With three places in totally different parts of the prefecture on here having proper write ups, I thought that visiting a new brewery in Ibaraki would give me a good opportunity to finally start a round up post. (Which doesn’t completely make sense, but it’s much easier to do digest posts for non Tokyo places,…
I’ve been to Kaiser Chick TWICE, and I’ll certainly be back again. That said, I will not be visiting again when the K-Pop girl group TWICE is playing at the nearby Ajinomoto Stadium. Kaiser Chick is equal parts German beer hall, British pub food restaurant and French patisserie, and a really good place to enjoy…
Caliquors Tokyo West is the sister bar of similarly named Caliquors Tokyo in Kanda, but this time it’s in Chitose Funabashi, about three minutes from the station. I really like the Kanda branch so I was quite pleased to hear that a new branch had opened about the same distance from my place in the…
I was slightly disappointed when I went to add a new place to my Gifu round up and found that I hadn’t bothered making a Gifu round up. Last time we were here it was Yell Ale or nowhere in Gifu city. Now there seems to be a lot of new(ish) places, but we were…
Today, a place I probably thought I would never make it to. Kawaguchi isn’t very far from Tokyo, but at the same time, it wasn’t really on my list of places to go. From my very limited experience of going there, it seemed like quite a nice place, so more fool me for not putting…
For once I can actually use the phrase ‘newly opened’ and not be criticised for having a loose grip on the passing of time. Inabazu was opened a few months ago and is a small brewpub about 10 minutes walk from Inadazutsumi station, just over the Tama river in Kawasaki. It’s probably not an area…
Today we have a moderately new brewery in Kawasaki, not too far from Mizonokuchi station but actually closer to Takatsu. (I was going to say newly opened, but they were celebrating their first anniversary when we visited… Clearly I don’t get to new places as quickly as I used to). I’d heard mixed things about…
Today a place that I was going to save and add to the next digest post, but maybe feels like it deserves a post of its own. There’s not a great deal to say though, so it will be very brief and all condensed into one paragraph. Maybe this is a good way to go…
Today we visit the first iBrew bar outside of Tokyo. Some people have long been calling for an iBrew in Yokohama and their dream has now come true. I visited the bar on the first Saturday it was open as I had a football match in Yokohama later that afternoon. The match was terrible so…
Golden Week and two football away games gave us the excuse to take an extremely indirect route back home from Fukuoka via Kyoto, visiting plenty of Shimane places on the way. We crossed into Tottori briefly, but the place we went to there was a Belgian beer bar, and having visited no other places, it…
