This is the Kikkoman Soy Milk Drink Matcha. It features roasted matcha sweetened with kuromitsu, with soybean solids comprising at least 4%.
The drink was an opaque pale khaki hue. When consumed chilled, it offered a rich and thick mouthfeel. The matcha flavor was immediately prominent, with an aromatic, almost nutty quality, accompanied by a subtle grassy note that fell short of the roasted fragrance found in hōjicha. The kuromitsu imparted a deep and clear molasses sweetness to the matcha, with the blend persisting into the finish, where the soybean made its presence known with a brief hint of its characteristic beany flavor, followed by an astringent aftertaste that lingered long on the palate. Overall, the rich flavours made this an enjoyable beverage that would not be out of place when ordering a matcha latte in a cafe.
This Kikkoman Soy Milk Drink Matcha contained 200 mL. It was produced in Japan and purchased in Sydney, Australia in 2024.
