Today a place in another area I had never been to before this visit. Getting off the Yamanote line at Komagome, this place was about a seven minute walk south. I know they used to have a Hinomoto Beer Parlor in Jinbocho. Not sure why they have moved from there to here but it might…
Today it’s Okei Brewing, the first craft beer brewpub in Arakawa-ku! But they don’t quite seem to be up and brewing yet as none of their beers were on tap. When we visited though, there was someone hanging around in the brewery and it looked like things were in place so maybe that’s starting soon….
Crowd was our final stop on our mini eastern Tokyo pub crawl. In spite of it being near a station with a similar name, it’s not that close to Keisei Koiwa Craft Saketen. It was about a 20 minute walk and then one stop on the train from Koiwa to Shin Koiwa. So I guess…
Keisei Koiwa Craft Saketen (or KKCB) was our second stop on our east Tokyo pub crawl. For some reason this place has always held a strange allure for me. I say an allure, but I didn’t really know much about it and had never visited so I guess it was more of an inexplicable urge…
In my ongoing quest to complete a new year’s resolution that I set myself for 2021 but failed to complete due to the ongoing pandemic, and then restarted at the beginning of this year, I have been venturing to some places a bit of my usual beaten track. Tokyo is a huge city and it’s…
It’s been a while now since the TDM Aoyama taproom closed and I’m sure that plenty of people have been eagerly awaiting the opening of their new Shimokitazawa branch. There’s so much new development going on in Shimokita at the moment that it’s not going to help you if I say that this place is…
It’s been a long time since we had anywhere in Ota-ku on here. The previous place I visited in the ward has long since closed. Perhaps it’s a ward of Tokyo that sometimes gets slightly overlooked, even though it might be the Tokyo ward in which many people first set foot in (it has Haneda…
Post by James Wedge Bottle Shop and Pizza is about 1 minute from Myogadani station on the Marunouchi line. Definitely not a station that has thus far had a lot of craft beer options. It seems to be connected to PDX Taproom which is also on this site (post for that place is here).There are…
If you’ve ever been to a Devil Craft bar, you’ll probably only be skimming this post to find out what’s different about their Jiyugaoka branch. Or probably more likely you’ll have already been here as this place has been open a while and I’ve only just got round to visiting. Given that their first three…
A quick post today on a kaku-uchi (booze shop where you can drink), that has been open a couple of years. There are now loads of places to drink in and around Kanda. Perhaps some might be put off by the swarms of salarymen which fill the area on weekdays, but plenty of these places…
