I don’t know how likely it is that you will find yourself in Satsukidai, one stop west of Shin Yurigaoka on the Karakida branch of the Odakyu line. But in the event that you do, it’s worth pointing out that there is now a brewpub there for you to visit. Pecora opened last year, (I…
My second stop on my mini Tachikawa taprooms tour was the new Vertere taproom, situated just round the corner from the original Sakamichi brewery and taproom. I don’t know what’s happening with Vertere but they seem to be expanding quickly at the moment. Hot on the heels of their Eifuku taproom, we now have a…
I’m not sure if I’m just really slow on the uptake recently but Tachihi Brewery seemed to come out of nowhere for me. I guess I’m not going to beer festivals as much as I used to, and at the same time am perhaps not paying as much attention to the beer scene as you’d…
This is something of a rarity. I’ve been quite quick off the mark when it comes to visiting and writing about this place. Well, if you count within six months of opening as quite quick off the mark. But writing this has made me aware of the fact that Vertere are opening a new taproom…
Buso Brewery is a fairly recently opened brewpub situated right next to the Odakyu line station in Machida. The brewery also seems to go under the name of Kawasemi Brew. Perhaps Kawasemi will be opening other brew pubs in the future. Further muddying the water is the fact that in their Instagram bio it says…
On a recent trip to Hachioji I realised that I was quite close to somewhere that has been on my ‘to go to’ list for a long time. I was always curious about the name of this place and recently when I heard some good things about it, I decided that I should finally give…
Tsumugi, or if you want to translate its full name into English, Craft beer shop Tsumugi on the second floor, is a Japanese craft beer bar not far from Minami Kashiwa station. It’s not the easiest to find but if you follow the map and look at the picture above and go up the stairs…
Today a brief post about a new place out in West Tokyo in Inagi, which I discovered as part of my ongoing and slightly pointless challenge to have a craft beer in every part of Tokyo. Last year there was nothing in Inagi when it came to craft beer other than Yomiuri Land’s Tap Marche…
Takao Brewing have recently opened a new taproom that is a bit easier to get to than their previous location. I have long been interested in visiting them as you don’t really see their beers around much, (at least not where I am looking, I guess). So the fact that their new place is very…
As you might have guessed, this was another place I visited on my ongoing quest to have a craft beer in every area of Tokyo. I think prior to going here, the only time I had previously set foot in Ome was when I changed train on the way to Okutama. I probably wouldn’t have…
