RM Premium Spirits, the exclusive distributor of Asahi in Central Vietnam, has played a pivotal role in bringing this iconic Japanese beer to establishments from Quy Nhon to Dong Hoi, with a special emphasis on the bustling city of Da Nang.

Asahi in Da Nang: A New Flavor in the City

The History of Asahi: A Legacy of Innovation

To truly appreciate Asahi’s presence in Vietnam, it’s essential to understand the rich history behind this iconic brand. Asahi Breweries, the parent company of Asahi beer, has a storied past that dates back to the late 19th century.

The Birth of a Brewing Giant

Asahi’s journey began in 1889 when the Osaka Beer Company was established. This marked the beginning of a legacy that would span over a century and see the company evolve into one of Japan’s largest beverage producers. In 1892, the company introduced its first beer, setting the stage for decades of innovation and growth.

The Creation of Asahi Super Dry

The true game-changer for Asahi came in 1987 with the introduction of Asahi Super Dry. This revolutionary beer redefined the Japanese beer market and quickly became the country’s best-selling beer. The secret to its success lay in its unique brewing process, which resulted in a crisp, clean taste with a quick, dry finish – a stark contrast to the heavier lagers that dominated the market at the time.

Global Expansion and Recognition

Following the domestic success of Asahi Super Dry, the company set its sights on international markets. Throughout the 1990s and 2000s, Asahi expanded its presence globally, bringing its signature taste to beer lovers around the world. This expansion included strategic acquisitions and partnerships, further solidifying Asahi’s position as a global brewing powerhouse.

The Quality of Asahi: Craftsmanship in Every Sip

What sets Asahi apart, particularly its flagship Asahi Super Dry, is the unwavering commitment to quality and innovation. This dedication to excellence is now being enjoyed by beer enthusiasts in Vietnam, thanks to the distribution efforts of RM Premium Spirits.

Innovative Brewing Techniques

Asahi Super Dry is brewed using advanced Japanese brewing technology, which allows for precise control over the fermentation process. This technology, combined with carefully selected ingredients, results in the beer’s signature crisp taste and refreshing quality.

Premium Ingredients

The quality of Asahi begins with its ingredients. The beer is crafted using premium malts and hops, sourced to meet Asahi’s exacting standards. The use of high-quality rice as an adjunct contributes to the beer’s clean taste and dry finish, setting it apart from other lagers.

Asahi Super Dry is known for its distinctive flavor profile:

• Appearance: Clear, bright golden color with a frothy white head
• Aroma: Light, pleasant hoppy notes with a hint of grain
