Today a quick post on somewhere that had previously appeared on my digest post but now has a full entry on here. Good Sleep Baker is a bar with bakery upstairs in an area that I didn’t really have anything on my Tokyo Beer Drinker map. It’s within about a 20 minute walk of Umegaoka’s…

Va Bene Shimokitazawa (& Kichijoji)
[Pretty much as soon as I decided to split all the posts that I had previously grouped by area, I’ve now decided to group two places together. The reason for this is that I don’t think the Va Bene in Kichijoji is worthy of mentioning in its own right, but thought I’d add the info…
Kanazawa round up part 1: Abri Ramen & Bar
Today, the first of two posts on Kanazawa by a new blog helper. Please click here for part 2. Thank you very much to Rich for offering to lend a hand and write about some places in Kanazawa. It will be obvious it’s a guest post as the photos are very nice unlike my usual…
Devil Craft Gotanda
A sightly belated post on the new Devil Craft today. I suspect that a lot of you have been there already as they’ve been open a little while now, but I haven’t been able to find the time to visit till now. If you’ve been to one of the other Devil Craft bars you’ll know…
Anchor Point
A quick post on a new brewpub, or more accurately a huge fancy restaurant that makes its own beers. Anchor Point has really appeared out of nowhere and I hadn’t heard of it till a friend mentioned it. There’s clearly some big money behind it as the place is snazzy and massive but they are…
Baird Bashamichi Taproom
Baird Bashamichi is another place that I’ve been a few times but for some reason have never added. Possibly when I go to Yokohama I get a bit overwhelmed and forget to take pictures and notes. But anyway, here it finally is. As there are significant similarities with the other Baird taprooms, I will concentrate…
Umaya/Yokohama Brewery
Today a quick post on somewhere that I’ve been before but didn’t put on here for some reason. Since then, they seem to have rebranded from Pivovar to Umaya, maybe suggesting that the focus is now the food rather than the beer (just a guess). Yokohama Brewery has been something of a mainstay in the…
Grano
Today, another Fujisawa place. Grano is a pizzeria with a decent selection of craft beer just a few minutes from the station. I’d heard good things about their pizzas and was interested to check them out and of course, also the beers. – Very much feels like a pizza restaurant (because that’s what it is,…
Sendai intermission part 1: Craftsman Sendai
(This was originally one post rounding up Sendai, but now it has been split into separate entries. The other places are mentioned in part 2 and part 3) [To see all the Sendai posts on this blog, click here] Another trip out of Tokyo for football, and once again I thought it was worth mentioning…
Craftsman Yokohama
[Apparently, they now allow smoking inside, so another reason for some not to go here] Seems that Craftsman is becoming a fast growing chain recently. They have fairly recently opened new bar/restaurants in Kichijoji and Yokohama. There will be a post on the Kichijoji branch fairly soon, but as I was in Yokohama for football,…
