Post by James Grau Craft Beer Bar has just opened about 9 minutes from Fujimino station. For anyone who’s never heard of Fujimino, it is about 30 minutes from Ikebukuro on the Tobu Tojo line. A bit of a trek for most people. The bar looks good both inside and out. The street in…
Today, the last post from my Shibuya Beer Party 2021 expeditions and it’s somewhere that I have walked past on numerous occasions but never considered going into. Gau’s is quite near Cidernaut and slightly hidden away on the 2nd floor. But as there’s plenty of bright signage it’s probably hard to miss it. In the…
Today another place visited in pursuit of the Shibuya Beer Party 2021 stamp rally prize. And to be honest it’s a place I had never really thought about visiting before.

Here’s what you need to know: – Small standing bar in what looks a bit like a tiny portacabin but is actually the bottom floor of a very uniquely designed building. There’s…
Today, another standing bar, this time run by a beer importer based here in Tokyo. Inn Beers run the Warrior Celt in Ueno and import British stuff. You may have recently noticed that there are suddenly a lot more hyped UK breweries’ beers available in Japan and this company is the reason behind this. Although…
