THIS PLACE IS NOW CLOSED (This was initially part of a larger post combining three places in Kichijoji. There are now split into individual entries. Here are part 1 and part 2) – Fancy new place attached to what I think is a bakery about 10 minutes walk away from the hustle and bustle near…

Kichijoji round up part 2: Bicke (NOW CLOSED)
(This was initially part of a larger post combining three places in Kichijoji. There are now split into individual entries. Here are part 1 and part 3) – Fairly big place for a Japanese beer bar. Counter for around ten and seats for maybe 35. Feels pretty spacious too and has quite a comfortable ambience…
Kichijoji round up part 1: Rogue
(This was initially part of a larger post combining three places in Kichijoji. There are now split into individual entries. Here are part 2 and part 3) I had been meaning to get to Kichijoji for a while as there are a few bars there that I needed to check out. I finally did it…
New Craft Beer Markets: Kichijoji
This post used to be a joint post with another Craft Beer Market. Check the other one out here if you are interested. The points that both have in common appear in both posts. Today, part one on two fairly new Craft Beer Markets (click here for all of the CBM posts in one place),…

Beer++/Jujo Suiken
Today, a brewpub in Kita-ku, about 10 minutes from Shinjuku on the Saikyo line. It’s nice to see that we have brewpubs opening as well as bars, as I imagine it is much more of an effort to set up a brewery than a bar. Also, given that many new places are offering similar concepts…
Shujitsu One
A tiny post on this new place in Yoyogi Uehara, mentioned mainly because it’s near where I live and in spite of a large increase of places locally recently, I’d happily have more. Shujitsu One, (not sure exactly how to call it) is basically three taps of craft beer and food in the back of…
Wiz Craft Beer & Food
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,…
Yanaka Beer Hall
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…
Towa
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…
