This is the Tsuboichi Seicha Black Soy Bean Latte, an instant powder mix.
The powder consisted of a blend of ground black soybean and sugar.
Mixing 1 part powder with 10 parts cold soy milk, the resulting latte was an opaque, speckled tan colour, accompanied by a sweet, nutty black soybean aroma. Served iced, the nutty and slightly sweet black soybean flavour maintained its presence from the initial sip through to the finish. In the body, the deep umami of the black soybean was noticeable, accompanied by a rich sweetness that later subsided, leaving a flavourful and harmoniously balanced sweet and nutty umami in the aftertaste. The finely ground black soybean was perceptible as a smooth powder on the palate, contributing to the latte’s rich and creamy mouthfeel without causing any disruption. Overall, the pronounced black soybean flavour, combined with the well-balanced sweetness and creamy texture, made this latte mix worthy of repurchasing.
