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…
I feel like I’ve mentioned my love of Prost on a few occasions on here so it will come as no surprise that I recently found myself out in Hachioji again. I was slightly surprised to find that there was somewhere on my map of places to go that was extremely near to Prost that…
Finally I’ve made it to Our Days. I feel a bit bad as I am kind of close to it every week when I go to Gremlin, but until now have never made it here. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the experience so it definitely won’t be the last time I visit. It’s located…
As you might have guessed, this was another place I visited on my ongoing quest to have a craft beer in every area of Tokyo. I think prior to going here, the only time I had previously set foot in Ome was when I changed train on the way to Okutama. I probably wouldn’t have…
I’d heard a lot about Kichi before I managed to visit. Lots of people had said it was a nice place with good beer so I made a note to try to visit as soon as possible. As any long term readers will know, as soon as possible when it comes to Tokyo Beer Drinker…
Today, a place that has been on my radar for a little while but which I haven’t had the chance to visit till now. Neko No Shuukaijyo, which I guess is translated as the cats’ meeting place is very close to Umegaoka station on the Odakyu line. I think the last time I was in…
Sunny Hop is a Craft Beer and hotdogs place located in between Higashi Kitazawa and Shimo Kitazawa stations, a little closer to the former but equally not far from the latter. I had not heard of the place at all but stumbled upon it when I walked past. Here’s what you need to know. I…
Today a recently opened place in Machida. I don’t think I’ve ever been drinking in Machida in the 12 years I’ve lived in Japan. In the past there didn’t seem to be any particularly exciting bars in that area, but when I recently decided to head down there I thought I’d just have a check…
Enjoy is a place that I have walked past a few times but had never entered till this visit. I’d always been intrigued by some of the things on their taplist, (which they post outside, an excellent idea, I think!), and the look of some of the bottles in their fridge. This time I was…
Today a quick post about what I was surprised to find out seems to be a new iteration of a well known and possibly not particularly loved old chain. Sake-ya Kitami is a really swish looking place under the Odakyu line tracks near Kitami station. Here’s the big reveal – it’s a branch of the…
