Tamsang Tokyo x Craft Beer Bar Taptime is the slightly unwieldy name of the new branch of Taptime which was formerly in Umegaoka and has now moved along the Odakyu line to Yoyogi Hachiman. It’s not only the name that has changed though. There is a very different feel to the new bar and a…
Post by Mothy This is now a new write up by Mothy. I’ve moved the old version right to the bottom of this page if you’re interested in reading it. I wrote about Grow Brew House for Tokyo Beer Drinker back in 2019, but as time passed, things about the place changed and my…
THIS PLACE IS NOW CLOSED AS IT IS APPARENTLY MOVING TO SHIMOKITAZAWA. WILL PUT UP A NEW POST ON THAT PLACE WHEN IT HAS OPENED A quick post today to write this place up properly. I’d heard a lot about it and could probably have done a post without visiting from what people have told…

Although my picture doesn’t show it, it’s in a really nice location with mountains on two sides in the not too far distance. Given that it’s in an area where it seems like…
Snark Liquidworks is now Cycad Brewing. I’ve left this post here for your reference but you can read the new version here Post by James Nishiike Mart / Snark Liquidworks is a newly opened bar and brewery in the West Ikebukuro Kanamecho area. This area has suddenly become one of the best in Tokyo…
THIS PLACE IS NOW CLOSED I have been meaning to try this place for a while as it seemed like an interesting twist on the usual Craft Beer Market concept. The twist is that there are less taps and it’s more like an Izakaya than a CBM. Going to a concert in Kichijoji gave me…
This is part four of what will be constantly updated posts with brief descriptions of places that possibly deserve to be on here but which I have either no time or inclination to visit. Part one is here, part two here, three is here, five is here or you can view all of them by…
