It’s been fairly a busy 12 months for Tokyo Beer Drinker to date. There may be virtually a sense that we’re ticking off locations so shortly that we would be capable of meet up with the backlog. However then once more, I’m going to locations that I discover fascinating, and there are quite a lot of locations that don’t look significantly fascinating however are nonetheless worthy of inclusion on right here and people are going to be those which can be difficult to search out time or enthusiasm to do. I assume I’ve at all times thought of this to be a barely curated number of locations. With that in thoughts, and searching on the locations which can be being added lately, you possibly can in all probability get an concept of what sort of issues I’m curious about and what sort of locations I prefer to go to. Hopefully there’s some correlation between these locations and locations that readers are curious about. I’m due a digest submit quickly with a lot of locations that match into the ‘a bit fascinating however possibly not very conveniently situated’ class. However some locations are leaping up and waving at me, tempting me with issues that I’m by which are bypassing the digest submit and leaping straight to full submit territory. And that’s the case with at the moment’s place. Tregion Port, (unsure what the identify means), lured me in with the promise of Tohoku beers, significantly one from Brewccoly and I appreciated what I discovered there. Right here’s what it’s good to know:
- Positioned on the second flooring of a elaborate wanting constructing, (simply go up the staircase close to the doorway), in the primary consuming and consuming road of Akasaka. I hadn’t been to this space for a very long time. Perhaps the final time was to go to the now lengthy closed Beer Horn. This place is sort of close to the place that place was. It’s fairly massive for a Tokyo beer place with a great deal of seats and tables. I couldn’t rely them however Tabelog says 70. There have been quite a lot of good smooth classic wanting sofas to take a seat on. Maybe it appears bizarre that I discussed the main points concerning the sofas, however I did fairly take pleasure in them. The ambiance was good and relaxed and the employees had been very useful and pleasant.
- That they had 9 faucets, however solely six had been on, which is completely comprehensible on a weekend in COVID instances. All beers had been from Tohoku, which isn’t any shock as that’s the theme of the place. Beers are served in two sizes, 380ml and 250ml and had been priced at ¥990 and ¥770 respectively. There have been three breweries I’d by no means had earlier than and nearly all of the six had been additionally breweries that you simply don’t see in Tokyo fairly often in order that they have one thing actually distinctive in that respect. There may be additionally an honest number of bottles and cans. Beware that the can and bottle costs don’t embody tax, however the faucets do, which might be slightly complicated. There’s additionally a canopy cost of ¥550 for those who go to after 17:00. That is fairly a excessive cost, however the meals provided for it seemed fairly fancy.
- Together with the beers they’ve Tohoku themed meals, Tohoku Nihonshu and wine, Tohoku all the pieces mainly. The place isn’t any smoking and there’s a lot of daytime opening (NOT SO MUCH ANYMORE IT SEEMS). They normally (exterior of Corona instances, I assume), serve breakfast, lunch and dinner and are open all by way of the day which is an actual rarity. I think when vacationers are again in Japan, this will probably be a preferred vacation spot for them. I didn’t test for wifi, however I’d think about they’ve it.
Truthfully, the beers had been all nice right here. It was distinctive not solely when it comes to the breweries but additionally the truth that all three we had had been scrumptious. The costs appear fairly affordable. The sizes are slightly smaller than typical however these sizes work for me and the costs are accordingly additionally slightly decrease than typical so issues stability out at round regular. The meals was very nice too, however in case you are a vegetarian or have dietary wants I might point out this proper at the beginning and they’ll direct you to issues you could eat, as there was a little bit of ‘bonus meat’ occurring. Undecided if I’ve used that phrase right here earlier than, however mainly I imply that meat is added if you may not count on it or possibly not need it. The otoshi prices a bit greater than typical as properly, however when it arrived I knew it might, because it seemed fairly fancy. I’m actually curious about going again, however I feel I’ll do this through the daytime, as my dietary peculiarities imply it might make extra sense for me to take action. With no cowl cost earlier than 17:00 this can be a excellent place to drink beers that you simply received’t discover in lots of different locations. They listing their faucets on their social media so you possibly can simply test what they’ve on earlier than you go. It’s not an space of Tokyo I typically discover myself in, however provided that it’s fairly simply accessible, possibly Tregion Port would be the cause that adjustments for me sooner or later.
