A brief post on Pump, a fairly new bar that opened late last year between Ikebukuro and Mejiro. – About 500m south of Ikebukuro on the main road. – Around 20 seats and place for about ten at the counter. – Bright and new decor with quite a young atmosphere. – Half, ¥500-¥700, Pint, ¥840-¥1180….
Pigalle is a European beer bar in Sangenjaya, a little west of Shibuya on the Den-en-toshi line (which incidentally has a reputation of being one of the most crowded lines in Tokyo). A short post as they don’t have much Japanese beer here, but that’s not really the point of the place! – Very small…
Another great bottle shop with a decent selection, in an area not blessed with many options. – Bottle shop in Shimokitazawa with a good selection of Japanese beers and imports at decent prices. – Several fridges full and plenty of Japanese stuff – Lots of US imports from a mix of importers. Nice variety. –…
This is the new ‘brew-on-site’ location for Kiuchi, best know for their Hitachino Nest beers, just over the river from Akihabara.

Sadly, the Grub has now closed Just a brief post today on a fairly new place that has opened in Yoyogi Uehara. I initially wasn’t sure whether I should put this on here as there is a lot of non-Craft beer there. But considering that I seem to keep going there I thought it owed…
A brief post on this really nice place in Kamakura. The Blue Room is a small craft beer and pizza place on the main shopping street in Kamakura. As far as I know it’s the only beer bar in Kamakura at the moment and although I could only pop in for a couple of drinks,…
