Pigalle is a European beer bar in Sangenjaya, a little west of Shibuya on the Den-en-toshi line (which incidentally has a reputation of being one of the most crowded lines in Tokyo). A short post as they don’t have much Japanese beer here, but that’s not really the point of the place! – Very small…
This is the new ‘brew-on-site’ location for Kiuchi, best know for their Hitachino Nest beers, just over the river from Akihabara. They have combined this with a small taproom hosting a wide range of their beers, including some special Brew Lab beers which I guess are made on site. They have a total of ten…
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…
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…
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…
(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…
(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…
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…
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…
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…
