Kaze no Mori is basically sweet, but this series is dry and delicious. The original Kaze no Mori is a sweet sake brewer, so it is not spicy! It's not as spicy as the original, but it's good!
Shinmasa's sake is basically sweet, which I don't like, but I think girls seem to like many fruity ones. I think Akisakura is sweeter than other kinds.
