This is the Kikkoman Soy Milk Drink Zunda, inspired by the local dish from Miyagi Prefecture made with mashed edamame beans. It contained at least 4% soybean solids and derived its flavour from edamame paste.
The beverage had an opaque off-white hue and a sweet soy milk aroma. Consumed chilled, it offered a flavour profile similar to the regular soy milk in Kikkoman’s range but with a bolder, fresher soybean character. The rounded sweetness was reminiscent of a zunda shake, albeit with more subdued vanilla notes. The texture was smooth, with the zunda paste enhancing its creaminess, yet it lacked the granular texture typically associated with zunda.
Overall, this drink delivered a refined variation of the classic soy milk, with its nuanced sweetness and fresh soybean flavour making it a satisfying dessert-like beverage. It is worth repurchasing.
This Kikkoman Soy Milk Drink Zunda contained 200 mL. It was produced in Japan and purchased in Sendai, Japan in 2024.
