Wanting to broaden my horizons a little, I have set myself a task for 2021. I won’t reveal the details yet as I don’t want to have public evidence of it for when I mess it up or give up. But this task led me indirectly to visit Gahaha. Gahaha had been on my list…
The other night, my daughter and I jokingly asked the respective Siris living inside our iPhones to talk to each other. After a few esoteric attempts at artificial intelligence communication, my phone magically recommended that I check out Tegamisha Brewery. Gave me Google Map directions and all. This spot opened last June 3rd and is…
Today, a quick post on a shop that I have walked past hundreds of times and visited only a few times. Takekuma is an off licence/booze shop a little way up Bremen street from Motosumiyoshi station. I used to pop in to get an emergency Orval from time to time and in those days it…
It’s weird that at one of the worst possible times to visit new places I suddenly seem to have found an appetite for doing so. Once again the state of emergency has naturally influenced the experience I was able to have here, but I’ll do my best to give a decent summing up of this…
An afternoon visit to Harajuku for an errand has kickstarted this blog back into real posting action. Perhaps… This is the first of two posts on quite new places in the Harajuku area which both happen to be beer shops with some degree of on site drinking. This seems to be becoming quite a popular…
A quick post today about what I think is the most recent of the iBrew bars to open. I have to admit, until I went here I had the impression that this was the same place as TBE Brewing, which I thought was a bit more expensive iBrew branch. Now I have no idea if…
A quick post today on a recently opened place in Musashi Kosugi. Bucket is a cafe that also serves craft beer rather than being a craft beer cafe if you know what I mean. Perhaps it could be more easily described as a coffee and craft beer place which to be fair is exactly how…
Today, a post on the recently opened Mikkeller Kanda, burger restaurant and beer bar. It’s a bit of an unfortunate time to be opening a new business but Mikkeller seem to be making the best of it with a nice new place with an interesting layout and some very nice burgers. Well to be honest,…
Today a little post on a brewery that I managed to go to on the second time of asking. Cranc is out in Itabashi, not too far away from Tokyo Aleworks. They are quite different places though in most aspects. As I probably said in the Tokyo Aleworks post on here, Itabashi is really not…
Today, a relatively new brewery out in east Tokyo that was surprisingly popular when we visited shortly after opening on a Saturday afternoon. Folkways Brewing is out in Koto-ku near Kiyosumishirakawa station in a pretty unassuming building next to what looks like a parking area for buses. I know next to nothing about it, so…
