“I’ve never been been able to figure out what this is since I saw it…”

you’re talking about the Asahi Flame! It’s definitely one of the quirky sights in Tokyo. Originally, it’s meant to represent the burning heart of Asahi beer, but lots of locals and visitors fancy it looks more like a giant golden poop! Because of that, it’s humorously nicknamed the “Poop Building.” But if you want to sound a bit more posh calling it, you might use “Golden Nimbus Cloud” instead. It’s right near Asakusa, so you can check it out when you visit Senso-ji Temple. It’s quite a sight, really!
