Bar FUKURO — Restaurant in Tokyo

Good points: The staff were really friendly and knowledgeable about the beer. The beer was poured right to the top of the glass with no head at all. I like a bit of head to release the aroma but I can't fault a place for completely filling the glass. Great location, close to the station but on a quieter side street. Decent taplist.

Negatives: They allow smoking inside. Even the staff were smoking behind the bar. The whole place smells of smoke so good luck smelling your delicious beer. There is one table outside which is nice if it's not too cold to sit there. Staff had masks but they were down on their chins, not over their mouths or noses. It's a bit silly to do temperature checks and spray everyone's hands with alcohol if the staff aren't wearing masks. It's a bit pricey. I would think a place in Kamata could be a little cheaper but these seem like central Tokyo prices to me.

The smoking inside is a deal breaker for me and lots of other craft beer drinkers. Nice people working there, but I won't...

My favorite bar in Japan. It reminds me of the craft beer culture that I am used to in the United States. Very knowledgeable, and friendly staff. They are constantly rotating quality beers both on the taps and in the cooler. The food here is...

My favorite bar in Kamata. Always the most friendly of people. Good selection of Italian and Japanese food cooked to order by their excellent chef. Good selection of wine and the owner brews his own beer which is always tasty. Smoking...
