I recently realised that I don’t have many of the Delirium locations on here so I guess I should probably remedy that soon. First on the list for me to visit was the most recently opened one and I think the one with the most taps. Like many of the other branches, it’s not in…

Hemel Miyamasu
Post By James Hemel is a Belgian beer/wine bistro. There are two of them in Shibuya. One, In De Bourgondische Hemel, is on Dogenzaka and the other, Wine & Belgian Beer Hemel, is on Miyamasu-zaka. It was the latter which I checked out. The place was a reasonable size. There seemed to be about 18 counter seats and three tables…
Yotsuya Part 2 – Mates
(This was originally one post with another Yotsuya place. Check that here) Post by James I found this place by chance as I arrived about 20 minutes before Marumugi opened. – Mates is a small bar with seven counter seats and a table that could seat about the same number. – They had Lagunitas, Sierra…
Beer Saurus
Post by Jim Beer Saurus is a restaurant and bar less than a ten minute walk from the west exit of Ikebukuro station. It seats 60. Ten of the seats are at a counter with green back-lighting. At first glance the interior looks a bit like a club. Then you’ll notice all the craft beer signs and posters….
Sekiya
UPDATE: This place has changed quite a lot. The left-hand side is now a bar/beer stand with lots of taps, around half of which are from Kunitachi Brewery, which I believe is owned by the same company as Sekiya. The rest were all from Japanese craft beer breweries. I think the concept is that…
Highlander Inn
Post by James Highlander Inn is the sister shop of a hotel/bar on the Speyside trail hence the Inn in the name. It has one of the best selections of whisky in Japan and all the staff are very knowledgeable when it comes to whisky. They also know their beer. – Beer sizes are half…
PDX Taproom
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…
Kichijoji round up part 1: Rogue
(This was initially part of a larger post combining three places in Kichijoji. There are now split into individual entries. Here are part 2 and part 3) I had been meaning to get to Kichijoji for a while as there are a few bars there that I needed to check out. I finally did it…
New Craft Beer Markets: Kichijoji
This post used to be a joint post with another Craft Beer Market. Check the other one out here if you are interested. The points that both have in common appear in both posts. Today, part one on two fairly new Craft Beer Markets (click here for all of the CBM posts in one place),…
Wiz Craft Beer & Food
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,…
