Hori
Honjozo Nakatori by Musical Instrument Masamune.
Since my first Gakki Masamune was a Bessen Honjozo Nakatori, I wanted to try this standard green label at some point.
I drank Bessen more than a month ago, so I can't make an exact comparison, but it seemed more refreshing than the Bessen I remember.
It may be that I was not accustomed to drinking sweet sake at the time, but the Bessen was sweeter and had a longer aftertaste, whereas the Green Label was sweeter in the mouth, but it faded quickly and the taste was refreshing. The aftertaste has a bitterness and a spiciness that comes from the acidity, and I also felt a sharpness to it.
While Bessen has a juicy fruitiness that gives it a dessert-like taste, Green Label gives the impression of being a versatile sake that can be enjoyed before or during meals.
