Cool your summer with Asahi Draft Specials at Murasaki
Great Flavours are created with Good pairings.
Cool your summer with our Asahi Draft specials, where you can enjoy a pint of Asahi Draft for only $6 on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays.
Served in a chilled glass, Asahi is Japan’s most iconic lager. Known for its crisp, refreshing taste and signature karakuchi (dry) finish, it’s clean, light, and perfectly balanced. Each sip opens with a subtle citrus-barley note and ends with a smooth dry finish — the perfect companion to sushi, sashimi, tempura, and grilled dishes.
Here are some of the dishes for your satisfying pairing experiences to try next time when you are in Port Moody.
Calamari
Crispy Appetizer Favourites
Golden and crunchy, some of our batter-fried appetizers and beer are a match made in heaven. Pair your Asahi Draft with crispy calamari or chicken karaage for a burst of crunch and a refreshing finish in every bite.
Chicken Yaki Tori
Yaki Skewers – The Quintessential Beer Pairing
Beer and skewers are the ultimate izakaya classic. At Murasaki, our yakitori offering includes classic chicken yaki tori, smoky pork belly, and savoury all-veggie skewers, char-grilled with teriyaki sauce.
Sweet Potato Tempura
Tempura & Beer – A Summer Classic
Our batter-fried crispy tempuras, like assorted tempura or prawn tempura, pair effortlessly with Asahi’s light, dry finish. It’s the kind of refreshing combination that makes you want to dip again and sip again — especially while summer’s still here.
Assorted Sashimi A
Rich & Refreshing: Sashimi and Asahi
Fatty sashimi slices, like Salmon or Tuna Toro or Hamachi Sashimi, go great with Asahi. The dry and crisp taste of the beer cleanses your palate between smooth and rich sashimi bites, making the rich fish taste even fresher.
Oyako Don
Comfort food Meets refreshing: Katsu, Donburi & Curry
À la carte hot dishes pair beautifully with Asahi Draft for a satisfying dinner: Donkatsu plate and Donburi’s full and savoury taste profile call for refreshing beer sips. Our Japanese curry bowls also perfectly balance the warmth and richness of the curry, turning every bite into an enjoyable ensemble.
Chashu Ramen
Noodle Soups – mini home spa
Warm bowls of udon or ramen noodle soups = incredibly satisfying. The contrast of hot broth and chewy noodles with crisp, cold Asahi is the kind of balance that feels like a home-spa experience for your taste buds.
Scallop Tempura Roll
refreshers for your Special Rolls
From Spicy Tuna rolls and Yam Tempura rolls to signature creations like the Red Dragon roll or Scallop Tempura roll, every roll finds its perfect companion, Asahi Draft’s refreshing finish. Treat it like the pickled ginger; the beer refreshes your palate in between the bites, so you can keep enjoying bold flavours of your favourite rolls in multifolds without feeling overwhelmed.
