(This was originally one post rounding up Sendai, but now it has been split into separate entries. The other places are mentioned in part 1 and part 2) [To see all the Sendai posts on this blog, click here] After Craft Beer Market and Craftsman I really felt like I should be giving some…

Niigata intermission part 1: Beer Trip Olive
Another Pint is now called EST and isn’t linked to Olive anymore. It’s on the Niigata round up post along with lots of other places that you can find here. Niigata round up (Not sure why but it wouldn’t let me link to it more elegantly. Sorry) Also, it’s best to check Olive is open…
Vector Beer & Vector Beer Factory
Post by James Vector Beer Vector Beer is close to Shinjuku Gyoenmae and pretty close to Shinjuku Sanchome. It has a system which is very similar to Craft Beer Market, i.e. there is a charge to get in (¥350) but the beer is cheap (¥450 for a glass and ¥750 for a US pint). Tax…
Awashima Soko
Today, somewhere that stands out from many of the other beer places that are opening at the moment. Awashima Soko is a tiny beer pub with great looking food in a slightly difficult location that specialises in serving beers from Japanese breweries that are rarely seen on tap elsewhere in Tokyo. – Pretty tiny place….
Kofu special part 2: The Vault
(This was originally two places on one post. It has now been split. Part 1 is here) The Vault is pretty near Hops & Herbs (from here on referred to as H&H) and if you are if Kofu, it makes sense to pop in here too I reckon. It is also part of the Outsider…
Iidabashi Extras part 2: La Cachette
This post was originally part of one Iidabashi round up post before I decided to split all of these joint posts. Check out the other part here. Post by James This bar has been around since long before Craft Beer became fashionable. It is located on the 3rd floor of a building at the bottom…
Beer Engine
Once again, thanks to all the people who are helping out with post on the blog. It really is shaming me into getting to some new places myself. So, consequently when I found myself with an early finish in Koenji this week it seemed like the perfect opportunity to check out the newly-opened Beer Engine….
Wash1n
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…
Hemel Miyamasu
Post By James Hemel is a Belgian beer/wine bistro. There are two of them in Shibuya. One, In De Bourgondische Hemel, is on Dogenzaka and the other, Wine & Belgian Beer Hemel, is on Miyamasu-zaka. It was the latter which I checked out. The place was a reasonable size. There seemed to be about 18 counter seats and three tables…
Yotsuya Part 2 – Mates
(This was originally one post with another Yotsuya place. Check that here) Post by James I found this place by chance as I arrived about 20 minutes before Marumugi opened. – Mates is a small bar with seven counter seats and a table that could seat about the same number. – They had Lagunitas, Sierra…
