This is the first No. 6 after drinking Yonotori and Lapis, and it has the same plum-sake-like aroma and lacquer thinner-like aroma as the two previous bottles, with a hint of woodiness. This aroma is probably a characteristic of Shinsei. The design of the packaging is excellent. The branding is seamless, with attention to detail. However, the flavor is still weak. Like the previous two bottles, it lacks depth and richness. Compared to Kido's Junmai Ginjo, the weakness stands out even more. The ginjo aroma is also weak and not very pleasant to drink. Conversely, there is much to learn from the fact that the branding alone has sold so well.
