Ant n’ Bee is somewhere I have been meaning to go for a long time. Finally I made it there last week. It is a place that has been around for a while now, so is an elder statesman compared to many of the young upstarts that have recently enriched the beer scene here. On…
THIS PLACE IS NOW CLOSED. THIS BLOG’S SECOND COVID VICTIM Not to be confused with Craftheads, Craft Hands is a craft beer and wine bar in swanky Azabujuban. This is an area of Tokyo that I have never been to before, and to be honest I still haven’t seen much of it, as the bar…
Nihonbashi this time. Not too many more of these left for me to visit, so please if you know any more send me an email to tokyobeerdrinker@gmail.com. Thanks. Nihonbashi Shimane Kan Nothing here apart from Beer Hearn/Herun, whatever you want to call it, but I am kind of interested in their beer so have included…
APPARENTLY THIS SHOP HAS EITHER CLOSED DOWN OR GOT RID OF ALL THE BEERS (EITHER WAY, I GUESS IT’S NOT OF INTEREST ANYMORE), SO IT HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM THE MAP. Another shop today, but there is a bit of a twist, or some might say a hitch with this one. Le Collier is a…
Another bunch of regional produce shops, this time in the Tokyo station area. Was particularly pleased to find somewhere that sells a decent selection of North Island beers. Hokkaido Foodist (seems to have moved underground in broadly the same area. Shows up when you do a google maps search for the place name. Will update…
THIS BAR HAS MOVED TO A COMPLETELY NEW LOCATION. THE ADDRESS AND MAP BELOW ARE FOR THE NEW PLACE. I’LL UPDATE THE LISTING WHEN I MAKE IT THERE. Back onto more familiar Japanese beer territory with Towers, a pretty small standing bar near Toyko station. Towers is somewhere I always enjoy popping in to and…
Straying slightly of the Japanese beer track again today with what I think is the best of the Delirium/Belg Aube group of bars. However, they are all pretty good if you want to drink Belgian beer and certainly nicer than the Delirium Cafes in Belgium. Belgian beer was the beer that first got me drinking…
Couple of shops in Shinbashi, very close to Shinshu Sake Mura which I guess is a satellite shop too. Worth popping in if you have had a bit too much Nagano produce and want to diversify your Japanese beer consumption. Tottori-Okayama Shinbashikan The new location for the Tottori shop. They have moved over the road…
Another couple of satellite shops, this time in Higashi Ginza. Gunmachanchi (has moved to a fairly nearby location. Search for the shop name in google maps) So, this is where the Gunma mascot, Gunmachan lives, if you believe the name of the shop. I am not sure if he helps brew any of the beer…
This is the first of a series of posts about ‘Satellite Shops’ in Tokyo. These are basically shops that sell produce from a specific prefecture in order to promote tourism in these areas and the food and drink that these different regions make. This is of interest to us, because these shops often include craft…
