Today, somewhere that stands out from many of the other beer places that are opening at the moment. Awashima Soko is a tiny beer pub with great looking food in a slightly difficult location that specialises in serving beers from Japanese breweries that are rarely seen on tap elsewhere in Tokyo. – Pretty tiny place….
Today, a quick post about a fairly new place that has opened up in the west of Tokyo. Ninkasi is, I presume, given the similarities in logo and their online connections, the sister pub of Gambrinus in Kokubunji. But whilst Gambrinus is located is a windowless room on the sixth floor, Ninkasi is a glass…
The latest in the ever expanding chain of Bakushu Kobo brewpubs that started in Koenji a while ago. This one has a few things that distinguishes it from the other places which I will mention below, but on the whole, it’s the usual Bakushu Kobo package. – First time they have strayed from the Chuo…
NOW CLOSED. THE DEMOLITION DATE GOT MOVED FORWARD. NEW BAR EXPECTED FAIRLY SOON APPARENTLY. A quick post on the new Mikkeller Spring pop-up bar that opened on Saturday in Nakameguro. A quick post as it may not be open very long, but it is definitely worth a visit. In fact, it might be one of…
Very brief post on a new bistro that has opened fairly recently in the Yoyogi Hachiman area. Quick post as it’s not really a beer place, but a post nonetheless for one particular reason that I will mention below. – Quite fancy bistro cafe and is therefore naturally focused on food rather than beer. But……
(This was originally part of a big Daimon/Hamamatsucho area round up post until I decided to split it in order for the tags to work better. Here are part 1, part 2 and part 3) Finally, Soul Bird. Probably the most conventionally styled of all of these places (see the previous parts), Soul Bird is…
(This was originally part of a big Daimon/Hamamatsucho area round up post until I decided to split it in order for the tags to work better. Here are part 1, part 2 and part 4) Barchetta is an Italian restaurant chain that just happens to have decent Japanese craft beer. They used to have a…
(This was originally part of a big Daimon/Hamamatsucho area round up post until I decided to split it in order for the tags to work better. Here are part 1, part 3 and part 4) The Lower Right was pretty different from On The Table. It’s in the basement under a Hub pub and is…
THIS PLACE IS NOW CLOSED (This was originally part of a big Daimon/Hamamatsucho area round up post until I decided to split it in order for the tags to work better. Here are part 2, part 3 and part 4) First, the new bar/restaurant venture from the chain that started with Goodbeer Faucets. (Actually, I…
A quick post about this brewery in Nishikunitachi. It’s been around quite a long time, but given that it’s in a location that I don’t often visit and that I’d tried both of their beers before, it wasn’t high on my list of priorities. However, last weekend the chance arose and I popped in. –…
