A quick post about this brewery in Nishikunitachi. It’s been around quite a long time, but given that it’s in a location that I don’t often visit and that I’d tried both of their beers before, it wasn’t high on my list of priorities. However, last weekend the chance arose and I popped in. –…
(This place has now closed down, but may reopen somewhere else, at some stage. Watch this space, I guess) The Vault is pretty near Hops & Herbs (from here on referred to as H&H) and if you are if Kofu, it makes sense to pop in here too I reckon. It is also part of…
Post by James If the name doesn’t give you enough of a clue, the photo probably will. This is a quirky but nice place. It has very much an American theme and as well as the Statue of Liberty outside there is a lot of Marvel and other American character paraphernalia and a couple of…
THIS PLACE IS NOW CLOSED Post by James Smith is a modern restaurant/bar. I went at lunch time and was given a lunch menu but no beer menu. The other customers were mainly ladies taking a break from shopping and a few couples. The only other customer on their own was a woman knitting (can’t say…
NOW CLOSED IT SEEMS A quick post on a cafe in an area that is pretty empty on the tokyobeedrinker map at the moment. I was not aware of this place till Davido told me about it. Thanks a lot Davido for the many tips for new places you have given me. A short post…

THIS PLACE IS NOW CLOSED (This was initially part of a larger post combining three places in Kichijoji. There are now split into individual entries. Here are part 1 and part 2) – Fancy new place attached to what I think is a bakery about 10 minutes walk away from the hustle and bustle near…
(This was initially part of a larger post combining three places in Kichijoji. There are now split into individual entries. Here are part 1 and part 3) – Fairly big place for a Japanese beer bar. Counter for around ten and seats for maybe 35. Feels pretty spacious too and has quite a comfortable ambience…
THIS PLACE IS NOW CLOSED This post used to be a joint post with another Craft Beer Market. Check the other one out here if you are interested. The points that both have in common appear in both posts. Today, part one on two fairly new Craft Beer Markets (click here for all of the…
THIS PLACE IS NOW CLOSED, PERHAPS THE FIRST BAR VICTIM OF CORONAVIRUS… Quick post on a new branch of iBrew, very close to the original iBrew. I’m pleased to see that they are branching out again after what happened to the iBrew in Shinbashi which turned into an oyster bar and therefore became pretty redundant…
