The new Asahi Super Dry packaging has been unveiled by the brand with a cherry blossom-themed aesthetic that will have fans of the brand longing for the upcoming season.
The beer has been announced in unison with the Sakura no Utage (Cherry Blossom Banquet) beer that is a new addition to the Clear Asahi happoshu (low-malt beer) lineup. The various beers come in bottles and cans respectively, and have been emblazoned with the imagery of the iconic cherry blossom to make them the perfect libation to pick up in anticipation of spring.
The new Asahi Super Dry packaging design is set to start hitting the shelves before the end of the month but only for a limited time.
