Apparently every year there is an event held in Asagaya, Asagaya Nomiya Matsuri, designed to get people visiting the areas many restaurants and bars. There are one, two day and three day passes-this year the festival spans May 10-12. The pass allows the wearer to get a free beverage (usually from a special menu) at participating shops. This is the ticket center on Star Road.
I started out with the know at craft beer bar Wash1n with a glass of Coredo Marihana.
Next up Oolong hai (shochu and ice tea) with some moyashi namaru at Tochan, a yakitori shop.
Upstairs from Wash1n, Robata Fu Fu Fu, is where I had some nihonshu, Hitakami from Miyagi.
Then onto an izakaya, Shosai Hanahi where a draft beer was the choice.
This street on the south side of the station is like a mini Golden Gai (Shinjuku)-full of small bars and restaurants.
Another Ooloing hai at Sayaban (garlic shochu in the background).
Deep fried shrimp to go with the drink Kushiaki Tochan.
Star Road-next to the train tracks.

My local bottle shop, Mitsuya was also on the bill with small glasses of drat, Edilpils this night.

On the north side we stopped at Public, which had a younger, hipper clientele-good times.
