A brief post on the latest Craft Beer Market, this time in Otemachi. First, the stuff that I always write about Craft Beer Market branches. It has the usual 30 taps of cheap beer in the usual sizes at the usual prices. Most beers are served in two sizes 250ml (¥480) and 473ml (¥780). Barley…
Today a new bar that offers something a bit different for a few reasons. Firstly, it has a real Izakaya feel to it and that’s something that you don’t get with many of the recently opened bars. Also it’s in an area where there’s not much in the way of craft beer places at the…
Today, part three of my loose Belgian trilogy and it’s another Delirium related place. I think I mentioned in the Brasserie Muh post that I hadn’t yet been here, so given that I was kind of close, I thought I’d pop in and get it done. I was expecting great things as De Dolle is…
A brief post on another arm of the Delirium chain of Belgian bars/restaurants, this one being notable for being the first decent beer place in the rapidly up and coming Musashi Kosugi area. It will seem pretty familiar to you if you have visited any of the other bars in the chain. If I had…
Please note that this is Kirin’s Craft Beer brewery, so if you are offended by macro beers, this is not the place for you. Post by James As soon as you see this place you are struck by its size and beauty. It seems much too big to be only a few minutes walk from…
For a while people have been bemoaning the lack of brewpubs in Tokyo. But at the moment it seems that we are getting a new one every month. Less frequent than we get new bars, the rate of opening of which I think has slowed to around one new place every two days recently. After…
I recently realised that I don’t have many of the Delirium locations on here so I guess I should probably remedy that soon. First on the list for me to visit was the most recently opened one and I think the one with the most taps. Like many of the other branches, it’s not in…
Very brief post on a new bistro that has opened fairly recently in the Yoyogi Hachiman area. Quick post as it’s not really a beer place, but a post nonetheless for one particular reason that I will mention below. – Quite fancy bistro cafe and is therefore naturally focused on food rather than beer. But……
Post by Iain According to the blurb on the menu, “gachimaya” means the same as kuishimbo (big eater/gutsy pig) in Okinawan dialect and given the quality of the food in this restaurant it’s tempting to take that as a challenge and try to live up to the name. Although handily placed for Jimbocho Disk Union,…
Post by Iain Wash1n Tokyo has been in business (in this incarnation at least, it seems) for about a year on the south side of Asagaya station. It’s a smallish place with seven tables, two seating four and five seating two, and a counter with five seats. I visited around 19:00 on a Saturday and…
