If you’re a craft beer enthusiast looking to explore the best of American brews in Tokyo, Antenna America at Shinagawa Station is a must-visit. Nestled in the Atre shopping complex, this bar and retail space serves up a carefully curated selection of American craft beers—IPAs, sours, stouts, and more—all on tap and available for purchase to-go. The concept, which started as a collaboration between Yokohama’s Nagano Trading Co. and several American breweries, has become a go-to spot for both locals and expats craving quality brews that are hard to find elsewhere in Japan.
The Vibe and Location
Antenna America’s Shinagawa location is bright, modern, and approachable—making it an ideal spot to unwind after work or to start an evening out. With a mix of bar seating and standing tables, it has a welcoming, community-focused atmosphere that’s great for socializing. The location within Shinagawa Station’s complex is convenient, meaning you can pop in for a quick pint or grab a couple of cans on your way home.
What to Drink and Ordering Tips
Antenna America takes great pride in offering some of the freshest American craft beers in Japan. They ensure that each beer is shipped from the U.S. under strict conditions to maintain its quality meaning it never gets warm or exposed to light during the shipping process. This dedication to freshness allows beer enthusiasts in Tokyo to enjoy U.S. brews in their prime state, often better than you could find in some parts of the U.S. itself.
What’s unique about Antenna America is that you can find beers from small, regional breweries that don’t distribute widely, even within the U.S. For example, it’s possible to try limited-release IPAs from Massachusetts' Trillium Brewing or seasonal sours and stouts from Modern Times and the Bruery that you’d have a hard time finding outside the West Coast. This makes Antenna America an adventure for craft beer lovers who want to taste rare American beers without flying back to the States.
While the bar doesn’t have a full kitchen, they do offer small bites like pretzels and nuts ...perfect for grabbing a quick snack if you’re boarding the Shinkansen (Bullet Train). If you’re looking for something more substantial, explore the food court surrounding the bar, which includes a variety of options from sushi and udon to sandwiches. One recommendation is the yakitori stall just around the corner, where you can pick up skewers to complement your beer.
Why You Should Go

Whether you’re heading south to Kyoto or west to Hiroshima, this bar is perfectly positioned to help you stock up on some of the best American brews.
