Here’s another one of those prefectural round ups that has so little in it that it almost seems like a waste of time writing it. Saga might not be on most people’s places to visit in Japan shortlist. I’ve been to Tosu city quite a few times for football games but there’s nowhere to drink…

Let’s Beer Works
Let’s Beer Works is a place that has been on my ‘to visit’ list for a while but the limited opening hours have always foiled me. Well, until now! I managed to finally get there on my way to Urawa for a football away game. En-route my shoe self-destructed. This is of no interest to…
Aichi round up
A recent trip to Nagoya for a football game that got canceled left me with a bit of spare time and gave me an opportunity to pop over into Mie to visit that prefecture for the first time. Given that I went to a brewpub that is in a flower park that is in the…
Pintology Craft Beer & Whisky
Recently the north of Shibuya-ku has had a lot of new places opening. A few of them have made it on to digest posts, some are still yet to be visited but Pintology having 2nd Story Ale Works’ Italian Pils on tap encouraged me to tick this one off the list and get it on…
Wakayama round up
Tokyo Beer Drinker has recently veered dangerously close to writing something about Osaka, which as I probably said in the case of Kyoto, is a quite frankly massive area that deserves a site of its own. Today we’re back in Kansai but have once again decided to kick the can down the road when it…
Hinomoto Beer Stand
Today a place in another area I had never been to before this visit. Getting off the Yamanote line at Komagome, this place was about a seven minute walk south. I know they used to have a Hinomoto Beer Parlor in Jinbocho. Not sure why they have moved from there to here but it might…
Okei Brewery Nippori
Today it’s Okei Brewing, the first craft beer brewpub in Arakawa-ku! But they don’t quite seem to be up and brewing yet as none of their beers were on tap. When we visited though, there was someone hanging around in the brewery and it looked like things were in place so maybe that’s starting soon….
Kyoto round up
Kyoto, much like Osaka, is a city with a lot of options that this site could never expect to be able to keep on top of. Because of this, until now, I’ve thought that it’s not worth adding Kyoto places as I could never do it to any degree of accuracy. I then realised that…
Nara round up
It’s been quite a long time since I’ve been to Nara and I think all of the places mentioned below opened since my last visit. Nara is a nice touristy city to visit but is surprisingly not as accessible as you might expect given its proximity to Kyoto and Osaka. I think there are a…
Hiroshima round up
Hiroshima is a city which has had some decent bars in it for a few years now, and now seems to be growing when it comes to beer, perhaps with the return of tourists in mind. Perhaps not all of the places will be to everyone’s taste though. But I don’t suppose beer is anyone’s…
