THIS PLACE IS NOW CLOSED 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…
THIS PLACE HAS NOW CLOSED AND THEY HAVE MOVED INTO THEIR OWN SPACE IN KURAMAE. IT’S MENTIONED ON THE DIGEST POST HERE AND HOPEFULLY I’LL PAY A VISIT AND WRITE IT UP SOON Written by James Taproom Pherment is a nice new brewpub with daytime opening which is about four minutes walk from Shinjuku-Gyoenmae or…
Post by James Dig The Line Doors (not sure what the name is supposed to mean), has recently opened in Harajuku. It’s very close to the station, in the basement of the building next to IKEA. As you’d expect from the location it has a trendy, modern vibe. There are six taps and three were…
THIS PLACE IS NOW CLOSED 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…
This place is now closed A quick post today on a fairly newly opened bar in Shinsen, not far from Hiranoya. I was drawn in by the records and beer concept and although the music wasn’t really my style, (actually not at all my style if I’m being honest), I really enjoyed listening to the…
SCOO has now closed. But the person who ran the branch has now started her own place. It’s called Osacu and is in Hatagaya. It seems to be a bit more food focused and only has three taps, but I’ll try to go there and write it up soon. It’s on the map already in…
THIS PLACE HAS NOW CLOSED An afternoon visit to Harajuku for an errand has kickstarted this blog back into real posting action. Perhaps… This is the first of two posts on quite new places in the Harajuku area which both happen to be beer shops with some degree of on site drinking. This seems…
This place has now closed Today, a post on the recently opened Mikkeller Kanda, burger restaurant and beer bar. It’s a bit of an unfortunate time to be opening a new business but Mikkeller seem to be making the best of it with a nice new place with an interesting layout and some…
Today a post about a place I stumbled on completely by accident on a recent trip to Nishiogikubo. I’m not sure if this place is at all well known. I can’t recall ever hearing about it but maybe that’s just me being out of touch. It’s funny, as before I went there I was lamenting…
THIS PLACE IS NOW CLOSED A brief post today on somewhere that has been open for a while but I have only recently got round to visiting. Sadly this is the same old story for me recently. The backlog is now huge again. My inclination to visit new places has collapsed and has coincided with…
