This is the Pokka Sapporo Jikkuri KotoKoto Yasai Potage Corn. It contained corn from Thailand, America and Hungary, as well as 13 types of vegetables from carrots, red peppers, asparagus, pumpkin, cauliflower, cabbage, broccoli, spinach, sweet potatoes, onions, celery, potato, green onion).

The soup had an opaque, vibrant yellow hue with suspended corn kernels, offering a subtle aroma of fresh corn. When consumed chilled, it presented a delightful sweetness coupled with a robust corn flavour, as if ground corn had been used to thicken the soup. The corn kernels, generously distributed throughout, added bright notes of sweet corn to each sip, contributing an audible crunch that enhanced the overall texture. Although it contained 13 types of vegetables, the dominant flavour remained distinctly corn potage, akin to a crisper, smoother version of Heinz Chunky Chicken and Corn soup, minus the savoury depth from the chicken. The mouthfeel was exceptionally velvety and had a slight viscosity that allowed it to linger on the palate while also smoothly sliding down the throat. The ground corn flavour became most pronounced in the finish, leaving no lingering aftertaste. In summary, corn potage elevated the comfort food to a refreshing summer delight.

This Pokka Sapporo Jikkuri KotoKoto Yasai Potage Corn contained 170 g. It was produced in Japan and purchased in Sydney, Australia in 2023.
