I’d heard a few things about Rikri which made me keen to pay them a visit. Also, when checking their Instagram there seemed to be plenty on there to make me feel quite optimistic about what I’d find when I did visit. Given that there were some holidays coming up which basically massively extended the…
After School has been intriguing me for a while. The concept, a brewery in a former school building, is a unique one as far as I know. But I guess there is some history in Japan for former schools being adapted for different kinds of uses. Along with the brewery in the school building there…
A quick post today on somewhere than I have had on my list of places to go to, but I probably realistically didn’t imagine I’d get to this soon. Ushiku Brewing’s taproom Grains and Grapes is about ten minutes walk from Ushiku station in the other direction from where Chateau Kamiya used to be. (Well…
There’s probably not a great deal to write about this place, but I’ll do my best. And I have to say I did enjoy drinking here more than I’d expect. Be careful though if you like music. I’d already browsed the records and I decided I couldn’t justify buying the couple of things I wanted…
Part 14 of this site’s never-ending digest posts. The picture has nothing to do with anything. I just thought it looked better if there was something in the thumbnail. The strange thing is that my dream is that one day I will be able to delete a previous digest post as there will no longer…
Today a quick post on a place which looks quite appealing to me, but which I have failed to use in the way I wanted to on a few occasions. This may sound kind of mysterious but the truth is more mundane. Namely, every time I’ve visited it’s been quite busy, so instead of being…
Today, a couple of places I visited on a short jaunt out of Tokyo, past Yokohama to Ofuna. It’s been a while since I went to Yorocco’s Kamakura taproom, which is something of a surprise as it’s somewhere I really enjoyed. So when I heard they’d opened somewhere in Ofuna which is a touch closer…
No Beer joins the club of slightly strangely named bars on this site. Much like Why Beer? in Yoyogi Uehara, it almost seems like they are trying to put you off visiting. After visiting, I can confirm that they do in fact serve beer and they have a decent variety of them available. Here’s what…
Sorry, it’s been a while since I’ve added anywhere to this site. Will hopefully improve on that front soon and add a whole load of new places that are currently on my ‘to visit’ list. But in the meantime, here’s a post on a place that you might not be travelling specifically to visit, (although…
I visited Three Arrows quite a while ago, shortly after it opened, but somehow failed to write it up till now. With that in mind, it’s all a bit hazy, and I can’t vouch that everything on here will be correct, but I’ve checked as many things as possible and when I make it back…
