Asahi Soukai

Soukai

There is something new from the land of the rising sun, Asahi in Japan has brought us something else to quench our thirst over summer (in Australia), Asahi Soukai.

Asahi is known by its flagship beer Asahi Super Dry, they have taken that concept and created a weaker low carb version.

Soukai, meaning ‘refreshing’ is a fresh, new take on beer drinking.

I bought a 6-pack to sample and was pleased with the product.

A re-enactment

Even though it is only 3.5% it still gives you a buzz while keeping you more level headed than most standard beers.

This looks like a good party!

This is what the website has to say about their product:

“Asahi Soukai delivers a clean, smooth taste that embodies the sophisticated, Japanese way of life whilst still retaining that unmistakable refreshing, crisp Asahi Super Dry taste. Born of Asahi Super Dry, Asahi Soukai is an easy-to-drink, non-filling, sessionable beer, expertly brewed using quality Japanese brewing techniques. Asahi Soukai is light in colour and alcohol, with a body that has a clean, refreshing taste, with a slight bitter note that provides a balanced flavour, while its effervescent sparkle acts as a great thirst quencher.” http://www.asahipremiumbeverages.com/our-brands/asahi-soukai/

Pretty ordinary packaging

I’m a big fan of flashy, colourful labels, the plain white labelling of this product is a bit disappointing but then I think about where I lived in Hokkaido – it snowed there for about 5-6 months a year. With that in mind, white is a pretty normal colour for Japan.

If you are after something new and different to try then give this a go!
