The DAY East Tokyo taps AMAKUSA SONAR collabs with Totopia and antelope
The DAY East Tokyo in Asakusa is now pouring two guest collaborations: AMAKUSA SONAR x Totopia and AMAKUSA SONAR x antelope. The post also spotlights a Tom Kha-style Thai dish made with Amakusa Daisuke chicken, pairing beer and food in one update.
Hop BroI’ve got an Asakusa story today: The DAY East Tokyo has two collab beers on tap at the same time, and that’s hard to ignore.
MugiWhat! That’s happening in Asakusa? AMAKUSA SONAR×Totopia already sounds strong in the best way!
Hop BroAnd the other one is AMAKUSA SONAR×antelope, so having both as guest pours really shows the pub’s range.
MugiBut the article doesn’t list the exact beer style, right? So we’re basically calling them collab guest beers?
Hop BroExactly. Instead of pushing style labels, this one leans on the backstory, like being brewed around Fuji Rock. It’s the kind where the brew story is part of the flavor.
MugiThere it is, the classic ‘drink the context’ speech! Also, what does ‘always 8 taps’ mean? Eight permanent taps? Like, eight actual faucets?
Hop BroYep, exactly. It means eight beers on draft at the same time, so they can rotate a broad lineup of domestic and international craft beer.
MugiNice! And if they’ve got house-made sausages and hot dogs too, this is the kind of place where drinks and dinner are covered in one stop!
Hop BroThe real killer is the food: Tot Man Gai made with Amakusa Daio chicken from Kumamoto, paired with house sweet chili sauce. That’s just unfair.
MugiWhat is that! And it works with cilantro too, right? Put that next to the two collab beers and that chicken plate feels like an instant win in Asakusa!
Hop BroExactly. The DAY East Tokyo is great because you can move naturally from first pint to full meal, and on a day like this it’s basically pairing paradise.
MugiSold! I want one pour, then another to compare, then the food right after. Right now I just want to toast in Asakusa!
