Beer!!!!!!Yeah, definitely looking forward to tomorrow so I can let this motif go. Gabrier opened a couple months ago in the restaurant street north of Eitai dori – if you remember where there use to be a kinda long, narrow Italian place, with Ivy growing on the front, close to S&S izakaya and the main […]

Agoo, Daimon
At EOITwJ, when it rains, it pours. And when it pours, it’s generally Belgian beer. We like to think that we know a lot of the Belgian places around Tokyo, so as a nightcap, we were excited to hear that there was a hitherto-unknown outlet nearby the Hippo. Unknown to us at least…Metropolis reviewed it […]

Champs de Soleil, Kanda
That’s right folks, 2 days in a row both see EOITwJ visiting the same Kanda street for Euro-food. This time it’s the highly-recommended Belgian outlet Champs de Soleil (but his friends call him ‘Champ’). Widely known among the underground, this is firmly on the list of ‘places to leave the office at 11:30 for’. After […]

Drunk Bears, Otemachi
Not quite sure what to say about Drunk Bears. First, you’re not misreading and I’m not mistyping – the name is Drunk Bears. It’s situated about halfway along the Otemachi Building, but at ground level rather than in the pack-em-in basement concourse. This means that for today’s lunch it wasn’t even full – somehow people […]

Delirium Cafe Reserve, Akasaka
My friends, do you like beer? 4 out of 5 dentists agree that men like beer, in a strictly clichéd and stereotypic way. But I like beer, and my good friend McNoonan also likes beer, and we were having a little reunion last night involving the usual lunch cast-of-characters plus McN, and we went to […]

Bistro Columbus, Kanda
I’m not at all sure how I came to be in Kanda. No altered states were involved; I just started in Ochanu, disgruntled because I couldn’t find any of the things I wanted to look at in the guitar stores, thought of a place I wanted to go, found it full, kept walking to Akiba, […]

Houblon, Ginza
Boyz, this is it. You think you’ve been to a Belgian beer bar in Tokyo? If it wasn’t Houblon, you haven’t. They have the atmosphere, they have the food, and they have a menu big enough to break the camel’s back, with 300 types of beer (some of which are even in stock!). There’s a […]

Antwerp Six, Yurakucho
Once, several years ago, I tried to go to this Spain Bar called Pero in far-west Ginza, really more Yurakucho. This was before Spain bars got all mysteriously popular (which to me remains a mysterious phenomenon). I was puzzled to see when I got there that it was full, and while putting my name on […]
