Today a quick post on somewhere that I’ve been before but didn’t put on here for some reason. Since then, they seem to have rebranded from Pivovar to Umaya, maybe suggesting that the focus is now the food rather than the beer (just a guess). Yokohama Brewery has been something of a mainstay in the…
A couple of stops down the train line from Fujisawa is a place that I have been looking forward to trying for a long while. Hopman is the sister bar of Ushitora (but don’t let that put you off…) as the people who opened it used to work at the Shimokitazawa home of bad service…
I recently made the trip out of Tokyo to Shonan (football again) and once again took the chance to visit a few beer places that I have been meaning to put on here for ages. Firstly, it’s Mokichi Craft Beer, the beer restaurant of the Shonan brewery in Fujisawa. I went here once before, quite…
(THIS PLACE HAS MOVED AGAIN. GIVEN THAT IT’S A TRAILER, IT WILL PROBABLY BE PRETTY MUCH THE SAME, SO JUST IGNORE THE BITS AROUND THE EDGE OF THE PICTURE AND THE BITS THAT TALK ABOUT THE PREVIOUS LOCATIONS AND JUST FOLLOW THE MAP) A few months ago a slightly bizarre video started appearing on Facebook…
(This post was originally on three different places. They have now been split into individual posts. Click the links for part 1 and part 2) An Irish bar in Japan that serves Baird beer. Not sure what the Irish part is, apart from the name actually. This is pretty much a Baird taproom with the…
(This post was originally on three different places. They have now been split into individual posts. Click the links for part 2 and part 3) Another post about a city mainly centred around a football away day. Hopefully, I will be able to get back to dealing with some of my Tokyo backlog soon. But…
I’ve finally made it to the new Amber Rondo! I’ve left the parts about the old bar below for you to refer to if you are interested. It’s moved closer to Sendai station, now about 10-15 minutes walk from the Shinkansen platform if you move quickly. The beer things are pretty much the same although…
(This was originally one post rounding up Sendai, but now it has been split into separate entries. The other places are mentioned in part 1 and part 3) [To see all the Sendai posts on this blog, click here] UPDATE: The old Craft Beer Market in Sendai has closed… but as you can…
(This was originally one post rounding up Sendai, but now it has been split into separate entries. The other places are mentioned in part 2 and part 3) [To see all the Sendai posts on this blog, click here] Another trip out of Tokyo for football, and once again I thought it was worth mentioning…
[Apparently, they now allow smoking inside, so another reason for some not to go here] Seems that Craftsman is becoming a fast growing chain recently. They have fairly recently opened new bar/restaurants in Kichijoji and Yokohama. There will be a post on the Kichijoji branch fairly soon, but as I was in Yokohama for football,…
