Today, the first of a couple of places I visited in Fuchu. Beer House Ken has been on my radar for a while but I have never had the chance to visit until now. It’s another one of those beer shops where you can drink on site, which I always find quite fun. Unfortunately, as…
Almost immediately after starting my digest post about places that I wasn’t getting time to go to, and adding Mitsuya to that post, I found myself in Asagaya, so was able to revisit the place. I went there a few times a few years ago, but for one reason or another I didn’t add it…
Today, a quick post on a fairly new place in the middle of a department store food court in Shinagawa. Antenna America have branched out from their base in Yokohama to open a small bar and bottle shop in Atre, attached to Shinagawa station. Thank you to Davido for visiting and sending me photos and…
I have never really had any reason to go to Komae city, just before the Odakyu line crosses the Tama river until now. In an attempt to get some of this horrific backlog done, I decided to pay a quick visit to Spicarbo last week. If you’re a fan of walking, this could be part…
Today a pretty small place out in Mitaka. I think the only other time I’ve been to Mitaka was to go to Drunk Bat. Beer Pub 25 is another decent place in a neighbourhood that I’m not particularly familiar with, but which you could easily combine with Kichijoji if you were in a pub crawl…
Today, we’re in Shimo Kitazawa again and this time it’s for a place that might be familiar to people who have been drinking in the area before. Kazenori Merry is located in what used to be the old Ushi Tora 1, a couple of doors along from Ushi Tora 2 (the standing bar). It’s run…
Ushi Tora has moved. The old standing bar is still there (check here for a post on that place), but their main bar has now crossed the tracks to the area north of where the Odakyu and Inokashira lines meet. I have a bit of a troubled relationship with Ushi Tora. I’ve had some bad…
PLEASE NOTE: THEY ARE NOW CLOSED ON THURSDAYS. HOURS UPDATED BELOW This is the new bar from the people who were running World Beer Market on the other side of Kita Senju station. That shop has now closed and they have opened Beer Ma, a bar and bottle shop on the west side of the…
A quick post on another new ‘brewery’ in Tokyo. Like many of the breweries that have recently opened (Goto Jozo, Pacific NW (post to follow when I actually manage to go there), and the over four years open Watering Hole who seem to be concentrating more on prising money away from people than starting brewing),…
A sightly belated post on the new Devil Craft today. I suspect that a lot of you have been there already as they’ve been open a little while now, but I haven’t been able to find the time to visit till now. If you’ve been to one of the other Devil Craft bars you’ll know…
