July 7, 2007 6 beers on tap, including: Yona Yona pale ale, Tokyo Black porter, as John Smith’s Extra Smooth, Sankt Gallen. 30 Bottled beers: all Baird, Weihenstephan and three Hobgoblin varieties, by Sankt Gallen’s highly drinkable Golden Ale. Article on bar: http://www.bento.com/brews76.html. About 30% foreigners. Fills up quickly. Had great conversation in half/english-half/japanese with 3 people. Drank a Baird shima-guni stout for $8. To get there take Odakyu line to Machida (30minutes from Shinjuku for $3). Take east exit and turn right down the big busy walking-only street. After 5-8 minutes walking past most of the shops it on the right. Bustling night life around area. |
