This is the Kikkoman Soy Drink No Sugar Black Tea, an unsweetened black tea-flavoured soy drink containing 4% soybean solids.
The beverage presented with an opaque tan hue. Initial contact delivered fragrant, mellow notes of black tea, capturing its fruity profile without bitterness. A faint hint of natural sweetness accompanied a smooth, velvety mouthfeel that coated the palate. This tea profile and mouthfeel persisted through the body before receding in the second half, where the beany notes of the soy became more prominent alongside a notable astringency. This astringency persisted into the finish and lingered in the aftertaste even as the soy notes cleared.
Overall, a soy-based tea beverage with a receding flavour trajectory from mellow, fruity black tea to more pronounced beany notes and lingering astringency, alongside a smooth, coating mouthfeel that gave way to a more drying finish, resulting in an initially rounded profile that became less balanced towards the end.
This Kikkoman Soy Drink No Sugar Black Tea contained 200 mL. It was produced in Japan and purchased in Sydney, Australia, in 2026.
