What comes mind when you think of Japanese beer? Have you ever heard of Asahi? It’s one of the popular Japanese beer companies.
Asahi
The most popular beer from Asahi is “Asahi Super Dry”! Have you tried it before?
Asahi Super Dry has a light, refreshing taste with a crisp finish. The aftertaste is super dry! And it doesn’t taste sweet at all. It’s called “Karakuchi” in Japanese. Asahi has unique brewing method. It enhances its sharp and refreshing taste. Asahi Super Dry is not sweet nor bitter. It has light hop aroma. It might be a most well-known beer in Japan.
Asahi Nama Beer
One of the great beers from Asahi is Asahi Nama Beer, commonly known as “maruefu”. It’s mild and mellow flavor. It has also been loved for many years in Japan. Maruefu is carefully brewed, and it features a smooth texture, mild taste and just the right amount of bitterness.
Asahi Black Nama Beer
Asahi Black Nama Beer is a stout. Characterized by the roasted aroma of malt, it offers a mild taste with a little bit of sweetness.
Incidentally Japanese people don’t enjoy stout so much, but Asahi Black Nama Beer is easy to drink even for Japanese people thanks to the hint of sweetness.
One-Third
One-Third is a canned beer that is mixed Maruefu and Asahi Black Nama Beer in a 2:1 ratio. It’s a perfect blend of smoothness of Maruefu and the roasted aroma of Asahi Black Nama Beer. You must be surprised of its perfect taste when you taste it. The foam of the beer is rich as if it’s a cream as well. Have you ever tasted smooth but roasted beer before?
It’s sold some limited area in Japan and it’s a limited time product. It could be a miracle if you encounter it!?
Let’s check more Maruefu information out in my article below if you could.
