If your past experience with pairing sake with food involved a hot cup of rice wine alongside some mediocre hibachi fare, you’re in for a big surprise. Rice Vice and Present Tense are creating a new sake scene thanks to amazing spirits crafted in Nashville and imported from Japan served alongside inventive cuisine. Present Tense in Wedgewood-Houston leans on the culinary talents of longtime restaurant pros Rick Margaritov and Ryan Costanza to create a menu of Asian fusion delights. At Proper Saké Co.’s Rice Vice in East Nashville, Byron Stithem depends on pop-ups by chefs he respects, which in the past have included the teams behind Kisser and Xiao Bao.
