(This place has moved since this post was written. I have updated the map and the address below, but the post is about the old location. So take everything written here with a pinch of salt. If I make it to the new place, I’ll update it. I think the new location is the place…

Va Bene Shimokitazawa (& Kichijoji)
[Pretty much as soon as I decided to split all the posts that I had previously grouped by area, I’ve now decided to group two places together. The reason for this is that I don’t think the Va Bene in Kichijoji is worthy of mentioning in its own right, but thought I’d add the info…
Ushi Tora (new location)
Ushi Tora has moved. The old standing bar is still there (check here for a post on that place), but their main bar has now crossed the tracks to the area north of where the Odakyu and Inokashira lines meet. I have a bit of a troubled relationship with Ushi Tora. I’ve had some bad…
Small World Records & Cafe
Today a brief post on another record shop with nice beer. Small World is located halfway between Pigalle and Awashima Soko. It’s a small place and very much a labour of love. What you can see in the picture above is pretty much all of it. They sell records of an experimental nature and serve…

Beer Ma
PLEASE NOTE: THEY ARE NOW CLOSED ON THURSDAYS. HOURS UPDATED BELOW This is the new bar from the people who were running World Beer Market on the other side of Kita Senju station. That shop has now closed and they have opened Beer Ma, a bar and bottle shop on the west side of the…
Hitachino Brewing Lab Tokyo Station
So, Hitachino Nest/Kiuchi have opened another Tokyo bar. I am a bit of a fan of their first location in Ochanomizu/Akihabara. It’s pleasant to sit outside there next to the river and enjoy a daytime beer. The new place is a bit smaller, but the idea is the same, so it might be worth checking…
Goto Jozo
(SEE THE COMMENTS BELOW FOR UP TO DATE INFO) Today, another quick post, this time on a new brewpub, although strictly speaking, you can’t really call it that at the moment as they have yet to start brewing on site. Goto Jozo is a small standing bar tucked away in a side street near Kyodo…
