You already feasted up. Whatever you could find at the grocery store likely isn't very good. Especially if it was under 12 bucks.

Get the SakeOne stuff. Excellent, excellent starter stuff (and just all around excellent regardless). It's easy to find (generally), is inexpensive and will teach you all you need to know about quality Sake. If you have a HuHot restaurant around you can get a flight of all their Momokawa line for like 6 bucks.
