Leaving Asia & want my own Narita Asahi Beer Machine
Where can I buy an Asahi beer machine!!!
The great Asian roller coaster ride ends soon after 12 years of fun. One of the things I'll miss is the amazing Asahi beer machines in the RCC at Narita. Even if it's 10am I'll demonstrate its wonders to a companion. Retirement would be so much better if I had my own machine but I cannot figure out where to buy one.

By the way, this is the United Forum....

And I am a United flyer! Only see the machines at the United Lounges in Narita, though they might be other places.
Was in Tokyo for 5 years, China for the last 7. Am going to Tokyo Janurary 2015 so figured it was my big chance to score one. Thanks for the tips, I'll be checking them out.

Where this discussion is more about a product which is made in Japan vs a true United issue (even tho the beer machine in question is located in the United Club at NRT), I'm going to move this thread over to the Japan forum

I assume it's the fully automatic beer server. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vCV9Ha0zCTU
They can also be found in ANA and JAL lounges, for instance.
Used ones going for ~100,000 yen on those sites mentioned above.
New ones you go to the kitchen supply wholesale stores at Kappabashi (Tokyo) or Sennichimae Doguyasuji (Osaka).

Thank you everyone! For moving my post to a more appropriate forum Jeesh, I've been on flyer talk since 2006 & didn't realize there was a Japan forum. Gotta take off my blinders...
And especially thank you for the links & tips. I'll be staying a few nights in Asakusa this January & will hop over to Kappa Bashi to pick one up. Any wholesaler in particular I should visit?

Not just at airline lounges at NRT, but I see those beer machines at izakaya in Japan.
I do not know a lot about those beer machines, but I am guessing that it attaches to a keg of beer. It is possible that the keg attachments in your home country is different from the keg attachments in Japan.

Those toilets are likely by TOTO, largest toilet maker in Japan. TOTO does business in the U.S. and you can buy it in the U.S.
