A brief post on another arm of the Delirium chain of Belgian bars/restaurants, this one being notable for being the first decent beer place in the rapidly up and coming Musashi Kosugi area. It will seem pretty familiar to you if you have visited any of the other bars in the chain. If I had…

Baird Takadanobaba Taproom
A new Baird taproom! That kind of came out of the blue. And it’s in Takadanobaba, an interesting area where some beery stuff seems to be starting to happen. As usual, for the full details, I’d recommend checking one of the other Baird taproom posts (Harajuku or Nakameguro. Bashamichi to be done soon, I hope)….
Thrash Zone Meatballs (NOW CLOSED)
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,…
Taptime (NOW CLOSED)
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…
YYG Brewery & Beer Kitchen
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…
Delirium Ginza
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…
Sakazuki Brewing
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…
Awashima Soko
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….
Ninkasi
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…
Takadanobaba Beer Kobo
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…
