The other day, I got some information from a beautiful woman who loves sake. "If you add a little sake to the cup ramen, it will be very delicious ."

This is worrisome! I decided to give it a try. We have prepared 5 different flavors to check the compatibility.

The lineup is "Cup Noodle", "Cup Noodle Curry", "Nissin Noodle Craftsman's Scented Soy Sauce", "Maruchan Seimen Flavored Mellow Miso", "Noodle Making Soy Sauce Tonkotsu", and sake is Junmaishu that was at the author's house. What is the result ...?

◆ "Cup noodles + sake"!

First of all, this is the cup ramen! From the royal road "Cup Noodle". After 3 minutes of adding hot water as usual, add about a glass of sake. When you sip the noodles ...



Oh, it ’s delicious! The junk is fading, and it's certainly different from the usual taste. However, it's really sake !!! Noyu !!! Furthermore, the rich scent of alcohol from the steam is Mwan. This is not a secret ingredient that makes cup ramen delicious, but rather a ramen that is completely "sake-filled".

In the first place, it may have been bad because it was too much for one cup of noodles, and it was sprinkled directly on the noodles (but because it is cup noodles, the soup is less ...). So, from now on, I will decide to "pour into the soup part" and "up to half the amount". Sorry for the sacrifice, Mr. Cup Ramen.

◆ The best match is ...

While paying attention to the above, I tried with the remaining 4 types.

What I felt most delicious was "Noodle making soy sauce tonkotsu"! It was an impression that the depth and richness increased a lot. It was a little alcoholic sake, but the richness of soy sauce and the aroma of tonkotsu make the sake milder, and the sake completely functions as a secret ingredient. Certainly this is Umai.


If you think about it, you use sake in Japanese food. It is said that the ingredients contained in sake add umami and enrich the flavor. Something similar to this may be happening. However, be careful as the alcohol is not completely removed like when cooking.

Well, there are three remaining flavors. Among these, I definitely want you to try curry (this time cup noodles). The soup is a little Japanese and interesting. When I put the noodles a little on one side and put sake only in the soup part and mixed it, the strong alcoholic feeling like the previous cup noodles did not come out.


Miso (Maruchan Seimen) has the impression that it is richer than any other taste. In addition, soy sauce (the same noodle craftsman) had a complicated taste, and I was able to enjoy a different atmosphere than usual.

◆ There was a dark hose

There are various types of "cup noodles" ...

On behalf of other than ramen, I also tried "Maru-chan Red Kitsune Udon". This is pretty good . With the addition of mildness, the taste becomes more cohesive (feels like). After all, it may be compatible with the dashi stock.

◆ I want to try various things!

Except for the failure of the first cup noodles, all of them became richer and deeper, and I enjoyed a different taste than usual. This time I would like to try a different type of sake.

Many of the products sold as "cooking sake" have flavors such as salt and vinegar. If you want to try "cup noodles + sake", we recommend drinking sake (preferably pure rice sake)!
