Tokyo has a number of options for American meals, but the bayside ambience of the T. Y. Harbor Brewery makes eating an exclusive experience here. Nestled by the bay, T. Y. Harbor Brewery is actually one of the very few waterside restaurants of the city. The locale is such that one hardly gets to feel the din of the busy surrounding office district. If the weather permits, one can even have his food sprawling on the patio outside. With an excellent view to offer, the place also promises a splendid menu with European and Asian touches in the typically American dishes. T.Y. Harbor Brewery is designed as a typical California micro brewery. The place has been molded out of an old warehouse, and with new sparkling white walls, wooden furniture, and steel lighting units, the improvised construction is a delight to dine in. A light jazz music plays in the background, and candles are stuck on the tables and nooks to add to the magic. The dining room as a splendid collection of paintings and the walls often exhibit works of budding artists. With a steel bar top, marble tables, large glass windows and palms here and there, the bar is also cozy in its decors. The restaurant is a spacious place and the bar too has accommodation for a few dozens. The bar remains open seven days a week, pulling in most of the beer lovers of the city for its home brewed beer and wine. T. Y. Harbor Brewery has an exclusive collection of ales like:
- Tennoz Amber Ale, a North European-style ale with a bright golden blush
- Tennoz Honey Ale, an American-style liquor with a sweet whiff of honey
- Tennoz Maple Ale, a special variety made with mixture of dark malt and Canadian maple syrup
- Tennoz Porter, a London-style dark Porter brewed with roasted, unmalted barley flavor
- Tennoz Barley wine, a special ale available only on occasions How to Access T.Y. Harbor Brewery: Placed on the Tennozu Isle, the restaurant is a 20 minutes journey by the Tokyo monorail from Ginza or Roppongi. Address: 2-1-3 Higashi-shinagawa,
