    TBF, “Asahi” is a better name for a newspaper than for a brewery 😅 (It means “morning sun” in Japanese)

        Haha! Though they were probably more of a patriot than a drunk: Japan is the land of the rising sun, after all!

        And by that I mean that the name of the country (in Japanese) literally means “origin of the sun”, and that the emperor is traditionally considered a direct descendant of the sun goddess.
