Vector Beer Factory

One of the two Vector Beer places in Shinjuku. The two restaurant beer bars are two door down from each other.
«Vector Beer»: Bigger place. Larger tables. Specialty is beef tongue
«Vector Beer Factory»: Smaller place with many counter seats. Specialty is IPA and meat.
10 years ago, finding a decent IPA in Japan was very difficult. There were some, but enjoying it in draft at a restaurant was near impossible. These days, more and more craft beer specialty bars are popping up. This is the first restaurant that I know of that focused on IPA.
BEER: 750 Yen for a pint is a great deal in Tokyo. Many charge over 1000 Yen per pint, so this is a steal. On the day I went, they carried 17 different beers on tap. All domestic Japanese breweries. While a good portion were IPAs, they also carried some non-​IPA as well.
FOOD: So, so. I feel really bad saying this, because the chef was right in front of my counter seat diligently cooking the dishes. He looked skillful and competent. However, I just wasn’t too crazy with items I tried.
Buffalo Wings: Forget it. These are NOT buffalo wings. They should call it sweet and sour chicken.
Roasted duck: I don’t recommend this dish. Meat quality was poor. Flavoring was too salty.
Table Charge: 300 Yen per person.
Cost on my last visit: One beer and some food for 3000 Yen.
