It has been a long time since I drank Shinsei.
While the sweetness and slightly peculiar sourness assert themselves, the aftertaste is of rice, and the sharpness is due to an astringent rather than a weak bitterness.
The strength of this lot was 14 degrees, but it's still very drinkable.
It's tasty enough, but considering the price, I personally felt that the ecru was sufficient.
The matte bottle and the design of the label is very cool, so I would recommend it as a gift.
