Each 330ml bottle of Asahi Super Dry is a delicate balance of quality yeast, malt, hops, maize and rice. Brewed with precision, the result is a rich, full-bodied beer. The refreshingly dry aftertaste complements either Western or Asian cuisine. No wonder it's Australia's preferred Japanese beer. Asahi Super Dry is a full-strength 5% ABV beer.

Asahi Soukai 3.5% Beer Case 24 x 330mL Bottles $39.94 - PDNST Expires 25/1

Asahi Super Dry Beer Case 5% 24 x 500ml Cans $62.04 - PDNST Expires 25/1

    "No wonder it's Australia's preferred Japanese beer" - it's made in Australia!

    Taste is unlike the Japanese brewed original (available in 500ml cans).
    Asahi Soukai was developed for Australian mid-strength taste & only sold here.

    CUB delivered a case of Japanese Asahi 500ml cans yesterday. But won't deliver here in these ebay Deals.

    Used a $20 referral code from Ozsale to bring price of 24 x 500ml down to $50 delivered. Much better value & taste.

      Yeah and I thought the made in China Asahi bottles were bad, the AU version makes it look good. Trading on name only - it is not Japanese SuperDry if in the bottles. It is flying pretty close to dishonesty IMHO.

      Do yourself a favour and only buy Asahi Super Dry in 500ml cans. It is made in Japan and is a great dry lager.

              @belongsinforums: Most Japanese food served here is referred to as "Foreign" food by traditional Japanese people.

              Most of our Sushi was developed & popularised in the USA ("California Roll") with ingredients like avocado not normally found in traditional Japanese food.

              Popular fried Japanese food was developed from Portuguese cooking. Though that was centuries ago, it's still discussed by Japanese I've met as "Foreign". It's eating isn't governed by eating practices (developed in the Edo period), that predate its introduction.

              Curry Rice is similarly "Foreign" (by convention, you shouldn't add anything to / pollute the rice). Ramen came from China, but most Japanese people don't seem to acknowledge that.

              Foreigners don't usually come across the strict rules governing eating in Japan, as they don't eat with traditional Japanese families, or their hosts make allowances for their lack of cultural awareness.

              In a remote Japanese village, I added soy sauce to my bowl of rice. Was met with gasps from the young Japanese at my breakfast table. I never did that again! Found out later that I had broken 2 rules of eating - polluting the rice farmers rice, and acting as only a poor person would - adding soup or sauce to the rice

              At Japanese burger chain Mos Burger, I've been greeted here by a Chinese person. But then I don't expect to be served by someone from the USA at US chains like KFC, Maccas, etc.

              But Okonomiyaki I've had here, with a sauce made with tomato sauce… That's just not acceptable at a "Japanese" restaurant!!

              The Japanese took their food with them to other Asian countries…
              Which became popular there. In S Korea, sashimi & other Japanese food is common & delicious.

              I've watched morning TV in Japan, where they show traditional Japanese food - served in other Asian countries. The Japanese are always shown as surprised their food can be just as good there. Sometimes the dish originated there!

              As it's popular here, it's not unexpected that people other than Japanese will set up "Japanese" restaurants here. There are usually more people here from other Asian countries than from Japan.

              It's just business. I don't care - as long as the food is delicious!

              • belongsinforums on 26/01/2022 - 12:22

                @INFIDEL: Yep. No issues here. Just pretty scummy to label your restaurant as authentic when it's at best a fusion restaurant. It's like how people see those Chinese restaurants in Australia shaped like buddhist temples and think that's where Chinese in Australia go to eat. It's sad because actually authentic Chinese food is god tier.

                • INFIDEL on 26/01/2022 - 12:29

                  @belongsinforums: Suburban Chinese restaurant food was my first experience dining out here as a child.

                  I thought it was authentic - as it was owned by people who had come from China. The sign said Chinese Restaurant. And each restaurant's food tasted the same. What more proof was needed?

                  Years later learnt Chinese food doesn't all come with a sweet sauce & pineapple🍍 It was just what Australians expected.

                  So the country of origin of the owners & staff doesn't mean an authentic food experience!

                  scummy to label your restaurant as authentic
                  Most of that idea of "authentic" is just in the minds of the customers.
                  It's portrayed by the decore more than in words, as in your example. Companies flying the largest Australian flag - are usually not Australian companies!

                  People here are complaining this isn't "authentic" Japanese beer…
                  The cartons only state "Japan's No1 beer" (referring to Asahi beer). In small print is bottled in Australia.
                  Hence my warning about this beer above.

                  It's simply 'buyer beware'!

      • INFIDEL on 26/01/2022 - 13:10

        How is it bloody legal for them to advertise it as q Japanese beer if it isn't remotely Japanese?

        You assumed this Asahi is a beer produced in Japan. They don't advertise or claim that.

        The cartons usually state "Japan's No1 beer" (referring to sales of Asahi beer in Japan). It doesn't state this is a beer bottled in Japan!

        On the bottom of the carton & on bottles is - bottled in Australia.

        I've asked its country of origin in a bottle shop. Staff read that logo on the carton as made in Japan. So you're not alone in your assumption!

        Asahi Super Dry certainly is a Japanese beer. But produced in many countries.

        Same as with other "Japanese" manufacturers of cars, electronics, etc. Sony or Honda products are generally thought of as Japanese, even if they aren't produced there.

        Fosters & XXXX are considered typical "Australian" beers overseas… Those cans litter the streets of UK - as it is produced there!

        The beer is made by a Japanese (multinational) company, to Japanese recipe, under licence / & now Asahi's ownership of CUB Brewery in Australia.

      I find the Australian made ones to be quite acceptable. Tastes a bit different, but still fairly light with an easy drinking but malty taste. I feel like if you added an aussie asahi to the mix of a Sapporo, kirin, or yebisu, it would fit in ok. Different, but still similar.

          • INFIDEL on 25/01/2022 - 13:49

            @belongsinforums: Is that "regular Asahi" the 500ml cans (Japanese brewed like the Black)?
            Can't compare with local "Asahi" bottles - inferior taste to Japan brewed.

            Based on options here of the Black & it's fairly high price, had high hopes. But unlike any good Black beer I've drunk.
            Hoped by the 18th bottle I'd like it… The combination of tastes with the Super Dry surprisingly repulsed me.

            So not necessarily a drink for Black Beer lovers like me. I'll stick with my half price Monteith's Black Beer & Japanese Asahi Super Dry. Have both on the fridge, waiting.

            Will wait for travel to Japan to return & enjoy another yebisu premium there. A little expensive for 350ml cans here.

            Received Japan brewed Asahi Super Dry case of 24 x 500ml delivered yesterday for $50 with referral code. Better value for higher quantity.

            • belongsinforums on 25/01/2022 - 14:26

              @INFIDEL: there's a little taiwanese supermarket under the XY hot pot in market square that stocks some Japanese beers, including Yebisu. I have seem them discounted on short dates before. and yes, i prefer asahi black over regular japanese asahi. personally i rate asahi at the near bottom of japanese draft beers, with perhaps only orion below it (though orion on tap in okinawa is delicious as long as it's ice cold)

              • INFIDEL on 25/01/2022 - 14:29

                @belongsinforums: The Asahi Super Dry is just my everyday beer, at a reasonable price. Wouldn't rate it that highly, but easy to drink ice cold in the heat. (It reminds me of many trips to Japan.)

                As a Black beer - the Asahi Super Dry Black just isn't up to Black beer tastes for me. So I wouldn't recommend it.
                I've drunk many Black beers over many years - longer than the decade of drinking Asahi Super Dry.

                Know Market Square. Will check it out.
                Genk Mart in Brisbane has had Japanese imports. Buying beer at grocery stores also requires grocery purchase by law.

                At present, a $50 cartonsl of Japanese 500ml Asahi Super Dry delivered free suits me. Still have 3 cases.
                Have a few cases of imported Black beer (bought half price).

                Will look forward to better beers when I return to Japan, someday🎏

          • opposablethumbs on 25/01/2022 - 14:13

            @belongsinforums: Agreed - in the mass market Japanese beers, worth paying just a bit more for Yebisu (if in Japan, as way too pricey here).

            IMHO, the Sapporo Black Label is not too far off the Yebisu in quality and flavour, at same price point as Asahi, Kirin or Suntory regulars and local version of it (brewed under licence by Coopers here in Oz) doesn't do too bad a job of emulating the original and frequently at $50/carton on sale.

            Also agree that you shouldn't let friends drink bottled Asahi, unless it's out of a 500mL can made in Japan.

          I wont ever go back to mediocre Asahi Super Dry Black!

          Bought this Black beer based on only positive opinions here. For me it was a horrible tasting Black beer & a waste of my money.

          That's why I am suggesting it's not for everyone.
          Seems any different opinion is not to be allowed? That's not helpful.

          As a long time drinker of Black beers (& Asahi Super Dry), it lacks the qualities of a good tasting Black beer.

          I'll stick with good Black beers & Asahi Super Dry etc, but not effectively a type of shandy made of the two.

      Asahi (one of largest international brewers) bought CUB, so not surprising that beers out of same factory might taste similar.

      Asahi developed the local Soukai here for local tastes. Sold no where else.

      Prefer the Japanese brew (in 500ml cans here)!

      • opposablethumbs on 25/01/2022 - 14:29

        Not sure if still the case, but for a very long time Kirin had a malt factory in Perth, sourcing barley from the WA wheatbelt.

        It accounted for about 70% of their total malt production and they also on-sold their malt to most of the other major brewers in Japan.

        Therefore, for a long time a large percentage of one of major basic ingredients for most Japanese beer was actually derived from WA.

        Given the size of Japan and the relatively low total barley production capacity compared to beer output, by definition a large amount of Japanese brewers must source their malt from outside Japan. Difference is probably in the very stringent quality and uniformity standards that most Japanese manufacturers are famous for applying to their suppliers.

        • INFIDEL on 25/01/2022 - 14:48

          Interesting. Makes sense to malt (to their standards) where the fresh barley is plentiful, then transport & store it as needed.

          Rice farmer friend in Japan surprised me with his knowledge of Australian agriculture market conditions.
          As most food is imported & many staple foods are made with Australian grains, changes in our grain prices affects grocery prices in Japan.

          Japanese food production standards usually demand high quality ingredients.
          Our very different type of rice is rejected as only suitable for industrial purposes. Agriculture in Japan is very different, linked to ancient ways. Some can tell the small region in Japan where the rice they are eating was grown. Here we rarely know it's country of origin.

      • seerious on 25/01/2022 - 15:45

        Asahi developed the local Soukai here for local tastes. Sold no where else.

        Which I don't really grasp. They already have the Carlton brand catering to those tastes.

        People buy "premium" imported beer looking for something different. Now it's just CD in a fancier bottle.

        • INFIDEL on 25/01/2022 - 16:13

          Soukai (a mid-strength beer) was launched here 5 years before the 2020 acquisition of CUB. Around time Schweppes was incorporated into local Asahi operation.

          Was bottled Asahi Super Dry considered "premium" when it was imported from China??
          Most commenting on OzBargain at the time wouldn't agree!

          Imported doesn't equate with "premium". Now these are just another local beer.

    I had very bad experience with this ebay seller. I ordered a box of beer at end of Nov 2020, then I went on a holiday, when I came back for couple of months, realise they never sent out the beer. Messaged them more than 20 messages, no response at all, no refund, nothing. Reached out to ebay customer support, they told me that it has passed 3 months, that they can't help. Please note this is not that the parcel is lost, it's that they never sent the goods.
    Really really disappointed with Ebay service and this seller.

      has passed 3 months,

      A bit too long to follow up.

        Yes, but they never sent the goods, why they did not refund?

        It happened with me as well. Ordered some products whose shipping times were close to 2-3 months. Then one of the eBay accounts disappeared and others couldn't lodge a claim as deadline passed. In OP's case, it doesn't matter 3 months or 6 months. If it isn't shipped (or isn't delivered to customer), customer is entitled to refund.

        A company of this scale should learn something from Amazon AU. Although Amazon AU is not very good here compared to other countries, but still way ahead of other online retailers in terms of shipping, refunds and customer satisfaction.

    Good way to annoy your retail customers. Sell it direct for cheaper. They must be desperate or old stock.
