In The House is another fairly new place in the Harajuku / Gaienmae area and it seemed pretty popular when we popped in early evening on a Saturday. Here’s what you need to know. This was another nice place to visit in an area booming with craft beer bars. When it comes to things being…

Beer Brain Harajuku
After moving around Tokyo in the way that only a bar in a shed on wheels could, Beer Brain finally has a location that can’t be towed away by an over-zealous and misguided parking official. Also, perhaps since I last added a Beer Brain place on here, they also now have their own brewery out…
Dig The Line Doors
Post by James Dig The Line Doors (not sure what the name is supposed to mean), has recently opened in Harajuku. It’s very close to the station, in the basement of the building next to IKEA. As you’d expect from the location it has a trendy, modern vibe. There are six taps and three were…
SCOO
Post by James SCOO is a tiny bar in Harajuku about 9 minutes from the station which opened recently. It is as small as a Golden Gai bar but feels much more sophisticated. Because it’s so small it is very easy to strike up a conversation with other customers and it is a great place…
Threefeet Tokyo
After the last post about Beer Cellar Sapporo Harajuku, a beer shop with drinking on site available we move on to Threefeet Tokyo, a beer shop with a bit less on site drinking available. If I had to sum up the differences succinctly I’d say that Threefeet has more fridges and less seats. There is…
Beer Cellar Sapporo Harajuku / Hi Line Liquid
An afternoon visit to Harajuku for an errand has kickstarted this blog back into real posting action. Perhaps… This is the first of two posts on quite new places in the Harajuku area which both happen to be beer shops with some degree of on site drinking. This seems to be becoming quite a popular…
Kaeru Cafe
Today, a place that once again has something fairly unique to offer. I have no problem at all with there being lots of new and fairly similar bars around now. The more choice the better. But Kaeru Cafe is a bit different and because of this, I feel it’s worthy of a mention on here….
Big Love Records
*A quick warning here. I haven’t been to Big Love in ages and yesterday heard that you can only drink there if you buy something in the shop, so I suspect they are moving away from being a beer place and focusing on the record shop part. Which makes sense… as it is a record…
Baird Harajuku Taproom
Today, one of the first Ji-Biru bars I went to in Japan, initially when I was over on holiday a couple of times, and now living here. Baird have four Taprooms dotted around Japan, two of which are in Tokyo, and one in Yokohama and one in the brewery’s home town, Numazu . Have yet…
