Stop number four on my Chuo line pub crawl and there was something of a feeling that I was building towards the highlight of the day. I’m pleased to say that Sakamichi didn’t let me down and was a really nice place to have some really nice beers. I’m getting old and I’m perpetually skint,…
Today, a newly opened place in Kamakura, and this time it actually is newly opened, being only a couple of weeks old when I visited. Yorocco Beer Pub Sasame Za is the new taproom for the Yorocco brewery. Until now, if you wanted to drink plenty of Yorocco beers on tap in the same place…
It’s taken me a while but I’ve finally made it to the new Mikkeller bar, just over the other side of the Yamanote line from the Dogenzaka branch. Distance wise, it’s not at all far, but when you compare the two neighbourhoods it feels like it could be a lot further. Mikkeller Kiosk/Bar is on…
If you’ve ever been to a Devil Craft bar, you’ll probably only be skimming this post to find out what’s different about their Jiyugaoka branch. Or probably more likely you’ll have already been here as this place has been open a while and I’ve only just got round to visiting. Given that their first three…
You wait months for a Beer Scissors post to come along and then suddenly two turn up, one right after the other. The 2nd Story tap takeover was split over the two branches of Scissors and after a fun time at the Ikejiri branch we decided we should probably hoover up the other five taps…
Tokaido Beer opened maybe a couple of years ago not far from Kawasaki station. I’ve had their beers a few times at festivals and also got hold of the special beer they made for local football team Kawasaki Frontale. Normally their beers tend to be quite herbal and spicy and somewhat in a Belgian style….
Finally a proper blog post on here after loads of digest posts! Ermmmm, maybe not. This is a Craft Beer Market so it’s not exactly exciting new information. Please check out the other posts of Craft Beer Markets here to get an idea of what to expect if you’ve never been to one before. To…
Tap and Crowler is the sister shop of Shimokitazawa’s Tap and Growler. Can you guess what the difference is? It is tucked away in the side streets near Tokyu Hands in Shibuya but this didn’t seem to prevent plenty of people being there when we visited. We went as part of the Shibuya Beer Party…
Today, another standing bar, this time run by a beer importer based here in Tokyo. Inn Beers run the Warrior Celt in Ueno and import British stuff. You may have recently noticed that there are suddenly a lot more hyped UK breweries’ beers available in Japan and this company is the reason behind this. Although…
Today, a post on the recently opened Mikkeller Kanda, burger restaurant and beer bar. It’s a bit of an unfortunate time to be opening a new business but Mikkeller seem to be making the best of it with a nice new place with an interesting layout and some very nice burgers. Well to be honest,…
