Today we’re in a new neighbourhood for Tokyo Beer Drinker and we’re at another shopping centre food court beer bar. I always say that the thought of this in the UK where I’m from wouldn’t inspire a great deal of confidence, but the truth is food courts are a much more pleasant experience in Japan…
It’s been quite a busy year for Tokyo Beer Drinker so far. There is almost a feeling that we’re ticking off places so quickly that we might be able to catch up with the backlog. But then again, I’m going to places that I find interesting, and there are a lot of places that don’t…
Post by Mothy From the outside Nutori looks like any number of old izakayas that one can find in a city like Kawaguchi, or really any city in Japan. The inside as well doesn’t really stand out. Seats made of old crates are set up at a few tables, and there’s a small counter space….
Today another interestingly named place. With the Craft Beer Scissors bars, the name hinted at the business owner’s profession. I hope that is not the case with Beer Bomb. I also hope for their sake that the company that makes Tabasco doesn’t notice them borrowing and amending their logo slightly. I have to say though,…
You wait months for a Beer Scissors post to come along and then suddenly two turn up, one right after the other. The 2nd Story tap takeover was split over the two branches of Scissors and after a fun time at the Ikejiri branch we decided we should probably hoover up the other five taps…
Tokaido Beer opened maybe a couple of years ago not far from Kawasaki station. I’ve had their beers a few times at festivals and also got hold of the special beer they made for local football team Kawasaki Frontale. Normally their beers tend to be quite herbal and spicy and somewhat in a Belgian style….
Matsuri Brewing is a fairly new brewery which has opened just the other side of the river from Tokyo in Urayasu in Chiba. As is often the case, the bar is open before the actual brewery is ready, although in this case they are at least making their own beers already as collaborations with other…
After visiting Ben’s Slop Shop (BSS), I moved on to the equally interestingly named P2B Haus. Plenty to consider in that name. If the previously mentioned BSS is a great place to pop in for a beer or two whilst shopping, P2B is probably somewhere you’d want to spend a bit more time and have…
It’s been a while since I went to any new places so I thought I’d take a trip to Kichijoji, go to some record shops and cross a couple of beer places off the list. Today’s post is on a place that is unsurprisingly pretty similar to a place I’ve already posted about on here….
A recent football game in Yokohama gave me the opportunity to pop in to a new place for me. I have so many places on my backlog in Yokohama that I could have chosen many options, but I always like to prioritise brewpubs and breweries over pubs so I plumped for the enjoyably named Ergo…
