Asahi Recipe

Chill glass (optional)

If you prefer a colder pour, place the pilsner or beer glass in the refrigerator for 20–30 minutes before serving. Do not freeze the glass — a very cold, slightly frosted glass will dull aroma and carbonation.

If using a room-temperature glass, rinse it quickly with cold water right before pouring. This removes dust and helps preserve the beer’s head and carbonation.

Open the bottle or can of Asahi Super Dry. Hold the glass at a 45° angle and begin pouring the beer slowly down the inside of the glass so it flows gently. Stop when the glass is about three-quarters full.

Tilt the glass upright and finish pouring down the center to create a 1/2–1 inch (12–25 mm) creamy head. Adjust pour speed to manage foam — too fast creates excessive foam, too slow reduces head formation.

If you prefer your beer extra cold and lightly diluted (common in some Asian serving styles), add up to 1/2 cup of chilled ice to the glass before pouring. Pour slowly to minimize splashing and disruption of carbonation.

Optionally, present with a lemon wedge on the rim. If using the lemon, lightly squeeze and drop the wedge into the beer or offer it for the guest to squeeze — a small amount of citrus will brighten the flavor but is not traditional with Asahi Super Dry.

Place the glass on a coaster and serve immediately. Enjoy responsibly.
