This place seems to have moved. The new address and links are the ones below, but the picture and details are for the previous place. I’m guessing the basics are at least similar A brief post today to get me back in the mood for adding to this blog as it has been tough to…
A relatively short post today, as there is not much to be said about this place that has not been mentioned in previous posts. Nakano Beer Kobo is the latest in what is now becoming a big chain of Chuo line brewpubs. First we had Koenji, then heading West, Asagaya, then Ogikubo (all mentioned so…
Another week, another new Craft Beer Market. An exaggeration of course, but it does seem like they are expanding fast. This time the location is slightly different; the fancy new shopping centre Coredo 3 in Mitsukoshimae. This post will be pretty short, as the concept is the same in all of the CBM bars. I…
Today, the interestingly named Craft Beer Server Land. I have passed through Iidabashi quite a few times but have never got off here, so I was in uncharted territory. From looking at the review on Craft Beer Tokyo there was one thing that immediately jumped out at me. The prices and sizes are exactly the…
Today, a place that probably should have been on here already by now. No trip to Yokohama would be complete without finishing off the day with a quick pint or two or three at Thrash Zone near Yokohama station. My excuse for not writing about it yet is due to my inability to take a…
Today, the latest in a chain of Chuo line ‘lots of wood’ brewpubs. It is fair to say they are quite a lot of similarities between this place, Bakushu Kobo in Koenji and Bakushu Dojo in Asagaya. My limited knowledge of the history of these places amounts to the fact that Koenji was first and…
Today, somewhere I have been a few times but always forgot to take a photo. My new tactic should be take the photos on the way in. That way they may be less blurred and I hopefully won’t forget to do it. However, when you are thirsty, this doesn’t always seem like a priority. This…
Lambic is not really in Tokyo so I am cheating a bit. But then again, I never said this would be exclusively Tokyo, and I think I have broken the Tokyo only thing a few times already. Lambic is the brewery tap for the Atsugi brewery, located in, surprise surprise, Atsugi. So, not in Tokyo,…
Something a little bit different. Shinshu Sake Mura is a standing bar near to Shimbashi station with ultra low prices. The reason for this is that this place is mainly designed to promote the sake and beer breweries of Nagano prefecture. This is fundamentally a shop, but with a recently expanded standing bar area allowing…
Another place that has opened during the recent explosion of good beer places in Tokyo. iBrew’s big selling point is their very low prices. However, that’s not the only reason to go there. The food is pretty good too, a mix of Japanese and international stuff, and once again at good prices. It’s a very…
