Asahi Breweries, Ltd. (Headquarters: Tokyo, President: Kazuo Matsuyama) will host a collaboration event for its RTD*1 'Future Lemon Sour' and the globally popular RPG 'Final Fantasy VII Rebirth', titled 'Future Lemon Sour Bar with FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH', from April 29 to May 3 in Roppongi.

The 'Future Lemon Sour Bar with FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH' is a limited-time pop-up store serving 'Future Lemon Sour' in a space themed after the 'Seventh Heaven' bar featured in the game. Through a spatial design that immerses visitors in the world of 'Final Fantasy VII', the event aims to create a special drinking experience of 'Future Lemon Sour' with real lemon slices, expanding brand awareness and stimulating consumption.

'Future Lemon Sour' is the world's first*2 RTD beverage where a real lemon slice floats to the surface upon opening. Since its launch in June 2024, it has been well-received by customers who praise the 'delicious real lemon slice' and the 'fun experience'. Starting April 28, 'Future Lemon Sour Strong'*3 will be added to the lineup for a limited time. Compared to the existing 'Original' and 'Plain', 'Strong' features a higher alcohol content of 7%, optimizing the balance of lemon flavor, aroma, and sweetness to achieve a robust taste.

Through this collaboration, Asahi Breweries aims to 'create deliciousness that exceeds expectations and a fun lifestyle culture' by offering a special drinking experience where guests can enjoy 'Future Lemon Sour' within the world of 'Final Fantasy VII'.
