Given that we needed to change trains at Shonandai to get home after Yumegaoka Sunday Brewing, it seemed natural to give the interestingly named Rraap Brewery a go too. It’s not too far from the station exit and looked kind of intriguing when I added it to a digest post a while ago. After visiting…
When I tell you why I finally got round to visiting the area that this place and the following place were in, you might start to doubt my dedication to providing… hang on how did I describe it again… a ‘by no means comprehensive guide to bars that serve nice beer in the Tokyo area’….
I’d heard a few things about Rikri which made me keen to pay them a visit. Also, when checking their Instagram there seemed to be plenty on there to make me feel quite optimistic about what I’d find when I did visit. Given that there were some holidays coming up which basically massively extended the…
After School has been intriguing me for a while. The concept, a brewery in a former school building, is a unique one as far as I know. But I guess there is some history in Japan for former schools being adapted for different kinds of uses. Along with the brewery in the school building there…
East Tokyo brewpub adventure part 4 (Part 1 here, part 2 here and part 3 here) I initially had only planned to visit three brewpubs as I didn’t want to overdo it and didn’t want to spend all of my monthly money in one night out and rule out any more places being added to…
East Tokyo brewpub adventure part 3 (Part 1 here, part 2 here and part 4 here) After a brief / 25 minute (delete depending on your point of view) walk , I made it to On Tap Edo Tokyo Beer. Even though I had mainly planned my route considering the ease of travel, I ended…
East Tokyo brewpub adventure part 1 (Part 2 here, part 3 here and part 4 here) It’s maybe a little bit late, but I feel like I’m starting 2026 at breakneck speed. After adding a couple of Hatagaya places last week, a free evening when I was kind towards the east of Tokyo presented the…
After visiting Senne, it only felt right to tick off the other nearby craft beer place that I’d never visited. Loom had a very different feeling to Senne and if you combine those two places with Gremlin, you probably have something for every craft beer drinker in Hatagaya. Here’s what you need to know about…
I’ve been meaning to visit Senne for a while but was slightly nervous due to it looking like a kind of classy food focused place. People who know me will know that I don’t fit into either of those categories. Senne is run by the people who were behind Dig The Line Doors (which was…
I know I am always talking about how slow I am off the mark when it comes to visiting new places for this site. In this case I have really exceeded myself. I never made it to this place when it was the Nakameguro Beer Boy, and have now only just made it to this…
