This is the Kikkoman Soy Milk Craft Soy Latte Creamy. It uses 100% Arabica beans, with 76% of the coffee derived from beans grown in Colombia and Guatemala, extracted using a cloth filter. The beverage contains 4% soy bean solids and brown sugar (3.9% carbohydrates). It presented with an opaque light tan hue and a distinctly roasted coffee aroma.
Consumed chilled, the opening impression was led by gentle roasted coffee notes with clear aromatic lift. As the sip progressed, a mellow soy character emerged through the mid-palate, sitting behind the coffee rather than competing with it. The soy contributed a rounded, creamy mouthfeel that lightly coated the palate. Despite the inclusion of brown sugar, the sweetness was notably restrained, functioning more as structural support than as a defining feature. In the latter half of the sip, the aromatic qualities of the coffee reasserted themselves, accompanied by a subtle dark-roast bitterness and moderate astringency that lingered briefly before resolving into a clean finish.
Overall, this was a composed soy latte that prioritised roast clarity and textural balance, with sweetness kept deliberately in check.
