Very brief post on a new bistro that has opened fairly recently in the Yoyogi Hachiman area. Quick post as it’s not really a beer place, but a post nonetheless for one particular reason that I will mention below. – Quite fancy bistro cafe and is therefore naturally focused on food rather than beer. But……

Daimon/Hamamatsucho round up part 4: Soul Bird
(This was originally part of a big Daimon/Hamamatsucho area round up post until I decided to split it in order for the tags to work better. Here are part 1, part 2 and part 3) Finally, Soul Bird. Probably the most conventionally styled of all of these places (see the previous parts), Soul Bird is…
Barchetta (NOW CLOSED)
(This was originally part of a big Daimon/Hamamatsucho area round up post until I decided to split it in order for the tags to work better. Here are part 1, part 2 and part 4) Barchetta is an Italian restaurant chain that just happens to have decent Japanese craft beer. They used to have a…
Lower Right (NOW CLOSED)
(This was originally part of a big Daimon/Hamamatsucho area round up post until I decided to split it in order for the tags to work better. Here are part 1, part 3 and part 4) The Lower Right was pretty different from On The Table. It’s in the basement under a Hub pub and is…
On The Table NOW CLOSED
THIS PLACE IS NOW CLOSED (This was originally part of a big Daimon/Hamamatsucho area round up post until I decided to split it in order for the tags to work better. Here are part 2, part 3 and part 4) First, the new bar/restaurant venture from the chain that started with Goodbeer Faucets. (Actually, I…
Beer Factory Kamikaze (NOW CLOSED)
A quick post about this brewery in Nishikunitachi. It’s been around quite a long time, but given that it’s in a location that I don’t often visit and that I’d tried both of their beers before, it wasn’t high on my list of priorities. However, last weekend the chance arose and I popped in. –…
Kofu special part 2: The Vault (NOW CLOSED)
(This place has now closed down, but may reopen somewhere else, at some stage. Watch this space, I guess) The Vault is pretty near Hops & Herbs (from here on referred to as H&H) and if you are if Kofu, it makes sense to pop in here too I reckon. It is also part of…
Kofu special part 1: Hops & Herbs
(This was originally two places on one post. It has now been split. Part 2 is here) Today, a brief excursion a little way out of Tokyo into Yamanashi, the home of Outsider brewing. We were in Kofu for one night only for football but fortunately that seems to be enough time to deal with…
Gachimaya Okinawan Craft Beer Restaurant
Post by Iain According to the blurb on the menu, “gachimaya” means the same as kuishimbo (big eater/gutsy pig) in Okinawan dialect and given the quality of the food in this restaurant it’s tempting to take that as a challenge and try to live up to the name. Although handily placed for Jimbocho Disk Union,…
Beer Engine
Once again, thanks to all the people who are helping out with post on the blog. It really is shaming me into getting to some new places myself. So, consequently when I found myself with an early finish in Koenji this week it seemed like the perfect opportunity to check out the newly-opened Beer Engine….
