Housen Nami no Oto Tokubetsu Junmai Susuru “Sake With Ramen”

Brewery: Sasaki Shuzoten, Natori, Miyagi
Classification: Tokubetsu Junmai
Rice: Kura no Hana, Miyagi
Polishing: 55%
ABV: 16%
SMV: ±0
Acidity: 2.0
Amino acid: 1.5

“Sake With Ramen” is the name featured on this bottling, with Susuru meaning “slurp.” It is a rebranding of Sasaki Shuzoten’s Housen Nami no Oto Tokubetsu Junmai Kura no Hana, specifically positioned to pair with ramen. The profile emphasizes rich rice umami and moderate acidity, with a smooth, rounded texture and a relatively quick finish.

Pleasant and enjoyable. Liked it, but nothing exceptional or something I’d specifically seek out.

Tasted at Sake Day SF — 9/26/2026. Rating is limited since the same glass was reused throughout the tasting, making it difficult to get a truly clean tasting and accurate read on the aromas. — 7 days ago

Good balance. Not to much oak. A pleasure to drink with rare ahi tuna in Hana. No palate fatigue at all. Really more food friendly than I expected as I don't drink much California Chardonnay. — 12 years ago
