The beer pub Awashima Soko in Daizawa, Setagaya Ward, Tokyo, has announced its tap list for May 23. A total of five beers from Nara Brewing, YOROCCO, and Kyoto Brewing are on the lineup, offering a wide range of styles from pilsners to hazy IPAs and stouts.
Hop BroToday’s topic is the May 23 tap list released by Awashima Soko in Daizawa, Setagaya Ward, Tokyo. Nara Brewing, YOROCCO, and Kyoto Brewing are all on it, and just looking at it makes my throat thirsty.
MugiWait, just five beers total and it still has that much variety!? That alone is exciting!
Hop BroThe lineup is great. Nara Brewing's KIP is a Hoppy Pilsner, LOCOMOTION is an American IPA, YOROCCO's Swallow's Humming and Hometown Stout are there, and even Kyoto Brewing's Hazy IPA DrinkMe! is included.
MugiA Hoppy Pilsner? What is that! A pilsner that’s hoppy? My brain can’t keep up!
Hop BroBasically, it adds hop aroma to the light, crisp character of a pilsner. It’s the kind of clean, pleasantly bitter-and-delicious balance that works perfectly as a first drink.
MugiI see! Then maybe next I’d want something roasty. A dry stout is that dark, bitter adult beer, right?
Hop BroExactly. YOROCCO's Hometown Stout brings out the toasty aroma of roasted malt, and DrinkMe!'s hazy fruitiness is there too, so the range of aromas is really fun.
MugiWhoa, this is the kind of place where you can go from the first drink all the way to the finish! And Awashima Soko is a small-group kind of place, right?
Hop BroExactly. They may turn away groups of four or more, so dropping by casually with a small group is the right move. On Saturdays they open from 3 p.m., so being able to have a beer from early in the day is another strong point.
MugiThen today’s plan is definitely not a big gathering, but a small-group visit! I want it to be a quiet, slow-drinking night, and I can already feel my throat remembering beer!
The beer pub Awashima Soko in Daizawa, Setagaya Ward, Tokyo, announced its business lineup for May 23. TODAY'S on Tap features five beers: Nara Brewing's "KIP (Hoppy Pilsner)" and "LOCOMOTION (American IPA)", YOROCCO's "Swallow's Humming (Golden Ale)" and "Hometown Stout (Dry Stout)", and Kyoto Brewing's "DrinkMe! (Hazy IPA)".
Looking at the lineup, it ranges widely from a crisp hoppy pilsner to a hazy IPA that lets you enjoy the hop aroma to the fullest, and on to a dry stout with a pronounced roasted character. It is an arrangement that works well both for those who want to start with a refreshing first pint and for those who want to take their time drinking.
The shop is a small beer pub in the Awashima-dori area, and in its posts it notes that it may turn away groups of four or more and asks customers to come in small groups. It is open on weekdays from 18:00 to 24:00, Saturdays from 15:00 to 23:00, and Sundays and holidays from 15:00 to 22:00. May 23 falls on a Saturday, so being able to stop by from an early hour is another convenient point.
Even in a photo of the storefront sign, you can feel the relaxed atmosphere that makes it easy to focus on the beer. Rather than flashiness, it is a tap lineup that feels very much like Awashima Soko: one that lets you choose a pint with confidence in the middle of everyday life.
