Microbrewery Beer In Tokyo

Jon’s blog is slowly becoming my event planner for Tokyo. He tipped me off to the Punchline Comedy event a few weeks ago, and now again to the Japan Craft Beer Association festival this Monday/Tuesday.

I adore microbrewery beer, and especially love searching out Japanese microbreweries. While in Seoul, I know around 10 bars which brew their own beer on the premises, in Tokyo I know of only one, and two in Osaka. Thankfully there are some awesome microbrewery beers available in The Aldgate near where I live, Nest is available in What The Dickens, and Yamaya and Tokyu Food Store both have a small range of the more commercial varieties. The Tokyu Food Show site is in Japanese only, but the store is easy to find in the basement of Shibuya station - just be careful not to assume the supermarket on the ground level is the Tokyu Food Show.

I really must get out to the countryside and visit some of the microbreweries direct. I hear many of them have “drink as much as you want for 3000 yen” deals - which would be lethal :)
