Ladybirds is a bottle shop and bar located in Tsukiji. I was slightly intimidated before I went there as they seemed to have a lot of house rules on their Instagram. I’d recommend that you check them before you go. But I shouldn’t have worried as it was a very nice and relaxing place to…
Kanpai has been open for quite a while now and is in a fairly easily accessible area, so the fact that I’ve only just managed to visit it probably demonstrates quite how little time I’ve been able to dedicate to this blog recently. It ain’t easy being a blogger in the craft beer arena. Too…
Stop number four on my Chuo line pub crawl and there was something of a feeling that I was building towards the highlight of the day. I’m pleased to say that Sakamichi didn’t let me down and was a really nice place to have some really nice beers. I’m getting old and I’m perpetually skint,…
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…
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…
Today a place that I was going to save and add to the next digest post, but maybe feels like it deserves a post of its own. There’s not a great deal to say though, so it will be very brief and all condensed into one paragraph. Maybe this is a good way to go…
Today we visit the first iBrew bar outside of Tokyo. Some people have long been calling for an iBrew in Yokohama and their dream has now come true. I visited the bar on the first Saturday it was open as I had a football match in Yokohama later that afternoon. The match was terrible so…
After moving around Tokyo in the way that only a bar in a shed on wheels could, Beer Brain finally has a location that can’t be towed away by an over-zealous and misguided parking official. Also, perhaps since I last added a Beer Brain place on here, they also now have their own brewery out…
Written by James I love to drink beer in the afternoon but it is difficult to find places to enjoy a craft beer before 5-6 p.m. I saw this place on Instagram and was attracted by the fact that, being both a barber shop and a bar, Frank’s Barbe(e)r The Stand is always open during…
Written by Mothy U.B.P. (Urawa Beer Project) Brewery is the third child of Kobayashi Kenta, following his first shop, Beer Hunting, and his second shop, Beernova. This time he’s made himself a brewery, and while Beernova really felt like just a bigger version of Beer Hunting, this time the taproom seems to have a very…
