We would like to respond to the inquiries you have made:
• Does Asahi contain any animal-based ingredients (e.g., dairy, eggs, honey)?
• Are any animal-based materials (e.g., isinglass, gelatin) used in the production process?
⇒ Currently, we do not use any animal-derived ingredients in our beer and happoshu (low-malt beer).
However, according to the Liquor Tax Act, some animal-derived materials, such as oysters and bonito flakes, are permitted as additives.
Regarding whether animal-derived materials are used in equipment or processes, we cannot disclose this information as it is proprietary knowledge.
• Does Asahi produce any products under license outside of Japan?
⇒ We do produce Asahi Super Dry and other products overseas as well.
• Is there a possibility that Asahi may not be vegan-friendly due to differences in the production process?
⇒ Our company does not manufacture products specifically intended to be vegan-friendly.
We apologize for not being able to provide more helpful information despite your inquiry, and we ask for your understanding. We have shared your feedback with the relevant departments.
We are committed to making continuous efforts to offer products that bring joy to as many people as possible.
