Today a new bar that offers something a bit different for a few reasons. Firstly, it has a real Izakaya feel to it and that’s something that you don’t get with many of the recently opened bars. Also it’s in an area where there’s not much in the way of craft beer places at the…
Today, part three of my loose Belgian trilogy and it’s another Delirium related place. I think I mentioned in the Brasserie Muh post that I hadn’t yet been here, so given that I was kind of close, I thought I’d pop in and get it done. I was expecting great things as De Dolle is…
A brief post on another arm of the Delirium chain of Belgian bars/restaurants, this one being notable for being the first decent beer place in the rapidly up and coming Musashi Kosugi area. It will seem pretty familiar to you if you have visited any of the other bars in the chain. If I had…
Please note that this is Kirin’s Craft Beer brewery, so if you are offended by macro beers, this is not the place for you. Post by James As soon as you see this place you are struck by its size and beauty. It seems much too big to be only a few minutes walk from…
A new Baird taproom! That kind of came out of the blue. And it’s in Takadanobaba, an interesting area where some beery stuff seems to be starting to happen. As usual, for the full details, I’d recommend checking one of the other Baird taproom posts (Harajuku or Nakameguro. Bashamichi to be done soon, I hope)….
NOW CLOSED. ANOTHER VICTIM OF CORONAVIRUS I GUESS. THE ORIGINAL PLACE IS STILL OPEN THOUGH. CHECK THE LINK IN THE POST BELOW. A quick post on the new Thrash Zone (I didn’t see that coming). Quick, because there is not much apart from the location that’s different from the place near Yokohama station. In fact,…
THIS PLACE HAS NOW CLOSED DOWN. INFO IS LEFT HERE FOR SOME UNKNOWN PURPOSE Post by James This place is very close to Shinjuku station’s south exit or Shinjuku Sanchome. There are apparently 42 seats so it is a relatively big place considering its location. There is a very small counter that can sit three but…
This place is now closed, but I’ve heard it might be reopening under a new name as part of a fairly well know local chain soon. When it does, and when I get round to it, I’ll update this. Post by James Nonsuch is a bar in Ikebukuro. It is a few minutes walk from…
THIS PLACE HAS NOW MOVED TO YOYOGI HACHIMAN. POST ON THE NEW PLACE TO FOLLOW SOON Today we are venturing into territory where there is not much in the way of craft beer. Given that Umegaoka is on the Odakyu line, it’s really easy for me to get here, so consequently it was somewhere that…
For a while people have been bemoaning the lack of brewpubs in Tokyo. But at the moment it seems that we are getting a new one every month. Less frequent than we get new bars, the rate of opening of which I think has slowed to around one new place every two days recently. After…
