Comparison of Akaban and Bizen
Akaban has a crisp acidity with a slight bitterness and umami, and a crisp finish.
Bizen has a fruity aroma with a soft opening and a mild, unctuous sweetness.
I think Bizen is more popular, but I have the impression that it is a little thin, so my preference is Akaban, which is more like a proper sake.
