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,…
Today, a post on a brewery/brewpub/restaurant in Shinagawa, T. Y. Harbor. I had been meaning to go here for a while as I had heard mixed reports and was keen to decide for myself. So, I finally made it there a couple of Fridays ago with a group of friends. My first impression was that…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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 in…
(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…
(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…
