History of Asahi Beer
Asahi is a beer originating in Japan, as it was the first to market its canned product. However, the brand's popularity declined in 1981. Concerned about this low share, managers examined the results of surveys and realized that the reason for the lack of success was that their beer was bad.
So Asahi decided to solve the problem and import the raw material from countries with a longer tradition of producing beer, so that they could have the best products and, in turn, send students to train outside the country. And as a result, Asahi Super Dry was born, its most international and successful product.
