I haven't tried a wide variety of sake, but I have enjoyed what I tried. Soju (Korean) is also very nice. Vietnamese rice wine tends to be on the stronger side compared to a typical sake. It's definitely not for everybody. There's really no replacement for it over here in Canada. When I'm in the mood for it, I just grab a nice bottle of vodka and pretend it's the real thing. I've really been enjoying some local vodkas lately, but the flavour just isn't the same.
