This is the Kikkoman Soy Milk Drink Cafe Mocha, containing 4% soy bean solids.

The beverage presented with a medium brown colour and a cocoa-led aroma, with limited immediate indication of coffee.

On tasting, the initial contact delivered a sweet chocolate profile with a noticeable depth, leaning towards a darker cocoa character. Coffee notes were not immediately prominent at this stage. Through the mid-palate, a mild bitterness developed alongside the chocolate, while the sweetness receded relatively quickly. The coffee component remained subdued, contributing more to structure than distinct flavour. Towards the finish, the chocolate profile diminished, giving way to a more pronounced soy bean character. This became the dominant note, carrying into the aftertaste with a moderate astringency. The aftertaste was defined by lingering soy and residual cocoa, with the astringency persisting after the sweetness had faded. Mouthfeel was smooth at initial contact, before transitioning into a more drying, astringent finish.

Overall, a sweet chocolate-forward drink with subdued coffee notes, transitioning to a soy-dominant, moderately astringent finish.
