A new Baird taproom! That kind of came out of the blue. And it’s in Takadanobaba, an interesting area where some beery stuff seems to be starting to happen. As usual, for the full details, I’d recommend checking one of the other Baird taproom posts (Harajuku or Nakameguro. Bashamichi to be done soon, I hope)….
Today, somewhere that stands out from many of the other beer places that are opening at the moment. Awashima Soko is a tiny beer pub with great looking food in a slightly difficult location that specialises in serving beers from Japanese breweries that are rarely seen on tap elsewhere in Tokyo. – Pretty tiny place….
(This was originally part of a big Daimon/Hamamatsucho area round up post until I decided to split it in order for the tags to work better. Here are part 1, part 2 and part 3) Finally, Soul Bird. Probably the most conventionally styled of all of these places (see the previous parts), Soul Bird is…
Post by Mothy The other day I took a trip to Gotanda and made a stop at Craftsman. It’s a short walk from the station, so if you are in the area it’s a convenient place for a beer. Though they seem to be more on the side of a restaurant that serves beer rather…
(This was originally one post with another Yotsuya place. Check that here) Post by James This is a very friendly place that is easy to go to on your own. It is the sort of place where you are sure to get talking to whoever is at the counter. Marumugi has more to offer craft…
Post by Jim Beer Hunting Urawa is a craft beer bar focusing on Japanese craft breweries. The entire bar is no smoking. It’s about a one minute walk from the east exit of Kita Urawa station in Saitama. It’s right above a CoCo Ichiban curry shop. There are 27 seats in total total, nine of them…
Today, a brief post on another new place, this one opened only last week. There has been a trickle of information regarding this place for the last six months or so but the actual opening seemed to come around quite quickly. I was in the area at the weekend, so took the opportunity to pay…
The last of my three stops on Sunday, the possibly amusingly named Wiz is another pretty new place. Looks like the rush of openings is still going strong. Perhaps it was the location, but before I went I felt like it had a Craft Beer Market feel to it. In other words, lots of taps,…
Few updates added below as I popped in here today and it seems that what I’ve written on here isn’t very accurate anymore. Quick post on my first stop last Sunday. Yanaka Beer Hall is a fairly new place (I believe) and is a pretty unusual location for a craft beer place. I suspect it…
A brief post on Pump, a fairly new bar that opened late last year between Ikebukuro and Mejiro. – About 500m south of Ikebukuro on the main road. – Around 20 seats and place for about ten at the counter. – Bright and new decor with quite a young atmosphere. – Half, ¥500-¥700, Pint, ¥840-¥1180….
