As an aficionado of craft beer, Grant has already told us about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.insidejapantours.com\/blog\/2016\/01\/22\/craft-beer-in-tokyo\/\">his favourite watering holes in Tokyo<\/a> &#8211; but his recent trip back to Japan gave him plenty more opportunities to indulge his passion. Here, he dives back into the world of Japanese craft beer&#8230;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>While <a href=\"https:\/\/www.insidejapantours.com\/japanese-destinations\/tokyo\/\">Tokyo<\/a> has more craft beer bars than you can shake a stick at, outside of the capital you can still find that there are plenty of great places across Japan to get your dose of malt and hops.<\/p>\n<h1>1) Thrash Zone, Yokohama<\/h1>\n<p>We will start our tour only a short train ride from Tokyo in the port city of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.insidejapantours.com\/japanese-destinations\/yokohama\/\">Yokohama<\/a>. One of the early centers of craft beer in Japan, Yokohama is home to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.beerdrinkinginternational.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Thrash Zone,<\/a> a tiny brewery\/bar that embraces the owner&#8217;s love of heavy metal and heavy hops. Brewing intense India Pale Ales in the American west coast style, the brewery lives up to their motto: \u201cExtreme Beer Only!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Located near Yokohama Station Thrash Zone is well worth a visit, perhaps after a day trip to nearby <a href=\"https:\/\/www.insidejapantours.com\/japanese-destinations\/kamakura\/\">Kamakura<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h1>2) Craft Man, Kyoto<\/h1>\n<p>Most visitors to Japan will find themselves in the ancient capital of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.insidejapantours.com\/japanese-destinations\/kyoto\/\">Kyoto<\/a> at some point during their trip. The city is well known as a centre of traditional Japanese culture, with an enormous number of World Heritage Sites. As any traveller knows, though, after a long day of visiting temples, gardens and museums nothing refreshes like a great beer.<\/p>\n<p>Luckily, there are some excellent options. Right next to Shijo-Karasuma station in central Kyoto lies <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kyoto-craftman.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Craft Man<\/a>, a multi-level bar with a wide variety of Japanese craft beer on tap. This is a great spot to sample beers from all over the country.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-11785 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.insidejapantours.com\/blog\/2016\/07\/19\/7-places-drink-craft-beer-japan\/craftman2\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.insidejapantours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Craftman2-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-11787\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.insidejapantours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Craftman2-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.insidejapantours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Craftman2-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-11787'>\n\t\t\t\tCraft man\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.insidejapantours.com\/blog\/2016\/07\/19\/7-places-drink-craft-beer-japan\/craftman1\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.insidejapantours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/CraftMan1-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-11786\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.insidejapantours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/CraftMan1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.insidejapantours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/CraftMan1-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-11786'>\n\t\t\t\tHaving a beer at craft man\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<h1>3) Kyoto Brewing, Kyoto<\/h1>\n<p>If you happen to be in Kyoto over the weekend you can sweep into the <a href=\"https:\/\/kyotobrewing.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kyoto Brewing<\/a> tasting room. One of the newest kids on the craft block, Kyoto Brewing blends American, British and Belgian styles with a unique Japanese twist. The tasting room is south of Kyoto Station, but well worth the trek. Just make sure they are open!<\/p>\n<h1>4) Minoh Beer, Osaka<\/h1>\n<p>Nearby <a href=\"https:\/\/www.insidejapantours.com\/japanese-destinations\/osaka\/\">Osaka<\/a> can claim <a href=\"http:\/\/www.minoh-beer.jp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Minoh Beer<\/a>, one of the most famous and popular breweries in Japan. All over Osaka you will find Minoh\u2019s Beer Belly taprooms. Their W-IPA (Double IPA) and Dry Stouts are both excellent, and you will often find one-off, seasonal, and guest beers filling out the tap selections.<\/p>\n<h1>5) Kure Beer, Hiroshima<\/h1>\n<p>Heading further west we come to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kurebeer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kure Beer<\/a> and their Kaigun-san no Bakushukan (Naval Man\u2019s Beerhall) in the naval port city of Kure, near <a href=\"https:\/\/www.insidejapantours.com\/japanese-destinations\/hiroshima\/\">Hiroshima<\/a>. While Kure is a bit off the typical tourist trail, there is a compelling reason to make the trek. For 3,900 yen (men) or 3,500 yen (women), you can enjoy two hours of all-you-can-eat <em>shabu-shabu<\/em> (thin strips of meat, veggies and tofu boiled in broth at your table) and all-you-can-drink craft beer. Since most craft beers in Japan sell for between 800 and 1,200 yen per glass, this is excellent value for anybody who wants plenty of dinner washed down with plenty of beer.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-2' class='gallery galleryid-11785 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.insidejapantours.com\/blog\/2016\/07\/19\/7-places-drink-craft-beer-japan\/kurebeer1\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.insidejapantours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/KureBeer1-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-2-11797\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.insidejapantours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/KureBeer1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.insidejapantours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/KureBeer1-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-2-11797'>\n\t\t\t\tKure Beer\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.insidejapantours.com\/blog\/2016\/07\/19\/7-places-drink-craft-beer-japan\/kurebeer2\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.insidejapantours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/KureBeer2-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-2-11798\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.insidejapantours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/KureBeer2-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.insidejapantours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/KureBeer2-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-2-11798'>\n\t\t\t\tKure Beer\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.insidejapantours.com\/blog\/2016\/07\/19\/7-places-drink-craft-beer-japan\/kurebeer3\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.insidejapantours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/KureBeer3-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-2-11799\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.insidejapantours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/KureBeer3-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.insidejapantours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/KureBeer3-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-2-11799'>\n\t\t\t\tKure Beer\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<h1>6) Baird Beer Taproom, Tokyo<\/h1>\n<p>Returning to Tokyo, this year a new <a href=\"http:\/\/bairdbeer.com\/en\/tap\/takadanobaba.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Baird Beer Taproom<\/a> opened in the Takadanobaba neighbourhood. A few stops on the Yamanote line north of Shinjuku, Takadanobaba is a pleasant neighbourhood that is home to Waseda University. Like all of the Baird Beer Taprooms, the Takadanobaba location has a house beer that is only available there, a \u201creal ale\u201d hand-pumped smoked porter. The cuisine here is <em>kushikatsu<\/em>, a selection of meats and vegetables skewered &amp; battered with Japanese <em>panko<\/em> breadcrumbs before being deep fried.

They often carry cans of Yo-ho Brewing\u2019s excellent beers. You might be able to find a Tokyo Black porter, Aooni (Blue Demon) IPA, or even their rotating Lawson exclusive Kimi Biiru Boku Biiru (Your Beer My Beer). With a convenience store on seemingly every corner you\u2019ll be able to find a delicious beer no matter what city or town you find yourself in.<\/p>\n<p>While Japan is most famous for sake and green tea, the burgeoning craft beer scene is leaving a delicious culinary mark on the drinking culture. If you seek out a few of the places on this list you won\u2019t be sorry!<\/p>\n<p><strong>If you&#8217;re a fan of craft beer, get Grant to organise your trip to Japan!
