SCOO has now closed. But the person who ran the branch has now started her own place. It’s called Osacu and is in Hatagaya. It seems to be a bit more food focused and only has three taps, but I’ll try to go there and write it up soon. It’s on the map already in…
Quick post today on another ‘Delirium’ place, although the Delirium part of the name seems to have been getting phased out a bit recently. The Sendai Delirium became a Butcher Republic. Nothing much changed as far as I could tell. Apart from the name. Perhaps this has happened to other branches but it’s fair to…
Wanting to broaden my horizons a little, I have set myself a task for 2021. I won’t reveal the details yet as I don’t want to have public evidence of it for when I mess it up or give up. But this task led me indirectly to visit Gahaha. Gahaha had been on my list…
The other night, my daughter and I jokingly asked the respective Siris living inside our iPhones to talk to each other. After a few esoteric attempts at artificial intelligence communication, my phone magically recommended that I check out Tegamisha Brewery. Gave me Google Map directions and all. This spot opened last June 3rd and is…
Today, a quick post on a shop that I have walked past hundreds of times and visited only a few times. Takekuma is an off licence/booze shop a little way up Bremen street from Motosumiyoshi station. I used to pop in to get an emergency Orval from time to time and in those days it…
It’s weird that at one of the worst possible times to visit new places I suddenly seem to have found an appetite for doing so. Once again the state of emergency has naturally influenced the experience I was able to have here, but I’ll do my best to give a decent summing up of this…
I’m not sure this really counts as a new blog post as large portions of it have been lifted directly from the old blog post on this bar’s previous incarnation, Craft Beer Market Koenji (you can check that post here if you want and if you can read the text through the strikethrough effect). To…
After the last post about Beer Cellar Sapporo Harajuku, a beer shop with drinking on site available we move on to Threefeet Tokyo, a beer shop with a bit less on site drinking available. If I had to sum up the differences succinctly I’d say that Threefeet has more fridges and less seats. There is…
An afternoon visit to Harajuku for an errand has kickstarted this blog back into real posting action. Perhaps… This is the first of two posts on quite new places in the Harajuku area which both happen to be beer shops with some degree of on site drinking. This seems to be becoming quite a popular…
A new year, so time for a new blog post! But, yet again it’s another digest post. Thankfully for people who want to see new posts on this blog, my lack on enthusiasm for updating it is outweighed by my desire to tick places off my digest post to do list. In the last few…
