The second Ise Kadoya Tokyo taproom has been open a little while now but I’ve only just managed to make it there. The first branch is in Yaesu, so dead in the middle of salaryman territory. The second is on the 14th floor of the Takashimaya department store in Shinjuku (although strictly speaking it’s actually…
A quick post today on a fairly newly opened bar in Shinsen, not far from Hiranoya. I was drawn in by the records and beer concept and although the music wasn’t really my style, (actually not at all my style if I’m being honest), I really enjoyed listening to the music that was being selected…
It’s been a while since I went to any new places so I thought I’d take a trip to Kichijoji, go to some record shops and cross a couple of beer places off the list. Today’s post is on a place that is unsurprisingly pretty similar to a place I’ve already posted about on here….
A recent football game in Yokohama gave me the opportunity to pop in to a new place for me. I have so many places on my backlog in Yokohama that I could have chosen many options, but I always like to prioritise brewpubs and breweries over pubs so I plumped for the enjoyably named Ergo…
(FORMERLY KNOWN AS PRIMORDIAL) Post by Mothy So, I had the chance to check out AQUWA (not sure why all caps) Brew Works. I had gone to Primordial a number of times so I found the place easy and nothing much had changed visually. A different name in front, but same color scheme to…
A quick post today on a brewery that can be visited at certain limited times. So far, so tricky. Also, it’s not easy to get to! But it was a lot of fun so I thought it merited a mention on here. Given the limitations when it comes to opening times and accessibility I’m…
Post by James Inkhorn Brewing and Tasting Room opened in Mejiro quite recently. The bilingual owner’s first experience of brewing was in Oregon and this place definitely has a unique feel to it. I believe Inkhorn is the first brewery in Toshima-ku to get a beer brewing license. As you can see from the photo,…
Thanks to a recent sponsorship deal I’m pleased to announce that the next few hundred blog posts on here will be about the marvelous craft beer heavens that are 7-11s… Only joking. I would never accept sponsorship as my impartiality is not purchasable at any price. Well maybe I’d sell all of this out for…
Post by James Grau Craft Beer Bar has just opened about 9 minutes from Fujimino station. For anyone who’s never heard of Fujimino, it is about 30 minutes from Ikebukuro on the Tobu Tojo line. A bit of a trek for most people. The bar looks good both inside and out. The street in…
Today, the last post from my Shibuya Beer Party 2021 expeditions and it’s somewhere that I have walked past on numerous occasions but never considered going into. Gau’s is quite near Cidernaut and slightly hidden away on the 2nd floor. But as there’s plenty of bright signage it’s probably hard to miss it. In the…
