Craft Beer Bar Staff

Hello r/tokyo !

My name is John and I am the general manager at a small craft beer bar in the heart of Tokyo.

As the franchise looks to expand, we are on the lookout for great bar staff with English and Japanese skills.

If you are living in Tokyo, have some extra time and would like to get into the booming craft beer scene in Japan, send me a message!

You can find more information about the bar here or can look into the brewery here.

If you would feel more comfortable to inquire outside of Reddit, please feel free to use our form here.

If you have any questions or comments, I will do my best to reply to them here.

The Brimmer Beer Box is the best! Awesome craft brew in an environment that feels like a secret hideout. The shop next to it has great fried chicken, which makes for a perfect pairing.

Cheers for the review! The fried chicken place is called いろから and I admit, I have gained so much weight thanks to their delicious nibblies of dead bird. I highly recommend the 梅しそ flavor, goes well with the Pale Ale*

(*Note: This is my personal opinion. All of their chicken is pretty kick-ass)

All of our draft beer are a little less than a US Pint. You should come in soon because our current Specialty (Northern California Common) is about to change (sorry, can't specify what's next yet).

*Edit: If that is too small for you, we also have a 2 liter pitcher for 3,000JPY available.

I've been twice, it's a decent size for a craft beer.

Yeah, we do try to offer our customers a great value.

Hope you can come back to the Box soon!

A bunch of mates and I are headed to Tokyo in a month for a few weeks and we're all huge craft beer fans (coming from Australia). If I can figure out how to get there from Shinjuku, we'll stop in for sure!

johnmasterofOP•

From Shinjuku, head down to Shibuya, get on the Ginza line and get off at Omotesando. Get out at the A4 exit, turn right towards the intersection and turn right again. Go down that road and you should see us on the right of the road about 300m (that is a lot of "rights").

If you have any issues getting there, feel free to PM me.

Cheers!

Wow thanks for the directions! We'll be in Japan for a month so I'll try and get there sometime between the 4th-12th of December. Cannot wait to get on the jibiru/craft beer train in Tokyo!

Thanks mate!

Sounds good pub. I'll swing by for a beer. Oh and good luck on the job.

Thanks for the comment! I look forward to seeing you pop in one day in the near future.

If you may know anyone who might be interested, please pass this info on.

Again, see you soon and thanks!

I've been following this bar on social media for a while. I always enjoy the stuff you guys put out. I'm glad the craft beer scene is growing in Tokyo. I'll have to stop by soon when I'm in that part of the city

Hi Nacho!

I am the guy doing all of those wonderfully cheesy videos and stuff you enjoy (I hope, anyway, haha).

Come by when you can and keep in touch.

1
nachosteez•

Haha that's you?! Keep it up :) I live in Chiba so it's quite of a trek, but I'll make sure to make a day of it soon. I would say I'm interested in applying since I'm a big fan of craft and even brewed some in college with friends, but my Japanese is not up to par.

1
johnmasterofOP•

Yeah, my video editing skills suck but it's fun to learn, try new things, and apply what I can do to new things. To be honest, I challenge myself to finish editing and publishing our content within an hour OR finish whilst I pour beers.

Hey dude! Had a chat with you the other... month... about this it the box in Aoyama. Best of luck, your brews are much better than the usually available stuff in town.

johnmasterofOP•

Aww shucks, thanks for the compliments. Hope to see you soon.

Were you guys featured on the Vice Episode on Craft Beers in Japan? I will be moving to Tokyo from Seattle in January will definitely be checking you guys out. Can't wait.

1
johnmasterofOP•

Yes we were. That was me in the interview as well. You should check out our Facebook page for some... interesting ... videos.

Any place for a college student with no bar staff experience but loves trying out craft beer and wants to see it flourish here (and is willing to learn)?

johnmasterofOP•

Of course, please send me a PM

I have yet to try the Beer Box, but certainly will do so one of these days!

I've toured a few craft beer breweries in Japan and I was wondering if tours of the brewery in Kawasaki-shi are available?

1
johnmasterofOP•

They are and they aren't. I can't really say since I work with the holdings company, not the brewery directly. I would recommend you give them a call and ask. Usually they can allow a visit or two during the slower winter months but Brimmer Brewing seems to not be slowing down this year.
