Awashima Soko highlights four taps from karuizawaQ and YOROCCO
The beer pub Awashima Soko in Daizawa, Setagaya Ward, Tokyo, has released its tap list for April 6. From karuizawaQ and YOROCCO, four beers are on tap: a fruit ale made with raspberries and blueberries, a German pils, an oatmeal stout, and a New Zealand IPA.
Hop BroToday the beer pub in Daizawa, Setagaya Ward, Tokyo has an interesting four-tap lineup at Awashima Soko. karuizawaQ and YOROCCO are side by side, with a clean spread from light beers to dark ones.
MugiWhat! The April 6 lineup is that varied? And you can drink so many different styles at the same bar? That's exciting!
Hop BroThe standout looks like karuizawaQ's Ruby fruit ale. It has raspberries and blueberries, so you get that bright berry aroma.
MugiWhat is that! Are fruit ales sweet like juice, or do they still have that real ale character?
Hop BroThat's the point, it's not just sweet. There's a malt backbone, and the berry aroma sits on top of it, so fruitiness and beer character both come through.
MugiI see! So YOROCCO's Liberation Pils is the crisp, sharp one?
Hop BroExactly. German pils has that refreshing hop snap. For someone who wants to start light, it's a very strong first pour.
MugiMakes sense, but there's a dark one too, right? karuizawaQ's Under the Lights sounds calming just from the name!
Hop BroYou noticed the good one. That's an oatmeal stout, so it's a dark beer you can sip slowly. The oats give it a smoothness and a gentleness beyond just bitterness.
MugiI want to finish with karuizawaQ's Far Shallows, the NZ IPA! It's the one that lifts your mood with hop aroma, then lets you quietly tilt the glass.
Hop BroAnd Awashima Soko also has that atmosphere of enjoying things quietly in a small group. If you compare the four taps calmly with no more than four people, you'll probably end up wanting another drink by the end of the night.
MugiWow, being able to choose based on your mood is the best! I want to start with the pils, wander over to the fruit ale, and finish with the stout!
