"Rice Vice, the home base of Proper Sake, is a tasting experience worth sharing with anyone even remotely interested in Japanese rice wine. The cheeky menu has scary-accurate flavor profile descriptions to help you choose (“slightly effervescent bubblegum funk”). If it’s your first time, try the Cloud Palace Nigori, a citrusy-but-not-sweet sake, and know they also have earthier options like the Rice Father #2. Don’t bank on it for dinner since they mainly have snacks, although they do occasionally host pop-ups out front from places like Two Ten Jack and the Fox Den Izakaya. But with sake this good, we can forgive the lack of real food." - ann walczak, bailey freeman, adam sloan

"Byron Stithem, founder and master brewer of local sake brewery Proper Sake Co., opened up this cozy, 70s-inspired wood-paneled spot in East Nashville where he pours up a robust selection of the sakes he makes on-site. If sake doesn’t strike your fancy, Rice Vice also features Asian lagers, perfectly chilled highballs, and a curated selection of small bites made in collaboration with local restaurants. Be sure to check the Instagram page for upcoming events." - Jackie Gutierrez-Jones, Eater Staff
