21 minutes from Shinjuku by express, Craft Beer Moonlight is one of only three bars in Tokyo that makes beer on premises. It also sells homebrewing supplies.

The question is: Are you worthy?

Dinosaurs and craft beer together in one place? That can only be a winner, can’t it?!

It may have quirky hours, a quirky menu, a quirky shopping center location, and quirky discounts – but it has also has 5 craft beers on tap and an extensive range of bottles, and for that, I can put up with Bulldog’s quirks.

Towers is a tiny little standing bar between Kyobashi and Tokyo stations – but unlike other standing bars that serve standard commercial beers, Towers specialises in craft beers.

Serving Brooklyn Lager on keg in Japan for the first time and with good food and a relaxed atmosphere to match, Brooklyn Parlor is a welcome addition to the Shinjuku bar scene.

In the back streets of Kanamecho, The Cat & Cask Tavern is a small, local, friendly bar occupying the ground floor of the owners’ British style home. But it’s not just the unique building and atmosphere that make this bar attractive – it has good beer poured with care and attention too.

Thrash Zone is a fantastic little craft beer bar in Yokohama. It may be a little difficult to find first time, but with good condition local and import craft beers are excellent prices, it’s worth the effort.

Four stops from Meguro in Senzoku is Pangaea, a small friendly little bar with a great nomihodai offer on Friday and Saturday nights. I do wish it didn’t have cigars though…

By day it’s a bakery, by night it’s a bar. Kimono Wine Bar in Nishi Azabu may be a wine bar, but it also has some good craft beers at reasonable prices.
