Are you ready to catch the SAKE Breeze? 🍶✨AD21+

I stopped by KUU Restaurant @kuurestaurant to celebrate World Sake Day with a special sake cocktail, a curated sake flight, and incredible food pairings.

I don’t typically drink, but I make an exception for sake. And when I heard Christian Suzuki Orellana, aka “Suzu” (from Netflix’s Drink Masters), was guest bartending for the night, I wanted to check it out.

The sake was so smooth and clean, with no harsh bite. Just subtle, refined flavors that paired beautifully with KUU’s dishes.

This month-long campaign (running now through October 31) isn’t just about drinking. It’s about celebrating Japanese craftsmanship through food and sake pairings and fully immersing yourself in the experience.

World Sake Day was October 1, but the celebration continues at these 6 fantastic Houston restaurants:

📍 Azumi @azumihouston | 4444 Westheimer Rd, Houston, TX 77027
📍 HANDO / Kanpai Club @handohtx @thekanpaiclub | 518 W 11th St Suite 500, Houston, TX 77008
📍 IKTO @iknowtheownerhtx | 1221 West 11th St, Houston, TX 77008
📍 Kazzan @kazzanramenbarhtx | 191 Heights Blvd, Houston, TX 77007
📍 KUU Restaurant @kuurestaurant | 947 Gessner Rd, Ste A180, Houston, TX 77024
📍 Zen Japanese Izakaya @zenjapaneseizakaya | 2015 South Shepherd Dr. #700, Houston, TX 77019

🍶 Don’t miss your chance to sip, savor, and maybe discover a new favorite sake along the way.

OSA - Madrid (Spain)

@osa.restaurante is one of the hottest tables in Madrid at the moment. Located a bit away from the city center, the restaurant offers a long and meat-heavy tasting menu that will please the more adventurous eaters.

OSA combines a variety of interesting techniques, especially involving aging and smoking, with exotic ingredients and a variety of different animal proteins.

With an intimate interior and such a modern and bold cooking approach, it is easy to understand why OSA took the Madrid singing scene by storm so quickly.

Recommended bowl: Yamagata chicken soup

Opened in 2016, Muginae remains one of the most prestigious shops in the Tokyo ramen scene. Master Fukaya-san serves a golden brown soup made from flavorful free-range Yamagata chickens, along with a tare that is prepared from two varieties of specialty shoyu — one from Nagano, the other from Hyogo. The noodles are house-made with Japanese flour. Muginae is an excellent example of the ongoing Tokyo trend of exquisitely prepared shoyu ramen made with high-quality ingredients. Balance plus clean, crisp flavors — this one screams excellence. Check Twitter for holidays and updates: @Akihiro_Fukaya Less
