From the people who brought you Bucket, we now have Progress on the other side of Musashi Kosugi station to their first bar. I visited on a pre-opening day and enjoyed it but then somehow forgot to write it up on here. Now I’m remedying that. I thought a Friday night football game would be…
It’s been a while now since the TDM Aoyama taproom closed and I’m sure that plenty of people have been eagerly awaiting the opening of their new Shimokitazawa branch. There’s so much new development going on in Shimokita at the moment that it’s not going to help you if I say that this place is…
Much like the last post, where I suggested that you could find out all you need to know about Beer Kobo Shinjuku by reading the previous posts on Beer Kobo pubs and just changing the location, today’s post on the latest iBrew branch to open in Akihabara can repeat the trick by directing you to…
Kawasaki is a city I am quite familiar with as I work there three days a week and have a spent a great deal of time at the football stadium. There are a few breweries ranging from the fairly well know (Brimmer) via the very local and quite quirky (Moonlight) to the downright confusing (TT)….
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…
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…
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…
Post by James Titans is a Taproom and bottle shop that has just opened right next to Otsuka station. It is a collaboration between two beer importers AQ Bevolution and Beer Cats. Titans has three floors. The first floor has the counter and large fridges. There is one small table and standing space. The second…
A couple of stops down the train line from Fujisawa is a place that I have been looking forward to trying for a long while. Hopman is the sister bar of Ushitora (but don’t let that put you off…) as the people who opened it used to work at the Shimokitazawa home of bad service…
I recently made the trip out of Tokyo to Shonan (football again) and once again took the chance to visit a few beer places that I have been meaning to put on here for ages. Firstly, it’s Mokichi Craft Beer, the beer restaurant of the Shonan brewery in Fujisawa. I went here once before, quite…
