Cidernaut is a relatively new bar near the heart of Shibuya, but is probably still slightly under the radar due to opening just before Coronavirus hit. It’s been a bad time for pretty much everyone I guess, but you’ve got to feel for people who started new hospitality related businesses this year. In spite of…

Tokyo Aleworks Taproom
Quick update: They now have accommodation above the bar. Something like a hotel. And there’s a plan to get beer connected up to your room so soon you will be able to drink yourself to sleep perhaps without having to leave your bed! Couldn’t find any info about it on their website, but was told…
Antenna America Yokohama Station
The first of a quick flurry of Yokohama places today. It would be nice to say that this is a sign that I’ll be updating the blog a lot more in the future, but I suspect that posts will still come in little bursts like this. It has now go to the stage that places…
Beer Ma Kanda
Today a post about a fairly new branch for Beer Ma, who up till now have been mainly all about the Kita Senju area of Tokyo, but have now ventured further into the centre. This is great for me, as it feels a lot easier to go to a Kanda bottle shop and bar than…
Beer Cellar Tokyo
Beer Cellar Tokyo is a fairly recently opened, bar, bottle shop and soon to be brewery located in Komae in west Tokyo, not too far from Komae or Kitami stations on the Odakyu line. There seems to be a connection with Beer Cellar Sapporo, at least nominally and thematically. The big difference is that it…
Craft Beer Bar iBrew Shinbashi Ekimae
In the interests of keeping this brief as I am still officially on hiatus (but posting for some reason…) I will direct you to my other posts on the other iBrew bars here. In all of these places the concept is pretty similar, cheap beer with some gems and a few more fillers, bit like…
Craft Beer Market Kanda
There are now so many Craft Beer Markets around that I’m running out of ways to start these blog posts referring to how they are pretty much all the same. Check these posts if you would like to see how repetitive I have been so far. I will also refer you to the same posts…
Yokosuka Beer
Yokosuka beer is a fairly recently opened new brewery out in Yokosuka. So far, totally as expected from the name I guess! What is surprising is the fact that in spite of being new, they seem to know what they’re doing. Quite a lot of breweries in Japan seem to start slowly but Yokosuka are…
Brussels Beer Project Shinjuku
FYI, this place has opened on the site of the former Cafe Hoegaarden. I have kept the original post by James below if you are interested in reading that. 2017 seems to be shaping up to be the year of new taprooms in Tokyo. Not long after the opening of the new Mikkeller bar in…
Mikkeller Tokyo
Mikkeller is back in Japan. After numerous pop-ups they are back in a premises of their own and back in the heart of Shibuya. Although this time it’s a quite different part of Shibuya, over the other side of Bunkamura to the old branch, in what is a very ‘unique and interesting’ neighbourhood. Previous to…
