Today, the first of a few posts that will come in quick succession. The Silver Week holiday has given me an opportunity to tick a few places off the backlog, which incidentally is still totally out of control. There is a bit of a Yokohama theme to a few of these posts so I’ll put…
Post by James Titans is a Taproom and bottle shop that has just opened right next to Otsuka station. It is a collaboration between two beer importers AQ Bevolution and Beer Cats. Titans has three floors. The first floor has the counter and large fridges. There is one small table and standing space. The second…
It’s that time of year again for us to enter the Super Arena and drink to excess. Keyaki is back and as it’s Autumn, it’s inside. I have to say when they first started putting the Autumn festival inside I was a bit disappointed, but I have grown to appreciate it for it’s ample seating…
Baird Bashamichi is another place that I’ve been a few times but for some reason have never added. Possibly when I go to Yokohama I get a bit overwhelmed and forget to take pictures and notes. But anyway, here it finally is. As there are significant similarities with the other Baird taprooms, I will concentrate…
Today a quick post on somewhere that I’ve been before but didn’t put on here for some reason. Since then, they seem to have rebranded from Pivovar to Umaya, maybe suggesting that the focus is now the food rather than the beer (just a guess). Yokohama Brewery has been something of a mainstay in the…
A couple of stops down the train line from Fujisawa is a place that I have been looking forward to trying for a long while. Hopman is the sister bar of Ushitora (but don’t let that put you off…) as the people who opened it used to work at the Shimokitazawa home of bad service…
Today, another Fujisawa place. Grano is a pizzeria with a decent selection of craft beer just a few minutes from the station. I’d heard good things about their pizzas and was interested to check them out and of course, also the beers. – Very much feels like a pizza restaurant (because that’s what it is,…
I recently made the trip out of Tokyo to Shonan (football again) and once again took the chance to visit a few beer places that I have been meaning to put on here for ages. Firstly, it’s Mokichi Craft Beer, the beer restaurant of the Shonan brewery in Fujisawa. I went here once before, quite…
(THIS PLACE HAS MOVED AGAIN. GIVEN THAT IT’S A TRAILER, IT WILL PROBABLY BE PRETTY MUCH THE SAME, SO JUST IGNORE THE BITS AROUND THE EDGE OF THE PICTURE AND THE BITS THAT TALK ABOUT THE PREVIOUS LOCATIONS AND JUST FOLLOW THE MAP) A few months ago a slightly bizarre video started appearing on Facebook…
NOW CLOSED – MAYBE REOPENING IN A NEW LOCATION SOME TIME Post by Mothy There was a time I would go to Craft Beer Baby in Urawa 2-3 times a week. Then I had a kid and that number fell to once a week. Then, in December, they closed and it fell to once a…
