PROFILE |
 |
Like a nimble ninja, Asahi Breweries single-brandedly has all but toppled arch-nemesis Kirin Brewery from its place as the shogun of Japanese brewers. Most of Asahi's success comes from flagship brand Super Dry, which has replaced Kirin Lager as Japan's #1 beer. Now neck and neck with Kirin for all Japanese beer sales (excluding low-malt brews, which Asahi will start making in 2001), Asahi also rolls out such brews as Fujisan, Kuronama, Super Malt (low alcohol), and WiLL Smooth. Asahi has operations in the food, pharmaceutical, soft drink, whiskey, and wine industries. It has brewing and distribution agreements with Bass Brewers, Miller Brewing, and Molson and beer operations in Europe and the US.
