This is part three 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, part four is here and part five is here, or you can view all…
Blog
The Slop Shop
Let me start this post with an apology. Sorry this post isn’t very good. Firstly, the photo isn’t a good one but that’s not entirely my fault. There was some construction going on when I visited. Best look out for those distinctive doors to find this place. Secondly, I probably should have made some better…
Coaster Craft Beer & Kitchen
Today a quick post on a bar that seemed to appear without me realising. It’s strange, as I walk along this road quite a lot but I guess that I probably haven’t recently, and perhaps a recent break in boozing has compounded that. But here it is anyway, a new beer bar in Shimokita, a…
Monkey Wrench
Updated April 2024 Finally I’ve made it back to Monkey Wrench. Well, I say made it back, but I mean that I’ve made it to their new location for the first time. It’s been a little while since they moved so I’m sorry it took me so long. As the details are significantly different I’ve…
Two Fingers Craft Beer
Post by James Two Fingers has just opened on the north side of Ikebukuro. It is jointly owned by Nao and Stef. Nao is Japanese and I think Stef is Australian but he speaks decent Japanese. Both are chatty and probably what I liked best about Two Fingers is that it is the kind of…
Craft Beer Bar iBrew Akihabara
Much like the last post, where I suggested that you could find out all you need to know about Beer Kobo Shinjuku by reading the previous posts on Beer Kobo pubs and just changing the location, today’s post on the latest iBrew branch to open in Akihabara can repeat the trick by directing you to…
Beer Kobo Shinjuku
It’s taken me a while to get round to coming here but it shouldn’t really take long to write this blog post as I could just direct you to the other posts about Beer Kobo brew pubs here and be done with it. These places are not to everyone’s taste, but they definitely serve a…
Beernova Urawa
Post by Mothy On January 8th Beernova Urawa (or Beer Nova Urawa- they aren’t 100% consistent with their signage) opened. It’s a nice location close to Urawa station. I didn’t time it, but it’s probably 2 or 3 minutes away at the most. Beernova is a sister shop to BeerHunting Urawa in Kita Urawa. If…
BathHaus (now closed)
This place is now closed Today a brief post on a fairly new place that has opened in my neighbourhood (the general Yoyogi Uehara kind of area). On this blog, we’ve had beer bars, restaurants, beer shops where you can drink, record shops with beer and probably some other types of places that I’ve now…
Yggdrasil Brewing
Today, it’s another new brewery and another new town for the map. In the interests of full disclosure, Yggdrasil is a new brewery taproom that has been opened by friends of mine, so I’m going to try to be even more neutral than usual. Their facebook describes the concept as ‘Heavy Metal infused craft beer,…
