THIS PLACE IS NOW CLOSED. I’VE HEARD THERE WILL BE A NEW PLACE OPENING IN THE SAME LOCATION BUT IT MIGHT BE MORE FOOD FOCUSSED. WE’LL SEE WHEN IT OPENS The fifth Craft Beer Market, and it’s a bit of a departure for them. Well, in terms of geographical location. Pretty much everything else is…

Cactus Burrito
Today, a brief post about a great restaurant that has good beer. Cactus Burrito is in suburban Kawasaki near Musashi-Shinjo station. I first became aware of them after a facebook post about them buying beer for the restaurant at Antenna America, and given that Mexican is one of my favourite foods, and one that is…
World Beer Market (NOW CLOSED)
THIS PLACE HAS NOW MOVED TO THE OTHER SIDE OF KITA SENJU STATION. CHECK OUT THE NEW POST HERE Today, a fantastic beer shop in Kita Senju. I visited here a year or so ago, and it was good. But since then they seem to have considerably upped their game. Maybe it’s not particularly convenient…
Gremlin
Finally! This is the place I have been waiting for. A really nice bar, serving good beer at a good price, close to my house. Guess I have been a bit picky, but this is the kind of place I can see myself going to often, even if I have to walk 15 minutes to…
Regional Produce/Satellite Shops 7: Shinagawa area
A quick post on another Satellite shop that I’ve found. It’s another Akita one, and with not as much stock as the other Akita one, but thought it was worth mentioning in case you’re in the area, as there are a lot of hotels here. I also thought that maybe some more will crop up…
23 Craft Beerz (NOW CLOSED)
THIS PLACE HAS NOW CLOSED SADLY I was a little confused at first with this name as they didn’t seem to actually have 23 taps, but when we went the second time and sat at the bar, I spotted a couple of handpumps and felt thoroughly reassured. Behind the bar they have 20 taps…
Brief Nagoya intermission, part 2: Keg Nagoya
(This is part two of my Nagoya posts. Here are parts one and three) Our second stop and one of the three places in Nagoya that are owned by the company that runs Y. Market (the other two being Grillman and naturally, the Y. Market taproom). Keg is a lot smaller than Y. Market, with…
Brief Nagoya intermission, part 1: Y. Market
(This is part one of my Nagoya posts. Here are parts two and three. These were originally one post, hence there being a kind of introduction on this one and a conclusion on the third one) I wasn’t going to post about my recent trip to Nagoya, but I was encouraged to do so. This…
Craft Beer Stand Turquoise
Another short post, this time on a small bar in Ogikubo tucked away down an alley, with not so many taps, but a nice feel to it. – 5 taps of Japanese craft beer, served in three sizes, small (200ml), medium (280ml) and large (430ml). All beers are priced the same, from small to large,…
iBeer Le Sun Palm (NOW CLOSED)
A rival for Craft Beer Server Land in the crazy named bar competition. Shopping centre craft beer bar in the food court on the 7th floor of Hikarie in Shibuya. Seems to be very much targeted at Hikarie’s regular shopping crowd (women in their twenties). – 12 taps of Japanese craft beer and about 30…
