For the best experience, Asahi Super Dry should be served very cold. Pour it into a clean glass, allowing a small amount of foam to form.

It can also be a refreshing accompaniment to lighter fare or enjoyed as a standalone beverage during casual get-togethers. Some chefs also use it in marinades for meats or in sauces to add a subtle depth of flavor.
