However, only Asahi&#8217;s operations in Japan &#8211; which account for about half its sales &#8211; have been affected by the attack.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Asahi said the re-opened beer plants in Japan were &#8220;not yet fully operational&#8221;, and that two of its soft drinks factories that have partially re-opened were also not running at full capacity.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">It added there were a further five soft drinks factories that &#8220;will resume gradually in accordance with shipments&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">All seven of its food plants have resumed operations, though they are also not yet fully operational.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Asahi said the production systems at the factories themselves had not been affected by the cyber-attack, but it had been forced to halt production because it could not process orders and shipments.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The company added that its breweries were producing only Super Dry, and that from 15 October it would resume shipments of 16 products, including its non-alcoholic beers Asahi Dry Zero and Asahi Zero, as well as Clear Asahi and whiskey Black Nikka Clear.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">It said some product launches would also be postponed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/news\/articles\/asahi-restarts-beer-production-cyber-100738841.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Asahi has partially restarted production at all six of its breweries in Japan after it was forced to close them due to<br \/><button class=\"read-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/world\/asahi-restarts-beer-production-after-cyber-attack\/06\/10\/2025\/\">Read More &rsaquo;<\/a><\/button><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":53089,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/bbc_us_articles_995\/2b5fb384fc0b8ce686869638b641a408","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53088"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=53088"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53088\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/53089"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=53088"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=53088"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=53088"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
