Just as I posted the two Kanazawa places that Rich kindly visited and wrote about for me, I have received a email from my friend Nevitt, a beer blogger in Kansai with some information about the elusive Craft Beer Dive Futa’s. So, here we go, a complete Kanazawa set for you. Click these links for…

Kanazawa round up part 1: Abri Ramen & Bar
Today, the first of two posts on Kanazawa by a new blog helper. Please click here for part 2. Thank you very much to Rich for offering to lend a hand and write about some places in Kanazawa. It will be obvious it’s a guest post as the photos are very nice unlike my usual…
Beer Ma
PLEASE NOTE: THEY ARE NOW CLOSED ON THURSDAYS. HOURS UPDATED BELOW This is the new bar from the people who were running World Beer Market on the other side of Kita Senju station. That shop has now closed and they have opened Beer Ma, a bar and bottle shop on the west side of the…
Hitachino Brewing Lab Tokyo Station
So, Hitachino Nest/Kiuchi have opened another Tokyo bar. I am a bit of a fan of their first location in Ochanomizu/Akihabara. It’s pleasant to sit outside there next to the river and enjoy a daytime beer. The new place is a bit smaller, but the idea is the same, so it might be worth checking…
Nihonbashi Brewery
A quick post on another new ‘brewery’ in Tokyo. Like many of the breweries that have recently opened (Goto Jozo, Pacific NW (post to follow when I actually manage to go there), and the over four years open Watering Hole who seem to be concentrating more on prising money away from people than starting brewing),…
Anchor Point
A quick post on a new brewpub, or more accurately a huge fancy restaurant that makes its own beers. Anchor Point has really appeared out of nowhere and I hadn’t heard of it till a friend mentioned it. There’s clearly some big money behind it as the place is snazzy and massive but they are…
Good Town Bakehouse
A quick post on somewhere that is mainly on here just because it’s in my neighbourhood. I have been going through varying levels of snobbiness/fussiness for what should be on here and what shouldn’t recently. Certainly, it’s a positive thing that we can now be fussy about craft beer places. When I moved here five…
Highbury – The Home Of Beer
Today a pub which, if it was in London would be a very divisive place, but perhaps doesn’t have the same effect in Japan. Highbury, as you may have guessed, is a British style beer pub with a big Arsenal influence. Although there is definitely still something here for you if you have no interest…
Beer Cafe Vertere
I have been looking forward to visiting Vertere for a while, mainly because of their unique location in the mountains, two hours out of Tokyo, but actually still in Tokyo. I actually didn’t realise until fairly recently that they had now started making their own beer and this, along with a nice Silver Week holiday…
CraftBeer Cafe & Bar Synchronicity
[THIS BAR HAS MOVED, SO I’VE REMOVED THE PICTURE UNTIL I CAN TAKE A NEW ONE AND HAVE CHANGED THE ADDRESS AND MAPS. I’M GUESSING THE REST OF THE DETAILS ARE PRETTY MUCH THE SAME, BUT SORRY IF THEY’RE NOT] I visited Synchronicity ages ago, back in the Spring and was intending to pop in…
