Awashima Soko on 4/13: Five springlike taps

The beer pub "Awashima Soko" in Daizawa, Setagaya Ward, released its business information for Monday, April 13, along with that day's `TODAY'S on Tap`. The shop will be open from `18:00 to 24:00`, with food last order at 23:00 and drinks last order at 23:30. It is a setup where you can relax and enjoy food and beer together during the calmer hours.

The lineup for the day consists of five beers. First up is `YOROCCO / Spring Thunder` (Hoppy Saison). Next are `FARMENTRY / New Zealand Pilsner` (Pilsner), `karuizawaQ / Under the Light` (Oatmeal Stout), `YOROCCO / Cultivator` (Hoppy Belgian Pale Ale), and `Nara Brewing / CHARM` (Hazy IPA). From a hoppy saison to a crisp pilsner, a roasty oatmeal stout, and a hazy IPA with broad drinkability, the range of flavors is what stands out.

On the food side, rape blossoms have ended, but the new onion fritter is still being served. In addition, the firefly squid and rape blossom vinegared miso dressing has been updated to use komatsuna. The menu is built around spring ingredients. At a beer pub like Awashima Soko, whether the food is in season enough to match each tap's character matters too, and on this day that balance is especially clear.

For anyone in the Setagaya/Awajima area who wants to slowly enjoy craft beer with a meal, this is the kind of rotating tap lineup worth remembering.
