Asahi Super Dry is Japan’s number one beer — and a genuinely original one. Born from curiosity and inspired by sake to look at beer differently, Asahi’s brewers designed the Karakuchi taste: a delicate yet rich, full-flavoured body that follows through with a dry, crisp, and quick clean finish unlike anything else in the lager world. Brewed with rice and malted barley — the same foundation as American lagers, but with the distinctly Japanese precision and higher carbonation that necessitates the drier finish Asahi is famous for. Pale golden and straw in colour, with a bright white foam and subtle aroma. Karakuchi. Japan’s No.1. Since 1987.
Tasting Notes
Appearance
Pale golden to straw — the bright, luminous colour of a Japanese rice lager with high carbonation, topped with a bright white foam that speaks to the precision and quality of Asahi’s brewing process.
Aroma
Subtle and clean — the delicate, refined aroma of a rice lager brewed with malted barley, with the light, fresh character that makes Asahi Super Dry one of the most approachable and refreshing beers in the world.
Palate
Delicate yet rich and full-flavoured — the Karakuchi taste delivering a body of genuine character and depth before the high carbonation drives the beer to its signature dry, crisp finish. Light in colour, full in flavour, and unmistakably Japanese in its precision and restraint.
Pairs With
The perfect companion for sushi, sashimi, tempura, grilled chicken, and any occasion that calls for a clean, refreshing beer of genuine quality — equally at home at a Japanese restaurant or a backyard barbecue. Karakuchi. Crisp. Clean.
Finish
Dry, crisp, and quick — the clean, refreshing close that defines the Karakuchi taste and has made Asahi Super Dry Japan’s number one beer. A finish that makes every sip an invitation for another.
