The beer glass-like tall building, covered with amber glass on its sides and white walls on top, is the company’s headquarters building called “Asahi Beer Tower”. The adjacent building with a big golden object is called “Super Dry Hall”. The building was designed by French designer Philippe Starck. The golden object is called “The Asahi Flame (Flamme d’Or)” and represents passion of Asahi Beer. Even though the object has such official name and wonderful meaning, it is often called “The golden turd” from its color and shape as a joke.
Inside the Asahi Beer Tower, Super Dry Hall, and Asahi Beer Annex Building in the headquarters’ premises, good restaurants can be found.
