After TAP x TAP I proceeded to the Kanda outlet of the Craft Beer Market chain. Probably no further than 200m from TAP x TAP if you don’t get lost.

TAP x TAP, Kanda, Tokyo, Japan
After the 90 minute Shinkansen trip from Nagano I was now back in Tokyo for the final couple of days of my trip.
Before I’d flown to Japan I’d found an article talking about the craft beer scene that was popping up in Japan, and in Tokyo around the Kanda Station area.
True to form when I got off the train I headed for the wrong subway exit and ended up 500m metres from where I wanted to go (a feat I would repeat while tying to get back into the station a couple of hours later!)

James Nagano Beer Market, Nagano, Japan
Central Nagano is relatively small and easily walkable as I was to find out.
I’d searched the internet and found a couple of small craft beer places in Nagano, and I headed out just after 5pm thinking I’d be up for a 15 minute walk or so, but after heading out from my hotel, crossing the road and walking about a minute I was standing just across the road from James Nagano Beer Market!
I headed up the stairs to find a couple of people already enjoying a beer and sat at the bar.

Yakitori Akiyoshi, Hiroshima, Japan
Shinchan, Hiroshima, Japan
Okonomiyaki is a Japanese savory pancake mainly associated with Hiroshima and the Kansai area.
While you can get Okonomiyaki at any number of restaurants in Hiroshima, the mecca is the vertical village called Okonomi-mura in central Hiroshima that houses 24 Okonomiyaki restaurants all cooking the dish in their own special way.
