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…
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 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 AS IT IS APPARENTLY MOVING TO SHIMOKITAZAWA. WILL PUT UP A NEW POST ON THAT PLACE WHEN IT HAS OPENED A quick post today to write this place up properly. I’d heard a lot about it and could probably have done a post without visiting from what people have told…
THIS PLACE IS NOW CLOSED I have been meaning to try this place for a while as it seemed like an interesting twist on the usual Craft Beer Market concept. The twist is that there are less taps and it’s more like an Izakaya than a CBM. Going to a concert in Kichijoji gave me…
THIS PLACE IS NOW CLOSED Another Yokohama place and another brewpub. There definitely seem to be a few more of them popping up recently. I heard that the brewer is a past employee of Yokohama Brewery, so take from that what you want. Being a Yakitori place with craft beer, it’s not exactly right up…
Today a post about a fairly new branch for Beer Ma, who up till now have been mainly all about the Kita Senju area of Tokyo, but have now ventured further into the centre. This is great for me, as it feels a lot easier to go to a Kanda bottle shop and bar than…
This place is now closed with Tokyo Old Boys moving to their new location in Hachioji. You can read about that place here. Today, another relatively new brewpub and, as seems to have been the case recently, one which has actually managed to start brewing. Still waiting for the Watering Hole to do so six…
THIS PLACE HAS NOW CLOSED Sorry about the photo… Today a place that I’ve always fancied going to but have been put off by the location and the cost. Fujizakura always seem to make very nice beers and they are a brewery I always head for at Keyaki to try their new seasonals so I…
