NOW CLOSED. ANOTHER VICTIM OF CORONAVIRUS I GUESS. THE ORIGINAL PLACE IS STILL OPEN THOUGH. CHECK THE LINK IN THE POST BELOW. A quick post on the new Thrash Zone (I didn’t see that coming). Quick, because there is not much apart from the location that’s different from the place near Yokohama station. In fact,…
THIS PLACE HAS NOW CLOSED DOWN. INFO IS LEFT HERE FOR SOME UNKNOWN PURPOSE Post by James This place is very close to Shinjuku station’s south exit or Shinjuku Sanchome. There are apparently 42 seats so it is a relatively big place considering its location. There is a very small counter that can sit three but…
This place is now closed, but I’ve heard it might be reopening under a new name as part of a fairly well know local chain soon. When it does, and when I get round to it, I’ll update this. Post by James Nonsuch is a bar in Ikebukuro. It is a few minutes walk from…
THIS PLACE HAS NOW MOVED TO YOYOGI HACHIMAN. POST ON THE NEW PLACE TO FOLLOW SOON Today we are venturing into territory where there is not much in the way of craft beer. Given that Umegaoka is on the Odakyu line, it’s really easy for me to get here, so consequently it was somewhere that…
For a while people have been bemoaning the lack of brewpubs in Tokyo. But at the moment it seems that we are getting a new one every month. Less frequent than we get new bars, the rate of opening of which I think has slowed to around one new place every two days recently. After…
I recently realised that I don’t have many of the Delirium locations on here so I guess I should probably remedy that soon. First on the list for me to visit was the most recently opened one and I think the one with the most taps. Like many of the other branches, it’s not in…
I’ve now visited the new location. Here’s what’s different from the old place (the write up for which is still below). The new place is bigger! The ground floor of the building is the brewery and a standing bar taproom. The second floor has the brewery restaurant where you can eat as well as drink…
Today, somewhere that stands out from many of the other beer places that are opening at the moment. Awashima Soko is a tiny beer pub with great looking food in a slightly difficult location that specialises in serving beers from Japanese breweries that are rarely seen on tap elsewhere in Tokyo. – Pretty tiny place….
Today, a quick post about a fairly new place that has opened up in the west of Tokyo. Ninkasi is, I presume, given the similarities in logo and their online connections, the sister pub of Gambrinus in Kokubunji. But whilst Gambrinus is located is a windowless room on the sixth floor, Ninkasi is a glass…
The latest in the ever expanding chain of Bakushu Kobo brewpubs that started in Koenji a while ago. This one has a few things that distinguishes it from the other places which I will mention below, but on the whole, it’s the usual Bakushu Kobo package. – First time they have strayed from the Chuo…
