We chose the dry version of Mimuro Sugi, which has a strong image of being sweet. It was certainly spicy, but not too much. In fact, the spiciness accentuates the taste and makes it easier to drink.
It's so different from the usual flavor that you wouldn't know it's Mimurosugi if you were to drink it. It's delicious in its own way, though.
