Awashima Soko posts its 5/28 tap list: five beers including Nara Brewing KIP
The beer pub Awashima Soko in Setagaya's Daizawa published its tap list for May 28. A total of five labels from Nara Brewing, YOROCCO, and Kyoto Brewing line up, offering a wide range of pours from pilsner and ale to stout and IPA.
Hop BroToday's topic is the tap list at Awashima Soko, the beer pub in Daizawa, Setagaya Ward. On May 28, Nara Brewing, YOROCCO, and Kyoto Brewing are all on the board, and it's a really appealing lineup.
MugiWhoa, five brands all lined up!? If there's that much to drink, I'd already be having fun before I even decide!
Hop BroAnd leading things off is Nara Brewing's KIP (Hoppy Pilsner), followed by YOROCCO's Golden Ale, a Dry Stout, Kyoto Brewing's Hazy IPA, and even an American IPA. I like that the range is deliberately designed.
MugiA hoppy pilsner? What even is that! A pilsner that's hoppy sounds busy just from the name!
Hop BroPut simply, it's a pilsner that balances lightness and hop character. The drinkability is crisp, but the aroma still comes through, so it's the kind of beer that's strong as a first pour.
MugiI see, so next I can ease into YOROCCO's Golden Ale! Just from the name it sounds golden and tasty, and it's the kind of beer that photographs well too.
Hop BroFrom there, moving on to Hometown Stout changes the scenery completely. Since it's a dry stout, you can enjoy roastiness and a clean finish more than sweetness, and that contrast in the beers is interesting.
MugiYou can feel a contrast in temperature through beer!? Then Kyoto Brewing's DrinkMe! seems interesting too, with both the look and the flavor sounding fluffy and rich!
Hop BroExactly, the appeal of a Hazy IPA is that explosive hop aroma. It's packed into the haze, and if you compare it with the American IPA LOCOMOTION, you can even see how the bitterness presents itself.
MugiThis is basically like having a conversation about bitterness! But if the place is calm and good for small groups, you can really compare them carefully.
Hop BroExactly. Opening is at 18:00 and last call is late, so it's perfect for a night of taking your time to choose. Along Awashima-dori, even the time spent wondering what to drink tonight tastes good.
MugiAll right, I'm starting with the pilsner! And in the end, I want to finish with the kind that makes me think, I want one more!

There are five drafts on tap that day. The lineup is Nara Brewing's "KIP (Hoppy Pilsner)", YOROCCO's "Swallow's Humming (Golden Ale)", YOROCCO's "Hometown Stout (Dry Stout)", Kyoto Brewing's "DrinkMe! (Hazy IPA)", and Nara Brewing's "LOCOMOTION (American IPA)".
The range of styles is clear too, with everything from a lively hoppy pilsner to an aromatic hazy IPA and a solid dry stout. It is an easy list to use not only if you want to compare bitterness and hop aroma, but also if you want to switch beers as you move through a meal. Along Awashima-dori, this is the kind of tap list worth remembering for a relaxed drink with a small group.
