As part of its new Seeking the Unique campaign, Asahi Super Dry partnered with internationally acclaimed Canadian chef Susur Lee to launch Super Dry Ramen, which launches as part of a series of hidden Tokyo Nights experiences across Toronto and Vancouver. The limited-edition Asahi Super Dry x Susur Lee Super Dry Ramen reinvents a classic comfort meal through the lens of Japan's number one beer, and a select group will win a seat at a table with chef Susur Lee for an intimate dinner and be among the first to try the collaborative dish created to complement the clean, crisp taste of Asahi Super Dry.
This experience altogether invites people to embrace a spirit of discovery beyond what they eat and drink, and open themselves up to new ways to enjoy creativity, craft, nightlife and culture.
