Today a post on what is a relatively under the radar, (at least in my eyes), small chain of pubs. Obviously, I can only vouch for the branch I went to, so the other two will remain on the digest post here. However, I imagine the experience is fairly similar though, even if the decor…

Tamsang Tokyo x Craft Beer Bar Taptime
Tamsang Tokyo x Craft Beer Bar Taptime is the slightly unwieldy name of the new branch of Taptime which was formerly in Umegaoka and has now moved along the Odakyu line to Yoyogi Hachiman. It’s not only the name that has changed though. There is a very different feel to the new bar and a…
Tokyo Aleworks Taproom
Quick update: They now have accommodation above the bar. Something like a hotel. And there’s a plan to get beer connected up to your room so soon you will be able to drink yourself to sleep perhaps without having to leave your bed! Couldn’t find any info about it on their website, but was told…
Coaster Craft Beer & Kitchen
Today a quick post on a bar that seemed to appear without me realising. It’s strange, as I walk along this road quite a lot but I guess that I probably haven’t recently, and perhaps a recent break in boozing has compounded that. But here it is anyway, a new beer bar in Shimokita, a…
Monkey Wrench
Updated April 2024 Finally I’ve made it back to Monkey Wrench. Well, I say made it back, but I mean that I’ve made it to their new location for the first time. It’s been a little while since they moved so I’m sorry it took me so long. As the details are significantly different I’ve…
Craft Beer Bar iBrew Akihabara
Much like the last post, where I suggested that you could find out all you need to know about Beer Kobo Shinjuku by reading the previous posts on Beer Kobo pubs and just changing the location, today’s post on the latest iBrew branch to open in Akihabara can repeat the trick by directing you to…
Beer Kobo Shinjuku
It’s taken me a while to get round to coming here but it shouldn’t really take long to write this blog post as I could just direct you to the other posts about Beer Kobo brew pubs here and be done with it. These places are not to everyone’s taste, but they definitely serve a…
Tap & Growler
Today another growler filling place but one which encourages on site drinking a bit more than Night Owl. Tap and Growler also has a distinctly bigger selection and has the advantage of being located in Shimokitazawa. Unfortunately, this desirable location is reflected in their pricing, but to be honest, is in keeping with most of…
Gold’n BuB
Heading down to the opening night of Yggdrasil Brewing (blog post to follow soon, I’m giving them a little time to get going before I write anything), I popped into to a couple of places in Chigasaki that I’ve been meaning to visit for a long time (a phrase that is becoming something of a…
Ise Kadoya Beer (Yaesu)
Today a place that I have been quite looking forward to visiting. In my opinion, Ise Kadoya have grown from being a solid if unspectacular brewery to one of Japan’s best in recent years. They are constantly releasing new beers and they rarely disappoint. So I was excited to hear that they were opening a…
