soko in Daizawa, Setagaya Ward, has a pretty interesting tap update for April 5. Four beers from Karuizawa Q and YOROCCO are lined up all at once: a fruit ale, German pils, oatmeal stout, and New Zealand IPA. That basically screams comparison tasting.
MugiWhoa! Four kegs, all with totally different personalities!? That's a comparison-tasting paradise. That sounds so fun!
Hop BroThe first one that catches the eye is karuizawaQ's Ruby Fruit Ale. With raspberry and blueberry in the mix, it should drink nicely for spring thanks to the balance of tartness and sweetness.
MugiWow, even the name sounds delicious! It feels like a full-on berry aroma blast. It's like dessert, even though it's beer.
Hop BroWhat makes the lineup even better is YOROCCO's Liberation Pils. German pils is a style that cleans up hop bitterness beautifully and gives you a crisp, well-defined profile.
MugiA clean profile? Are you drawing lines on the beer!? So 'crisp and defined' just means easy to drink, right?
Hop BroExactly. It means the flavor stays sharp instead of getting muddy. And then there's karuizawaQ's Hikari no Shita Oatmeal Stout, which shifts everything into a nighttime mood with roasted malt aroma and the smoothness that comes from oatmeal.
MugiA nighttime mood all of a sudden!? It was a spring berry festival a second ago! Roasted aroma is that coffee-like thing, right?
Hop BroThat's right. And to finish, karuizawaQ's Toasai New Zealand IPA is irresistible for hop fans. Southern Hemisphere hops tend to bring tropical and citrus notes to the front, so the aroma really carries you away.
MugiWow, it sounds like you could do a whole round just from the aroma! And with a shop that's suited to small groups, it seems perfect for quietly taking your time.
Hop BroHours are 6:00 p.m. to midnight on weekdays, 3:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. on Saturdays, and 3:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. on Sundays and holidays. The closed days in April are the 7th, 15th, and 29th, so keep that in mind if you're planning a visit. Those four kegs on April 5 definitely make me want to head there and raise a glass.
MugiYeah, yeah, I can't stop thinking, I want to drink this right now! At Awashima Soko, I'd love to hop between glasses while wondering which one to start with today.

With three kegs from Karuizawa Q and one from YOROCCO, there is also the fun of comparing them side by side.
