This month, Japan's number one beer brand Asahi and modern izakaya Zuma will introduce the city to a trendy Japanese 'Yokocho' experience. From October 21 until the end of the year, Zuma's terrace will transform into Japan's Yokocho (hidden alleyways packed with small izakayas, bars, and eateries mostly found in Tokyo and Osaka), where guests can sample delicious bites and refreshing drinks from a special menu inspired by Asahi Super Dry's Karakuchi taste and its sake inspired origin. Guests can enjoy a sake-Asahi beer pairing and nibble on dishes that include robatayaki skewers, home-made Japanese pickles ($90), rock shrimp tempura with chilli mayonnaise ($150), as well as a selection of robatayaki grilled nibbles such as lamb skewers with spicy hatcho miso ($130), Hokkaido scallops with Ume Boshi butter and sea urchin ($280).
If you're a shutterbug like the rest of us, you'll have fun snapping away on all the Instagrammable spots in the pop-up adorned with dimly-lit red lanterns, neon lights, and a special Tokyo bike display. Sit on tailor-made bar tables crafted from red beer crates or get a spot under the shades of maple trees and enjoy a drinking experience like a Japanese local.
