Company Profile
Business description
Asahi is the largest brewer in Japan with a nearly 40% market share, led by its Asahi Super Dry beer brand.

Overseas markets accounted for over half of the company's revenue and close to 60% of operating profit, with Australia and Europe being two major markets.
