Located under the Asahi HQ building. Great craft beer selection brewed onsite and some can't-go-wrong a la carte items that match your beer perfectly.

We visited here late morning, after a stroll around the area doing some shopping, and enjoying the winter sunshine. Crossing the bridge over the Sumida River we were naturally drawn to the gargantuan golden Asahi Flamme d’Or sitting atop the Asahi HQ building, and whilst taking photos headed over to take a closer look. It’s also cheekily known as 金のうんこ, which in slang terms is “the golden turd” hehehe.

Right next door is the Sumida River Brewing Company. So we stopped in for a rest and refreshment. This is like a brewpub - you have the big copper pot stills with a viewing window from the seating area as an interesting visual backdrop whilst you enjoy your brews. The walls are worn brick, and floor to ceiling windows let good light in.

I opted for a bitter stout which has the creamy nitro texture of an irish stout but more nutty flavours. A great drop. We also had some solid snacks from the menu. The raisin butter on crackers was a revelation, who knew that was gonna be good? Karaage you can never go wrong, and here was no exception, they were crispy and juicy, and finally the best snack was the sausage plate with a range of different sausages, some good wholegrain mustard, pickled ginger and bacon strips. Perfect beer accompaniment, and the reason we stayed here for more than just 1 beer.

If you are checking out the Asahi HQ, don’t miss this cool spot right next door.

Such a great spot…hidden gem, for sure! On the east side of the Sumida River Park under the Asahi building. Street level with great patio! Personal pizza was delicious. My friend had the burger, and said it was one of the best she’s had in Japan (and she lives here!) Craft beer flights were yummy, and they serve Peroni too! Kanpai 🍻

Craft beer restaurant run by Asahi Beer, located at the foot of the Asahi Beer headquarters building. The beer menu includes a wide variety of craft beers and seasonal beers. There is also a wide selection of dishes that go well with beer. The meat menu at this restaurant is highly recommended as the meat is juicy, tender, and very tasty. The portion sizes are large, so it would be good to go with a large group of people so you can eat a variety of foods.

Loved the flight - Kolsch , pale Ale , bitter stout & fragrant Weizen were excellent & smooth and easy.  Pleasant surprise finding this brewery and these fine beers on the riverside.
