The third and final stop on my brief Tachikawa brewery crawl was a bit of a surprise. After visiting Tachihi and then going to Vertere, I was doing a bit of preparation for my planned next stop at Sakamichi when I visited their website and discovered the existence of a mysterious new(ish) place called Sakamichi…

Vertere Tachikawa Taproom
My second stop on my mini Tachikawa taprooms tour was the new Vertere taproom, situated just round the corner from the original Sakamichi brewery and taproom. I don’t know what’s happening with Vertere but they seem to be expanding quickly at the moment. Hot on the heels of their Eifuku taproom, we now have a…
Tachihi Brewery
I’m not sure if I’m just really slow on the uptake recently but Tachihi Brewery seemed to come out of nowhere for me. I guess I’m not going to beer festivals as much as I used to, and at the same time am perhaps not paying as much attention to the beer scene as you’d…
Vertere Eifuku Taproom
This is something of a rarity. I’ve been quite quick off the mark when it comes to visiting and writing about this place. Well, if you count within six months of opening as quite quick off the mark. But writing this has made me aware of the fact that Vertere are opening a new taproom…
Buzzed Lamb Brewing
This place recently appeared on my radar when a friend of mine checked in to one of their beers on Untappd. The name was kind of intriguing but until now I hadn’t managed to visit. It’s been open a little while, (almost a year), but I suppose in the usual glacial Tokyo Beer Drinker scheme…
Buso Brewery – Machida-Eki Mae
Buso Brewery is a fairly recently opened brewpub situated right next to the Odakyu line station in Machida. The brewery also seems to go under the name of Kawasemi Brew. Perhaps Kawasemi will be opening other brew pubs in the future. Further muddying the water is the fact that in their Instagram bio it says…
Beer Pub Neko To Azarashi
Today, a reasonably new place in Mitaka not far from Beer Shop Llama, but offering a different kind of experience. The interestingly named Neko To Azarashi, (Cat and Seal, if you want to translate it), offers Japanese craft beer and food in a bright and airy atmosphere. Here’s what you need to know: This was…
Tsumugi
Tsumugi, or if you want to translate its full name into English, Craft beer shop Tsumugi on the second floor, is a Japanese craft beer bar not far from Minami Kashiwa station. It’s not the easiest to find but if you follow the map and look at the picture above and go up the stairs…
Entrance To Beer NOVICE
Post by Mothy I was happy to discover a new beer bar in Kawagoe that opened in August. I’ve been working in the city for about 10 years now, and the pickings have been slim in terms of getting a craft beer, so as soon as I heard about the place I rushed over after…
Takao Beer Taproom
Takao Brewing have recently opened a new taproom that is a bit easier to get to than their previous location. I have long been interested in visiting them as you don’t really see their beers around much, (at least not where I am looking, I guess). So the fact that their new place is very…
