This is the Kikkoman Soy Milk Drink Shifuku no Gohobi Noukou Chocolate, a soy milk beverage featuring chocolate. It contained at least 4% soy solids and used soybeans produced in Hokkaidō Prefecture.
The beverage presented with an opaque medium-tan hue and minor viscosity. Initial contact delivered mellow sweetness alongside a creamy mouthfeel that swiftly coated the palate. Through the mid-palate, the chocolate flavour became richer and more pronounced, intensifying towards the finish into a thick, creamy profile reminiscent of hot fudge sauce on a sundae.
As the sip cleared, minor grittiness, whether from the chocolate or soy milk, became evident but remained unobtrusive. The fudgy richness lingered briefly before a minor soybean-derived astringency emerged, followed by a clean aftertaste.
Overall, a chocolate soy milk beverage with a mellow opening, progressively richer chocolate flavour and thick, creamy mouthfeel, resulting in an indulgent, hot-fudge-like finish. It genuinely tasted like an indulgent reward and was worth repurchasing.
This Kikkoman Soy Milk Drink Shifuku no Gohobi Noukou Chocolate contained 200 mL. It was produced in Japan and purchased in Sydney, Australia in 2026.
