Asahi Super Dry is a Japanese lager built around a dry concept: freshness, lightness and balance instead of malty weight. The taste is dry and crisp, without sweetness or heavy malt notes, leaving a clean feel on the palate. The body is light and the beer drinks easily. A delicate hop bitterness contrasts with the dryness and rounds the taste off, and the aroma is clean, with light malt and hop shades. Its neutral, refreshing taste makes Asahi a universal choice, above all with Japanese and Asian food: sushi and sashimi, yakitori, especially with teriyaki sauce, tempura of vegetables and seafood. It takes the heat out of pad thai and chicken in curry sauce, and works just as well with simple snacks — nuts, crisps, croutons — and light vegetable salads.
