If you’ve ever been to a Devil Craft bar, you’ll probably only be skimming this post to find out what’s different about their Jiyugaoka branch. Or probably more likely you’ll have already been here as this place has been open a while and I’ve only just got round to visiting. Given that their first three…
Post by James MOTS BEER PARTY is a bar I’ve seen on a few Japanese friends’ SNS so I decided to check it out.The bar is basically a renovated Minka (residence) and it is quite small. There were four counter seats and several stools which I think could be used if more customers come. There…
A quick post today on a kaku-uchi (booze shop where you can drink), that has been open a couple of years. There are now loads of places to drink in and around Kanda. Perhaps some might be put off by the swarms of salarymen which fill the area on weekdays, but plenty of these places…
Post by James Distant Shores Brewing has been around for a few years and their beers can be found in bars all over Tokyo.Their tasting room in Higashi Murayama is only open on Sundays (although I would advise checking their Instagram first). I said tasting room but it’s basically a few tables and chairs placed…
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…
Today we are getting off the train at a previously unvisited station. Well, actually I walked there, so not really. And of course I can’t speak for my readers’ Tokyo station visiting past so maybe it’s wrong on that account too. If you don’t live in, or haven’t visited the area before, Ikejiri Ohashi is…
