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…

Beer Pub Bamboo (NOW CLOSED)
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,…
Bruxellensis Cafe (NOW CLOSED)
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…
Craft Beer Market Awajicho (NOW CLOSED)
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…
Ushiku Chateau (was Chateau Kamiya) NOW CLOSED
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…
Omohara Beer Forest (SUMMER 2013 ONLY)
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…
Hops 125 (NOW CLOSED)
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…
Craft Hands (NOW CLOSED)
THIS PLACE IS NOW CLOSED. THIS BLOG’S SECOND COVID VICTIM Not to be confused with Craftheads, Craft Hands is a craft beer and wine bar in swanky Azabujuban. This is an area of Tokyo that I have never been to before, and to be honest I still haven’t seen much of it, as the bar…
Le Collier (NOW CLOSED)
APPARENTLY THIS SHOP HAS EITHER CLOSED DOWN OR GOT RID OF ALL THE BEERS (EITHER WAY, I GUESS IT’S NOT OF INTEREST ANYMORE), SO IT HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM THE MAP. Another shop today, but there is a bit of a twist, or some might say a hitch with this one. Le Collier is a…
Kura Kura Ji-Beer House (NOW CLOSED)
ANOTHER PLACE THAT HAS NOW CLOSED. SORRY! Sorry, another terrible photo! Today another Kanda area entry. There really are a lot of good places to visit round there at the moment. Kura Kura is a place I have been to a few times and it always seems to be pretty busy, so they must be…
