If you guys want a good entry-level sake that doesn't taste like watered down vodka, I suggest actually going for some big-name brands.

Indeed, the "Johnnie Walkers" of the sake world don't have much in terms of outstanding characteristics for high-level products, but they have the infrastructure that allows decent quality at an affordable price. (that includes the top 2: Gekkeikan and Hakutsuru)

The absolute best value per volume, though, has got to be this one tetra-pack sake, a Junmai by Hakushika. Usually, being in a pack means its complete shit. But this one's a blessing in disguise. If you feel you're not experienced enough to appreciate the nuances of great sake yet, this is a good place to start. The company describes it as dry, but it's not. It's overall sweet and easy to approach.
