I've only had experience with Tengu Mai in the form of heated Yamahai Junmai and undiluted sake, but this was my first time brewing Honjozo.
No rising aroma. The sourness is instantaneous. It's a sauvignon blanc with some quirks. I can't taste the rice flavor. But it goes well with sour cheese and green vegetables. It is a good wine for eating. The next day, it will have a mellow sweetness due to the change in the rawness. This is a sake that can be drunk with its initial freshness, and can also be enjoyed over time.
