The Golden Turd!

If you take the Ginza line from end to end, you’ll begin in Shibuya (yum yum!) and end in Asakusa. Not Akasaka, which I’ve had a horrible habit of confusing the two.

You can tell you’re in Asakusa because:

#1: There’s a river. Neat.

#2: The oldest western style tavern (since 1891) is here.

#3: You can see the Phillipe Starck designed “golden turd” when you come up from the subway and look towards the bridge.

That’s supposed to be the foamy head on a beer. Hey, it was made in the Bubble Era.

Actually it’s called the Asahi Dry Golden Beer Hall or something like that. There’s a couple of restaurants inside but nothing like the Yebisu Beer Museum that I went to on my first visit here.
