Today it’s Okei Brewing, the first craft beer brewpub in Arakawa-ku! But they don’t quite seem to be up and brewing yet as none of their beers were on tap. When we visited though, there was someone hanging around in the brewery and it looked like things were in place so maybe that’s starting soon….

Kameido Beer
In my ongoing quest to complete a new year’s resolution that I set myself for 2021 but failed to complete due to the ongoing pandemic, and then restarted at the beginning of this year, I have been venturing to some places a bit of my usual beaten track. Tokyo is a huge city and it’s…
Nutori
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….
Tokaido Beer Kawasaki
Tokaido Beer opened maybe a couple of years ago not far from Kawasaki station. I’ve had their beers a few times at festivals and also got hold of the special beer they made for local football team Kawasaki Frontale. Normally their beers tend to be quite herbal and spicy and somewhat in a Belgian style….
Matsuri Brewing
Matsuri Brewing is a fairly new brewery which has opened just the other side of the river from Tokyo in Urayasu in Chiba. As is often the case, the bar is open before the actual brewery is ready, although in this case they are at least making their own beers already as collaborations with other…
Brewpub Ergo Bibamus
A recent football game in Yokohama gave me the opportunity to pop in to a new place for me. I have so many places on my backlog in Yokohama that I could have chosen many options, but I always like to prioritise brewpubs and breweries over pubs so I plumped for the enjoyably named Ergo…
Songbird Beer
A quick post today on a brewery that can be visited at certain limited times. So far, so tricky. Also, it’s not easy to get to! But it was a lot of fun so I thought it merited a mention on here. Given the limitations when it comes to opening times and accessibility I’m not…
Cranc Beer
Today a little post on a brewery that I managed to go to on the second time of asking. Cranc is out in Itabashi, not too far away from Tokyo Aleworks. They are quite different places though in most aspects. As I probably said in the Tokyo Aleworks post on here, Itabashi is really not…
Revo Brewing
Today, a place I was slightly conflicted about visiting. Actually slightly is an understatement. Revo is a new brewery at the bottom of what I think is a big new APA hotel in Yokohama. If you don’t know about APA hotels, well… maybe it’s best that you should do your own research and make up…
Folkways Brewing
Today, a relatively new brewery out in east Tokyo that was surprisingly popular when we visited shortly after opening on a Saturday afternoon. Folkways Brewing is out in Koto-ku near Kiyosumishirakawa station in a pretty unassuming building next to what looks like a parking area for buses. I know next to nothing about it, so…
