Frommer's Review
The Asahi Beer Tower may not mean anything to you, but if I mention the building with the golden hops poised on top, you'll certainly know it when you see it (the building was designed by Philippe Starck). The Asahi Beer Tower is the high-rise beside the golden hops, looking like . . . a foaming beer mug? On the top floor (in the foam), this Italian restaurant has soaring walls and great views of Asakusa. It's a perfect perch from which to watch barges on the river or the sun set over Asakusa as you dine on everything from pizza to pasta to grilled scampi. The set lunches, which begin at ¥1,000 ($9.50) on weekdays and ¥1,800 ($17) on weekends and holidays, include an antipasto, salad, a main dish, and coffee. If you want a ringside seat, make a reservation at least 3 days in advance or avoid the weekends.
