TOKYO —
Here are some cool beer accessories from Tokyu Hands, ever the emporium of things you never knew you needed but suddenly have to have. There, you can find some beer supplements to convert your measly cans into foamy works of art. These draft-beer-on-the-go contraptions come in different guises (and prices). The Beer Smoother (735 yen) is a nozzle that clamps onto your can and enables some creamy pour. More upmarket is the Bubble Master (2,980 yen), which magically squirts bubbles into flat beer to froth it up good. Tomy’s Throat-Smoothing Beer Foamer (1,995 yen) looks like an industrial stapler and wraps round the can in order to work its bubbly magic.
Finally get one- or two-liter beer kegs and administer the golden stuff with the Beer Party Value Set, for just two bills (1,995 yen). All available from Tokyu Hands.

But why would beer be flat? It has foam and bubbles when you open in. This is weird.

Drink your beer quickly and it'll never go flat.

Why people even want a lot of foam on beer is beyond me. 1cm is more than enough.

@MrDog
Not "foam". It's "head".
You don't like a head on your beer? I suspect you are a southerner. A Londoner even.

South as in Osaka perhaps. Those stingy folks will return a beer with head on it and tell the server they ordered and paid for beer, not foam.

Nah. "South" as in Epsom, Bristol, Billericay, Birmingham and Manchester. All those horrible places....

Since when has Osaka been classed as "South"?? Unless you mean the South area of Osaka.
There's a good English pub near where I live in Kanagawa, that gives you headless beer.

If you don't want to get screwed out of a third of your nama beer at your friendly izakaya, ask the server to give you one that's "awa nashi". If they are kind, you'll get one right to the top of the mug. If they can't figure it out, you'll get one without any head and a third less beer in the mug.

English beer is flat. Boring. Also warm. Not good.
Japanese beer is great, but the head is too high. I tell them I am allergic, and get the beer full to the top.
This beer gasses thing is not for me.

Horrible idea... I agree with paulinusa, if you don't babysit your beer, you won't need to buy this rediculous product.
