Rice Vice: Part One — Restaurant in Nashville-Davidson

I almost don't want to rate what is one of my top 3 favorite bars because it's such a hidden spot and I selfishly want to keep it that way. Rice Vice deserves the love though. As far as I know this is the only place in Nashville with local sake on tap and such a wide selection of imported Japanese sake. The bartenders are experts on Sake several of them are involved in making it in the attached brewery. If you are wanting to try Sake but not sure how to start this is the place for you. If you are a sake connoisseur Rice Vice has you covered as well. Their curated and ever changing list of imports will always give you something new and fun to try. They also carry some good Japanese beer and make delicious sake cocktails. The bar is sleek but comfy with warm wood tones and low level neon light setting the right mood. The sound system is high quality vinyl with an eclectic selection you might expect to hear The Roots, Supertramp, Sinatra, the Pink Panther soundtrack, a pop punk band and Wu Tang all in one sitting. There is parking around the side of the building and the area is a little industrial but don't let the lack of other places nearby worry you, it is after all a working brewery. The outside patio is shaded with a fire pit and very comfortable when the weather is nice. They don't have a kitchen but can heat you up some snacks, like bagel bites or a bowl of instant ramen. They often have restaurants come in and do a little Pop up kitchen which can be really fun. Trivia currently on Thursday nights! Overall this place really should be on your...

Haven't opened the products yet but I can fully testify for the purchase experience. Met the owner at exactly 11AM and was hand delivered The original Tepache-Shu and Jumai I had ordered last week online. Owner said the company was in the process of relocating so I didn't bother going inside. At pick up, he upsaled the 1Q21 That was just added to the menu recently so I opted for one more bottle on the spot. Order process was incredibly easy and pick was smooth as can be. Only thing is this particular pick up location is a little hard to get too traffic wise. Can't wait to responsibly enjoy these products! Wanted to add a special note here, on the original order the company had said the Tepache-Shu was out of stock, but when I expressed to them that was exactly what I was interested in, they took time to provide exactly what I ordered. Says so much about a locally...

In my several years in Nashville, I never imagined a sake maker opening up shop. The city is growing, and allowing more unique offerings by the day. This is a fantastic addition to the city. Byron is a kind soul dedicated to making unique and flavorful sake. My personal favorite, the Grand Parlay, is based on a Belgian saison. It's rich, flavorful, sweet, fun to sip on its own. There are 5 amazing sakes available right now, and I think the price is spot on.

They also have coffee mixed with sake. Way too good! If you have time on a Friday or...
