Asahi, Japan

Behind me is the Asahi headquarters. Asahi is famous for its beer. It is also now into food and beverages.

The gold building is the HQ while the funny shaped object on top of the black building is a monument on top of another Asahi building.



Notice the gold monument on top of the black building looks like the A from the Asahi logo.



This is an annex building that serves food and beer.




A TV frame made form Asahi beer cans.





A view from inside.
