(This is part two of my Nagoya posts. Here are parts one and three) Our second stop and one of the three places in Nagoya that are owned by the company that runs Y. Market (the other two being Grillman and naturally, the Y. Market taproom). Keg is a lot smaller than Y. Market, with…
(This is part one of my Nagoya posts. Here are parts two and three. These were originally one post, hence there being a kind of introduction on this one and a conclusion on the third one) I wasn’t going to post about my recent trip to Nagoya, but I was encouraged to do so. This…
Another short post, this time on a small bar in Ogikubo tucked away down an alley, with not so many taps, but a nice feel to it. – 5 taps of Japanese craft beer, served in three sizes, small (200ml), medium (280ml) and large (430ml). All beers are priced the same, from small to large,…
Today, a place a bit out of Tokyo and not open so often. So far, so inconvenient (for me anyway). However, Beach Muffin could be my dream come true in a few ways. I had been meaning to go here for a while but hadn’t quite managed it. Beach Muffin is the tap room for…
Today, Miyata Beer, a fairly new brewpub based in Oshiage. It’s good to see that we are getting new breweries and brewpubs rather than just new pubs as there were so many new places opening that I was worrying that we were going to run out of beer.Miyata Beer seems to be very much…
Firstly, apologies again for the terrible photo. Once again, I did it in a bit of a hurry on the way out. Today, another English themed pub, although once again, like Campion, the theme is only part of the whole, rather than being the reason for the place’s existence. It’s a bit out of the…
Today, a place that once again has something fairly unique to offer. I have no problem at all with there being lots of new and fairly similar bars around now. The more choice the better. But Kaeru Cafe is a bit different and because of this, I feel it’s worthy of a mention on here….
(This post was originally three beer shops in one day so to fully appreciate what’s going on, check the other two posts on Deguchiya and Night Owl) Hiranoya has undergone an upgrade! There are still plenty of bottles and cans to enjoy but there are now three taps. Also they have moved into the larger…
(This post was originally three beer shops in one day so to fully appreciate what’s going on, check the other two posts on Night Owl and Hiranoya) Onwards to Nakameguro and a little way north of the station along Yamatedori. Deguchiya is much bigger premises than Night Owl and has a huge stock of all…
(This post was originally three beer shops in one day so to fully appreciate what’s going on, check the other two posts on Deguchiya and Hiranoya) I was under the impression that this was a bar and beer shop, but after talking to the owner, it seems that the idea is more that you try…
