I am from Europe so I do not know about US sake. But I can tell you one thing: sake from Europe sucks really fucking hard.

I tried sake from France and Austria. Some used imported Japanese rice, others local rice. Some were made by Japanese people, others by locals. But they were all bad, and sometimes very, very bad: sugary, acidic, blunt, and above all shallow in taste, with terrible texture and color.

I think the hard waters of Europe are to blame, but I also feel the bread-eating, fruit-alcohol drinking Europeans do not understand the beauty and complexity of rice and thus do not respect it.

Still, I cannot rule out the US sake because I have never tasted it. I also have never been there but California seems to be deeply connected to Japan, for a lot of reasons. I feel like sake from California would probably be better than European sake.
