I got home from a trip back to New England and I got a taste of some fall beers. Now I miss them more than I have in the past 4 years.
Does anyone know of any bars or stores that may sell, preferably American, fall beers in the Tokyo/Yokohama area? I love Pumpkinhead Ale from Shipyard Brewing Co. but have had other fall beers and I like them too.
Any information would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

No idea if they do specific seasonal beers but the 7/11 inside the Hammerhead building in Minato Mirai has a pretty epic selection of American craft beers. Other than that, aeon liquor is pretty good or Antenna America (and be poor).
Antenna America would be an obvious place to start. There’s also Liquors Hasegawa on the Yaesu side of Tokyo Station.
Check out Beer-ma in either Kanda or Kitasenju. Huge selection
**3 answers**:
1) Search `craft beer` in google maps, go to nearest location
2) **Antenna America** – they have outposts in Tokyo and Yokohama, they are the storefront for Nagano Trading, which mostly imports West Coast beer.
3) **SouthBound** – in Yokohama (near hinodecho station), they are the storefront for Cardinal Trading, which mostly imports East coast and southern craft beer.
Best of luck!
PS: keep in mind that it takes 1-3 months to ‘import’ anything (depending on whether its by plane or by ship), so there will be a delay.
There’s a store called ‘Yamaya’. has many many kinds … not terribly expensive
Either go to the main importers places, like Antenna America, or go to Tanakaya in Mejiro.
https://hopbudsnagoya.com/ American owner, great beer selection & they sell online.
Sanity in Sangenjaya has a good selection.
Very surprised no one has mentioned Tanakaya in Mejiro. That place is heaven on earth.
If you are not too picky, you`ll find some at OK super-markets too. I love their imported German Weissbier. Also remember seeing Budweiser there.
As others have said, Antenna America, Tanakaya, Beer-Ma (expensive but maybe the best selection) are go-to places for import craft beer for me. Not mentioned yet, but with a good selection though not as extensive as the above places: Titans in Otsuka.
Yokohama has [this](https://japantoday.com/category/features/food/Paradise-for-beer-lovers-Yokohama-conbini-has-over-300-different-kinds-of-beer).
You can get some foreign beers shipped to your home from [this company](https://cardinaltrading.jp/).
