It’s been a while now since the TDM Aoyama taproom closed and I’m sure that plenty of people have been eagerly awaiting the opening of their new Shimokitazawa branch. There’s so much new development going on in Shimokita at the moment that it’s not going to help you if I say that this place is…

Sekimachi Cellar
Post by James Sekimachi Cellar is a family owned liquor store with a long history. It was founded in the 5th year of the Taisho era. I think that would be 1916. Anyway, it’s definitely over 100 years old. You can’t sense such a long history from the building itself but you certainly get the…
Craft Beer Scissors Ikejiri Ohashi
Today we are getting off the train at a previously unvisited station. Well, actually I walked there, so not really. And of course I can’t speak for my readers’ Tokyo station visiting past so maybe it’s wrong on that account too. If you don’t live in, or haven’t visited the area before, Ikejiri Ohashi is…
Manu’a Beer Club
A quick post today on a fairly newly opened bar in Shinsen, not far from Hiranoya. I was drawn in by the records and beer concept and although the music wasn’t really my style, (actually not at all my style if I’m being honest), I really enjoyed listening to the music that was being selected…
P2B Haus
After visiting Ben’s Slop Shop (BSS), I moved on to the equally interestingly named P2B Haus. Plenty to consider in that name. If the previously mentioned BSS is a great place to pop in for a beer or two whilst shopping, P2B is probably somewhere you’d want to spend a bit more time and have…
Ben’s Slop Shop
It’s been a while since I went to any new places so I thought I’d take a trip to Kichijoji, go to some record shops and cross a couple of beer places off the list. Today’s post is on a place that is unsurprisingly pretty similar to a place I’ve already posted about on here….
7-Eleven Setagaya Chitosedai 2 chome (!)
Thanks to a recent sponsorship deal I’m pleased to announce that the next few hundred blog posts on here will be about the marvelous craft beer heavens that are 7-11s… Only joking. I would never accept sponsorship as my impartiality is not purchasable at any price. Well maybe I’d sell all of this out for…
Tegamisha Brewery
The other night, my daughter and I jokingly asked the respective Siris living inside our iPhones to talk to each other. After a few esoteric attempts at artificial intelligence communication, my phone magically recommended that I check out Tegamisha Brewery. Gave me Google Map directions and all. This spot opened last June 3rd and is…
Drink Up!! Craft Beer Shop
It’s weird that at one of the worst possible times to visit new places I suddenly seem to have found an appetite for doing so. Once again the state of emergency has naturally influenced the experience I was able to have here, but I’ll do my best to give a decent summing up of this…
Citraba
I’m not sure this really counts as a new blog post as large portions of it have been lifted directly from the old blog post on this bar’s previous incarnation, Craft Beer Market Koenji (you can check that post here if you want and if you can read the text through the strikethrough effect). To…
