5 kinds of Kikkoman soy milk drinks

Nakameguro Saeko (hereinafter Saeko) : My favorite in Kikkoman's soymilk series is "Sakura".

Konzaki. : My favorite in Kikkoman's soymilk series is "delicious unadjusted soymilk"

■ Drink and compare 5 kinds of interest
Konzaki : Kikkoman's soy milk drink with a unique flavor. The other day I drank and compared three new flavors such as "chocolate mint" , but today I will try other flavors.

Saeko : At the moment (Spring / Summer 2018), there are 41 species in total. Which one do you drink and compare?

Konzaki : We chose 5 types of "Apricot Kernel", "Vanilla Ice Cream", "Yakiimo", "White Peach", and "Arita Mandarin". The estimated price is 90 yen for each of the first four types, and 100 yen for "Arita oranges" (both excluding tax).

Kikkoman Soymilk Beverage Series 5 Types

■ Soka apricot kernel
Konzaki : First of all, from "Apricot Kernel". A flavor inspired by almond tofu

Kikkoman Soymilk Beverage Series "Sayaka Annin"
Entry No.1 "Apricot Kernel"

Saeko : The sweet scent is fluffy. The mellowness of apricot kernel and soy milk goes well with each other, and the finish does not disappoint those who want to enjoy the apricot kernel tofu taste.

Kikkoman Soymilk Beverage Series "Sayaka Annin"
A taste that does not disappoint

Konzaki : It has a straightforward taste and is easy to drink. This is perfect. I think there are many people who will be repeated

■ Vanilla ice cream
Konzaki : Next is "vanilla ice cream" . Rich vanilla ice cream flavor

Kikkoman Soymilk Beverage Series "Vanilla Ice"
Entry No.2 "Vanilla ice cream"

Saeko : Insanely strong vanilla scent! By the way, the sweetness is also strong!

Kikkoman Soymilk Beverage Series "Vanilla Ice"
Strong vanilla scent

Konzaki : The first thing you get is "Hmm?", And then the vanilla ice cream feels like it's coming. Not "vanilla" but "vanilla ice cream". But isn't this a little quirky aftertaste?

Saeko : If you ask me ... I don't really care

Konzaki : The unique flavor that remains at the end is impressive. Likes and dislikes seem to be divided

Saeko : Is it the bean flavor that remains strong in the aftertaste?

■ Grilled potato
Konzaki : This is a seasonal product, " Yakiimo".

Kikkoman Soymilk Beverage Series "Yakiimo"
Entry No.3 "Yakiimo"

Saeko : Amazing, really baked! After swallowing, the fragrant flavor will gradually spread in your mouth!

Konzaki : This may be amazing. The "roasted" part of the roasted food is emphasized.

Kikkoman Soymilk Beverage Series "Yakiimo"
The skin-like aroma of grilled food

Saeko : The mellowness of the potatoes may be weak, but this fragrance is attractive. You can enjoy it even if you warm it up and drink it

Konzaki : I also like the fact that it has a refreshing aftertaste and is easy to drink while retaining its sweetness.

■ White peach
Konzaki : Next, "white peach" . I was looking forward to it personally

Kikkoman Soymilk Beverage Series "White Peach"
Entry No.4 "White Peach"

Saeko : The scent of peach spreads! I've felt it since the time of "chocolate mint", but the soymilk drink series has a strong scent overall.

Konzaki: When you put it in your mouth, the juicy sweetness spreads and is refreshing so that you can pop it properly. It ’s pretty sweet, but it ’s not sticky.

Kikkoman Soymilk Beverage Series "White Peach"
Sweet and sour to pop

Saeko : Fruit-like acidity is extruded! But if you drink it without knowing the flavor name, do you know peach?

Konzaki : It may be a fruit-mixed image. It has a sweet-like flavor, but for some reason it makes you want to drink it regularly.

■ Arita oranges
Konzaki : The last is "Arita oranges" . Kansai limited flavor using Arida oranges from Wakayama prefecture

Kikkoman Soymilk Beverage Series "Arita Mandarin"
Entry No.5 "Arita oranges"

Saeko : Before I drank it, I thought "mandarin oranges and soy milk?", But it's well organized! In the mellowness of soy milk, the fresh scent of mandarin oranges that blends in softly is nice.

Konzaki : It feels like a good balance between mellowness and freshness. It seems that people who like and dislike flavors are different, but even people who are not good at soy milk can go crazy.

Kikkoman Soymilk Beverage Series "Arita Mandarin"
Is it a little rare only in Kansai?

■ What do you recommend?
Konzaki: Speaking of the high degree of perfection, "Apricot Kernel" was by far the best. Personally, I also like "white peach". At first, I felt that it was different from what I expected, but the taste gradually became irritating.

Saeko : "Soka Apricot Kernel" has a sense of stability. I liked "vanilla ice cream"

Konzaki : I was also surprised at the aroma of "yakiimo".
