Today, a post on a brewery/brewpub/restaurant in Shinagawa, T. Y. Harbor. I had been meaning to go here for a while as I had heard mixed reports and was keen to decide for myself. So, I finally made it there a couple of Fridays ago with a group of friends. My first impression was that…

Cactus Burrito
Today, a brief post about a great restaurant that has good beer. Cactus Burrito is in suburban Kawasaki near Musashi-Shinjo station. I first became aware of them after a facebook post about them buying beer for the restaurant at Antenna America, and given that Mexican is one of my favourite foods, and one that is…
Gremlin
Finally! This is the place I have been waiting for. A really nice bar, serving good beer at a good price, close to my house. Guess I have been a bit picky, but this is the kind of place I can see myself going to often, even if I have to walk 15 minutes to…
Brief Nagoya intermission, part 2: Keg Nagoya
(This is part two of my Nagoya posts. Here are parts one and three) Our second stop and one of the three places in Nagoya that are owned by the company that runs Y. Market (the other two being Grillman and naturally, the Y. Market taproom). Keg is a lot smaller than Y. Market, with…
Brief Nagoya intermission, part 1: Y. Market
(This is part one of my Nagoya posts. Here are parts two and three. These were originally one post, hence there being a kind of introduction on this one and a conclusion on the third one) I wasn’t going to post about my recent trip to Nagoya, but I was encouraged to do so. This…
Craft Beer Stand Turquoise
Another short post, this time on a small bar in Ogikubo tucked away down an alley, with not so many taps, but a nice feel to it. – 5 taps of Japanese craft beer, served in three sizes, small (200ml), medium (280ml) and large (430ml). All beers are priced the same, from small to large,…
Craft Beer Moon Light
This place seems to have moved. The new address and links are the ones below, but the picture and details are for the previous place. I’m guessing the basics are at least similar A brief post today to get me back in the mood for adding to this blog as it has been tough to…
Beer Keyaki Autumn Festival
Firstly, sorry for the lack of posts recently. I was on holiday and since coming back have been too busy to make it to any new places. Actually, too busy to make it to any bars at all really.Secondly, a very short post to inform you that it’s coming up to Keyaki time again. This…
Beach Muffin/Tap Room Michi Kusa (Yorocco Beer)
Today, a place a bit out of Tokyo and not open so often. So far, so inconvenient (for me anyway). However, Beach Muffin could be my dream come true in a few ways. I had been meaning to go here for a while but hadn’t quite managed it. Beach Muffin is the tap room for…
Miyata Beer
Today, Miyata Beer, a fairly new brewpub based in Oshiage. It’s good to see that we are getting new breweries and brewpubs rather than just new pubs as there were so many new places opening that I was worrying that we were going to run out of beer.Miyata Beer seems to be very much…
