THIS BAR HAS NOW CLOSED (Finally have managed to put a photo on this post, but unfortunately, it’s a photo of the place whilst closed. Probably good enough to get the idea though!) Back to Yokohama for this brief post, once again vaguely close to Kannai and with that a few bars I have mentioned…
[This place has now moved. Please click here for the listing of the new location. The standing bar, Ushi Tora 2 is still in the original location though.] It’s taken me almost two years to get back here, which is pretty bad considering that it is fairly close to where I live. Finally, I am…
NOW CLOSED THIS PLACE, ONCE HACHI, IS NOW CUT LET ME. FROM THE PHOTOS ON THE INTERNET, IT LOOKS LIKE ONLY THE FOOD CONCEPT HAS CHANGED, BUT TAKE ALL OF THE INFORMATION BELOW WITH A GRAIN OF SALT AS IT COULD BE TOTALLY WRONG NOW. I’VE UPDATED THE OPENING HOURS AND OF COURSE THE PICTURE…
THIS BAR IS NOW CLOSED. I HAVE LEFT THE POST HERE FOR REFERENCE PURPOSES, BUT DON’T TRY TO GO THERE! IT’S SHUT. Today, one of the first craft beer places I went to in Tokyo after I arrived here, but somewhere I haven’t managed to get back to since then. A couple of weeks after…
UNFORTUNATELY, THIS PLACE HAS NOW CLOSED Today Bamboo, in a rarely visited (at least for me) area of Shinjuku. Bamboo has been on my list of places to go for a while, but I have only just managed to get there. Bamboo doesn’t have the biggest selection in Tokyo, but what it lacks in variety,…
THIS BAR IS NOW CLOSED. I HAVE LEFT THE POST HERE FOR REFERENCE PURPOSES, BUT DON’T TRY TO GO THERE! IT’S SHUT. This was supposed to be the first of a new set of posts, intended for places that don’t have a massive beer selection, or don’t really have so many Japanese beers, but are…
THIS PLACE IS NOW CLOSED BUT THERE ARE STILL PLENTY OF OTHER CRAFT BEER MARKETS. YOU CAN SEE THEM BY CLICKING THE CRAFT BEER MARKET TAG OR BY CLICKING THE LINK IN THE THIRD LINE OF THE THIS POST Today, what should be a relatively short post. On Thursday, Craft Beer Market opened their third…
THIS PLACE IS NOW CLOSED Another trip out of Tokyo today, and probably a badly timed blog post for reasons I will explain below. Chateau Kamiya in Ushiku, about 50 minutes from Ueno into Ibaraki is a brewery, winery, fake chateau and gardens complex that produces some very easy drinking beers and sells them at…
THIS WAS A ONE SUMMER ONLY THING, SO PLEASE DON’T TRY TO GO THERE NOW. I’LL UPDATE IF THERE IS ANYTHING INTERESTING THERE THIS YEAR. A quick post on what is one of the first craft beer beer gardens that I have seen. As you may be aware, Summer is the season for drinking beer…
THIS PLACE HAS NOW CLOSED (Prices update, October 2014: Thanks to Tim M. for alerting me to the change in prices. It seems that the beer selection has shifted away from Japanese stuff and more towards imports. The prices consequently seem to have increased considerably. Beers are now individually priced, which makes sense when you…
