Today, a newly opened place in Kamakura, and this time it actually is newly opened, being only a couple of weeks old when I visited. Yorocco Beer Pub Sasame Za is the new taproom for the Yorocco brewery. Until now, if you wanted to drink plenty of Yorocco beers on tap in the same place…
Even though it has been open for quite a while, until now I’ve failed to get to Bay Brewing’s Totsuka branch. This is in part due to the fact that I don’t get to Yokohama particularly often and every time I do, there are so many new places that have opened, and they are a…
I’ve been to Kaiser Chick TWICE, and I’ll certainly be back again. That said, I will not be visiting again when the K-Pop girl group TWICE is playing at the nearby Ajinomoto Stadium. Kaiser Chick is equal parts German beer hall, British pub food restaurant and French patisserie, and a really good place to enjoy…
Caliquors Tokyo West is the sister bar of similarly named Caliquors Tokyo in Kanda, but this time it’s in Chitose Funabashi, about three minutes from the station. I really like the Kanda branch so I was quite pleased to hear that a new branch had opened about the same distance from my place in the…
Today, a place I probably thought I would never make it to. Kawaguchi isn’t very far from Tokyo, but at the same time, it wasn’t really on my list of places to go. From my very limited experience of going there, it seemed like quite a nice place, so more fool me for not putting…
What was once Inabaku has now become Beerdock and the place has undergone quite a transformation. With that in mind I’ve completely rewritten this post but will keep the old Inabaku info at the bottom just for the sake of it. Here’s what you need to know about the new place. I have to say,…
Today we have a moderately new brewery in Kawasaki, not too far from Mizonokuchi station but actually closer to Takatsu. (I was going to say newly opened, but they were celebrating their first anniversary when we visited… Clearly I don’t get to new places as quickly as I used to). I’d heard mixed things about…
Today a place that I was going to save and add to the next digest post, but maybe feels like it deserves a post of its own. There’s not a great deal to say though, so it will be very brief and all condensed into one paragraph. Maybe this is a good way to go…
Today we visit the first iBrew bar outside of Tokyo. Some people have long been calling for an iBrew in Yokohama and their dream has now come true. I visited the bar on the first Saturday it was open as I had a football match in Yokohama later that afternoon. The match was terrible so…
Written by James Craft Beer Toca is a new bar in Kichijoji. It’s only 30 seconds from Inokashira Koen Station but it’s also very walkable from Kichijoji station, especially if you are going to Inokashira Koen. There are two floors. The first floor was stylish with an L-shaped counter but was standing only. The second floor…
