This place recently appeared on my radar when a friend of mine checked in to one of their beers on Untappd. The name was kind of intriguing but until now I hadn’t managed to visit. It’s been open a little while, (almost a year), but I suppose in the usual glacial Tokyo Beer Drinker scheme…

Buso Brewery – Machida-Eki Mae
Buso Brewery is a fairly recently opened brewpub situated right next to the Odakyu line station in Machida. The brewery also seems to go under the name of Kawasemi Brew. Perhaps Kawasemi will be opening other brew pubs in the future. Further muddying the water is the fact that in their Instagram bio it says…
Beer Pub Neko To Azarashi
Today, a reasonably new place in Mitaka not far from Beer Shop Llama, but offering a different kind of experience. The interestingly named Neko To Azarashi, (Cat and Seal, if you want to translate it), offers Japanese craft beer and food in a bright and airy atmosphere. Here’s what you need to know: This was…
Shared Brewery
On a recent trip to Hachioji I realised that I was quite close to somewhere that has been on my ‘to go to’ list for a long time. I was always curious about the name of this place and recently when I heard some good things about it, I decided that I should finally give…
Hoppee
Today a brief post about a new place out in West Tokyo in Inagi, which I discovered as part of my ongoing and slightly pointless challenge to have a craft beer in every part of Tokyo. Last year there was nothing in Inagi when it came to craft beer other than Yomiuri Land’s Tap Marche…
Takao Beer Taproom
Takao Brewing have recently opened a new taproom that is a bit easier to get to than their previous location. I have long been interested in visiting them as you don’t really see their beers around much, (at least not where I am looking, I guess). So the fact that their new place is very…
Bubble / Oldboys Brewing
I feel like I’ve mentioned my love of Prost on a few occasions on here so it will come as no surprise that I recently found myself out in Hachioji again. I was slightly surprised to find that there was somewhere on my map of places to go that was extremely near to Prost that…
Ome Bakushu
As you might have guessed, this was another place I visited on my ongoing quest to have a craft beer in every area of Tokyo. I think prior to going here, the only time I had previously set foot in Ome was when I changed train on the way to Okutama. I probably wouldn’t have…
Vertere Bottle Shop
This is an even shorter post than the usual short posts. Basically, Vertere now have a bottle shop (or should it really be called a can shop?), right opposite the train station. If you are going to the taproom it’s almost impossible to miss, so perhaps this post is kind of pointless. But I thought…
Kichi Brewing
I’d heard a lot about Kichi before I managed to visit. Lots of people had said it was a nice place with good beer so I made a note to try to visit as soon as possible. As any long term readers will know, as soon as possible when it comes to Tokyo Beer Drinker…
