Today a place that has just been opened by a regular drinker at Gremlin. Biruya Koizumi is a bit further west of Hatagaya though. It’s about a 10 min walk from Chofu station on the Keio line. Considering Chofu is a area with quite a lot of shops and restaurants, there is a dearth of…
Written by James Niku to Mugi opened relatively recently in Hatagaya (about one minute from Gremlin) and it definitely has its own style that sets it apart from other craft beer bars. You take your shoes off on the way in and wear a pair of the slippers provided. The bar, actually I’d call it…
Post by James About a 1km walk from Kunitachi station will take you to Kunitachi Brewing and Bakushokudo Kasugai. They are next door to each other and owned by the same people. Basically it is a brewery with its own restaurant and tasting room next door. You don’t seem to be able to drink at…
Recently the north of Shibuya-ku has had a lot of new places opening. A few of them have made it on to digest posts, some are still yet to be visited but Pintology having 2nd Story Ale Works’ Italian Pils on tap encouraged me to tick this one off the list and get it on…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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….
