This is the Kikkoman Soy Milk + Iron, a fortified soy milk drink with added iron, flavoured with 1% blueberry and strawberry juice, containing 4% soy bean solids.
The beverage presented with an opaque pale purple hue. Aroma opened with a sweet, berry-forward profile, led by blueberry. Initial contact delivered immediate berry sweetness, with the blueberry clearly dominant. The profile leaned towards a confectionery-style blueberry note, reminiscent of flavoured candy, likely supported by added fragrance. The strawberry component was present but subdued, contributing only a light tartness beneath the stronger blueberry character. Through the mid-palate, the soy base became more apparent, introducing a mild astringency that gradually built. The berry sweetness persisted but did not fully integrate with the soy, remaining somewhat separate in impression. Towards the finish, a faint metallic note emerged, likely from the iron fortification, lingering alongside the astringency. The aftertaste carried both elements, extending the finish beyond the initial sweetness. Mouthfeel was light and smooth, with a slightly drying sensation developing over time.
Overall, a flavoured soy milk with dominant blueberry sweetness, underlying soy astringency, and a lingering metallic finish, resulting in a somewhat disjointed but clearly defined profile.
This Kikkoman Soy Milk + Iron contained 200 mL. It was produced in Japan and purchased in Sydney, Australia in 2026.
