The last of my three stops on Sunday, the possibly amusingly named Wiz is another pretty new place. Looks like the rush of openings is still going strong. Perhaps it was the location, but before I went I felt like it had a Craft Beer Market feel to it. In other words, lots of taps,…
Few updates added below as I popped in here today and it seems that what I’ve written on here isn’t very accurate anymore. Quick post on my first stop last Sunday. Yanaka Beer Hall is a fairly new place (I believe) and is a pretty unusual location for a craft beer place. I suspect it…
In order to somehow attempt to save myself from my ever-increasing backlog of places to visit I set out on Sunday afternoon to try a few new spots. Towa was one of these spots. I don’t often find myself in the Ueno area, but looking at the tokyobeerdrinker map it seems that this is an…
I’ve finally made it to Beer Shop Llama so have done a major revamp of this post. Normally in this situation I just update the new part and leave the old bits for reference, but in this case I think it would end up with too much mess, so everything here is about Llama and…
It’s almost Keyaki time again and this time it’s a bumper six day stint, thanks to Silver Week (something I was unaware of until fairly recently, but now I am ready to accept with open arms). As it’s Autumn we are back inside the Saitama Super Arena. There seems to be quite a few new…
Hop-Scotch is a fairly new place specialising in US imports and whiskey. I am ashamed to say that I didn’t notice the significance of the name for a while. It features the bar managing talents of Randy, ex of the Hangover, who I guess some of you will know as he is a very important…
Quite roomy place with a heavy Brewdog theme as you can probably see from the logo. No Japanese craft on tap, but they did have four taps of imported craft beer. On my visit they had Stone, Mikkeller and Brewdog on. Tap information is on their website and looking at this it seems they do…
THIS PLACE IS NOW CLOSED, PERHAPS THE FIRST BAR VICTIM OF CORONAVIRUS… Quick post on a new branch of iBrew, very close to the original iBrew. I’m pleased to see that they are branching out again after what happened to the iBrew in Shinbashi which turned into an oyster bar and therefore became pretty redundant…
Just a quick post today to ask for some of your thoughts on the Tokyo bar scene, specifically, which bars you like the best. I asked this question on Twitter and Facebook to very little response (thanks to the two of you who did answer!), so thought I would try to get some more responses…
THIS PLACE IS NOW CLOSED This is part two on Nishiogikubo. Part 1 is here. Pretty different to Beer Kobo and certainly seemed to attract a different crowd. Project is a pretty classy beer and dining place, much smaller than Beer Kobo and the other way from the station. The decor is very wooden again,…
