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…

Craft Beer & Whisky Bar Transit (Now closed)
NOW APPARENTLY CLOSED, BUT IT’S ALL A BIT MYSTERIOUS Another one in the Hatanodai area today, and somewhere that it makes sense to visit at the same time as Izuya if you are coming from elsewhere. Transit is a blessing for those of us that want to drink in the afternoon, as it opens from…
The Hangover
THIS PLACE HAS NOW CLOSED DOWN Today, a new bar located in Nakano. The Hangover has only been open just over a month and feels a bit different from some of the other places on this blog. Recently Ji-Biru places seem to have got a lot fancier. There are now a lot of places where…

Taplist seems to be posted on their facebook sometimes. The link is below. Now there’s a small…
Brimmer Beer Box (Now Closed)
Now Closed. Not much to say about this place that isn’t said in the name. Newly opened central Tokyo outlet for the Brimmer brewery (based in Kawasaki). Brimmer Beer Box serves Brimmer beer, and is effectively a box (well, a portakabin) on Aoyama Dori between Omotesando and Gaienmae stations. It is slightly incongruous in its…
