I’ve been meaning to visit Senne for a while but was slightly nervous due to it looking like a kind of classy food focused place. People who know me will know that I don’t fit into either of those categories. Senne is run by the people who were behind Dig The Line Doors (which was…

Hop Trip
Beware! Hop Trip has moved from Saitama to Tama Plaza. I’ll leave the write up below as maybe it has the same kind of feel still, but probably a good idea to check before visiting Written by Mothy The other day, I went to Hop Trip (モロッコ料理とクラフトビール ホップとリップ ) in Yono. At least I think…
Brew Lounge Ichigaya
Written by James The sign above the shop name says all you need to know, “Craft Beer & Italian”. That’s exactly what Brew Lounge Ichigaya offers. The layout is interesting and a bit unusual. There are five seats at a counter by the door, so it’s easy to come here on your own. There are…
Little Crop
When I was searching for places to drink Japanese craft beer in Hamura, this was one of only two places I could find. The other was Wildz, but the only similarity between the two is probably that they’re near the same station. Little Crop is a little further from Ozaku station, but still not more…
Kaiser Chick
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…
Craft x Craft
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…
Niku To Mugi
Written by James Niku to Mugi opened relatively recently in Hatagaya (about one minute from Gremlin) and it definitely has its own style that sets it apart from other craft beer bars. You take your shoes off on the way in and wear a pair of the slippers provided. The bar, actually I’d call it…
Williams Brooklyn Restaurant / Williams Brewery
Written by James Williams Brewery / Williams Brooklyn Restaurant is in Kuki in Saitama and it started brewing this year (2022). It’s a few stations past Omiya which is a trek for me but I just fancied going. From the outside it looks like a house or a hotel. There is a sign saying “Lots…
Kunitachi Brewery / Kasugai
Post by James About a 1km walk from Kunitachi station will take you to Kunitachi Brewing and Bakushokudo Kasugai. They are next door to each other and owned by the same people. Basically it is a brewery with its own restaurant and tasting room next door. You don’t seem to be able to drink at…
Devil Craft Jiyugaoka
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…
