Today, part three of the great Chuo line catch-up-with-places-I-haven’t-visited-that-have-been-open-for-ages pub crawl. I don’t know why, but this place has always kind of intrigued me. I think it might have something to do with the pun in the name, which accurately portrays the fact that the place is both in Kunitachi and in the basement. In…
My second stop along the Chuo line was Musashisakai station, to visit 26K Brewery. If I hadn’t been checking my map closely I might have missed it, as the taproom is inside a multipurpose space combined with a coffee roaster and cafe. I was a bit unsure, but when I peered through the door and…
Another8 Corner is the sister bar of Another8 in Meguro, which in turn was a spin off from Before9 in Kyoto, which has now closed. I went to the Meguro branch once to put it on this site but have never been back since. There’s just too much choice nowadays I guess. I can’t remember…
It seems a bit weird for me to add Sanity’s smaller branch in Gakugeidaigaku before properly writing up their main branch in Sangenjaya which has only appeared on a digest post, but hey ho, that’s how things go sometimes, I guess. I’d say that Sanity quite accurately represents a style of beer place that is…
Today, a newly opened place in Kamakura, and this time it actually is newly opened, being only a couple of weeks old when I visited. Yorocco Beer Pub Sasame Za is the new taproom for the Yorocco brewery. Until now, if you wanted to drink plenty of Yorocco beers on tap in the same place…
Even though it has been open for quite a while, until now I’ve failed to get to Bay Brewing’s Totsuka branch. This is in part due to the fact that I don’t get to Yokohama particularly often and every time I do, there are so many new places that have opened, and they are a…
I’ve been to Kaiser Chick TWICE, and I’ll certainly be back again. That said, I will not be visiting again when the K-Pop girl group TWICE is playing at the nearby Ajinomoto Stadium. Kaiser Chick is equal parts German beer hall, British pub food restaurant and French patisserie, and a really good place to enjoy…
Caliquors Tokyo West is the sister bar of similarly named Caliquors Tokyo in Kanda, but this time it’s in Chitose Funabashi, about three minutes from the station. I really like the Kanda branch so I was quite pleased to hear that a new branch had opened about the same distance from my place in the…
Today, a place I probably thought I would never make it to. Kawaguchi isn’t very far from Tokyo, but at the same time, it wasn’t really on my list of places to go. From my very limited experience of going there, it seemed like quite a nice place, so more fool me for not putting…
For once I can actually use the phrase ‘newly opened’ and not be criticised for having a loose grip on the passing of time. Inabazu was opened a few months ago and is a small brewpub about 10 minutes walk from Inadazutsumi station, just over the Tama river in Kawasaki. It’s probably not an area…
