500yen pour your own beer bar Kiminchi in Shibuya. Not open long but still surprised to see it completely empty. Just round the corner from the excellent Wailele ～American Beer Bar～

It's the 1st of Feb. Looking for somewhere new to drink? Here are some places added to Beer in Japan listings in the last month - some new, some added later than they should have been as I catch up with the ever expanding list:
TBE Brewing in Ebisu
イタリアン食堂 Va bene In Kichijoji
わいマ Casual Wine Market -東京リカーランド北千住東口店 (Shop) in Kita-senju...
BEER SAURUS JURA in Kawagoe
Kiminchi in Shibuya
And the reopening of Full Monty British Pub & Cider House in Yokohama
As ever, you'll find them all on the BIJ Beer Map at: http://beerinjapan.com/bij/
My Beer Cats luckybag arrived. Damn good value for 5980yen - 10 different beers in mine, including the Benchmark IPA which I'd been looking forward to trying and couldn't resist opening straight away!
Todd Stevens of Beer Cats is making 10 more Luckybags available. While each has a similar selection, there are some differences between each Luckybag. If you're feeling lucky, order at the link below. For 5980yen I'm tempted to get another myself!
Craft Beer＆Whisky Bar STONE In Asagaya. Craft beer bar and bottle shop. Taps are all American and mostly Pale Ale/IPA focused. Bottles can be consumed in the bar for 100yen charge - the closest thing to Antenna America prices in Tokyo. Sadly smoking though otherwise it's one of the best options for hoppy beers in west Tokyo.
Pictured beer: Saint Archer IPA (1300Yen for a pint)
Happy New Beer Luckybags from Beer Cats. Limited to 20 sets so be quick!
