"Soy milk" is now fully citizenship. If you go to the supermarket, you can find various types. Even those who drink soy milk often haven't compared the taste yet.

So, instead of busy people, the editorial department tried drinking and comparing! Ultimately, I would like to decide which is the most delicious soy milk.

Soy milk is roughly divided into three types

There are three types of soymilk sold at supermarkets: "prepared soymilk," "unadjusted soymilk," and "soymilk drinks."

Unadjusted soymilk is squeezed soybeans that have been soaked in water or steamed. Since nothing is seasoned, the bean flavor remains strong. Prepared soymilk is made by adding salt and sugar to make it easy to drink. In addition, soymilk beverages are seasoned with flavors such as fruit and coffee.

By the way, according to the Japan Soymilk Association, soymilk began to be drunk in Japan during the Kamakura period. It seems that it became popular with the general public around 1975.

Comparison of 7 soy milk drinks

This time, I will compare the following 7 types of prepared soymilk and unadjusted soymilk.

Sujata Meiraku Nomu Soybean 900ml (30.43us fl oz) 198 yen (Purchase price / tax not included, same below)
Sujata Meiraku Organic Soymilk 900ml (30.43us fl oz) 198 Yen Sujata Meiraku Delicious Prepared Soymilk 900ml (30.43us fl oz) 188 Yen Kikkoman Delicious Unadjusted Soymilk 1,000ml (0us fl oz) 198 Yen Kikkoman Tokuno Prepared Soymilk 1,000ml (0us fl oz) 198 Yen Kikkoman Calorie 45% Off Adjusted soymilk 1,000 ml 198 yen



3 items of Sujata Meiraku and 4 items of Kikkoman. The prices are almost the same, but all three Sujata Meiraku products are 100ml (3.38us fl oz) less, so they are a little more expensive.

By the way, my wife's favorite who was in charge of the cash register is Sujata Meiraku's organic soy milk (because she likes her daughter). Of course, you can drink it as it is, but you can also use it for cooking, such as making it into a soy milk pot, arranging it in pasta sauce, or mixing it with grated yam to make gratin. I learned a lot…!

Now, let's arrange these seven soymilks in descending order of ingredient display "soybean solids". The higher the soybean solid content, the thicker the soymilk and the higher the protein content.

1. 1. Sujata Meiraku Nomu Soybean 13%
2. Jata Meiraku Organic Soymilk 10%
3. 3. Kikkoman Delicious unadjusted soymilk 8% or more
Four. Kikkoman Tokuno prepared soymilk 8%
Five. Sujata Meiraku Delicious Prepared Soymilk / Kikkoman Prepared Soymilk 7% each
6. Kikkoman 45% off calories Adjusted soymilk 6% or more


The top 3 are unadjusted, and the 4th and subsequent are prepared soymilk. According to the JAS standard, "soybean solid content of 8% or more" is unadjusted soymilk. More than 6% is prepared soymilk, and less than that is soymilk drink.


Let's review each taste in descending order of soy solids.

Sujata Meiraku Drinking Soybeans (Soybean Solids 13%)

Unadjusted soymilk using whole soybeans (strictly speaking, "soybean drink"). This soybean is made without removing the "okara" that is normally removed.




The taste is exactly the name! Did you grind the tofu and pack it as it is? It's so thick that it's so thick that the bubbles that are poured do not disappear easily. It has a smooth mouthfeel, a rich bean aroma and a mellow richness, and its taste and texture are almost tofu .

Sujata Meiraku Organic Soymilk (Soybean Solids 10%)

Unadjusted soymilk made from 100% organic whole soybeans that can be made into tofu by adding bittern.




Compared to Nomu soybeans, it has a smoother mouthfeel. Still, it's still thick, and the mellow bean flavor is firmly behind. The taste is still completely tofu.

Kikkoman Delicious unadjusted soymilk (soy solid content 8% or more)

Unadjusted soymilk finished with a refreshing flavor with less soybeaniness by our original manufacturing method.




The color of soy milk has become brighter and easier to drink. A light drink that gently strokes your tongue. The tofu-like taste is greatly reduced, and the sweetness of the beans spreads softly. Here, the taste is not "tofu" but "soy milk".

Kikkoman Tokuno prepared soymilk (soybean solid content 8%)

Prepared soymilk containing more soybean solids than regular soymilk. This is the only Tokuho product.




It has a color similar to that of soybeans. However, it is sweetly seasoned so it is quite easy to drink! However, it does not have a persistent sweetness, but it matches well with the slightly remaining bean flavor. delicious.

Sujata Meiraku Delicious prepared soymilk (soy solid content 7%)

Prepared soymilk using organic soybeans. A glass contains the same amount of calcium as a bottle of milk. It looks quite whitish and looks like milk.




When you take a sip ... this is sweet! It feels much sweeter than Tokuno prepared soymilk, like a snack. Obviously, the taste has something added, so you may have different tastes.

Kikkoman prepared soymilk (soy solid content 7%)

Adjusted soymilk in the familiar green package. It was said that the supermarket I bought this time was also selling well.




Kikkoman A taste similar to Tokuno prepared soymilk. The slightly added sweetness covers the flavor of the beans, making it refreshing and easy to drink. Soy milk beginners should start drinking from now on!

Kikkoman 45% off calorie adjusted soymilk (soy solid content 6% or more)

Prepared soymilk that contains the same amount of calcium as milk and has 45% off calories.




It has the smoothest and lightest mouthfeel of all the drinks, and it seems to be gulpy. It has a milky sweetness and a milky feel. It's bean-like, so if you think it's soy milk and drink it, you might get a little out of tune.

What is the easiest to drink?

Click here for rankings arranged in the order that I personally liked.

1st place Kikkoman Delicious unadjusted soymilk
2nd place Kikkoman Tokuno prepared soymilk
3rd place Kikkoman prepared soymilk
4th place Sujata Meiraku Organic Soymilk
5th place Sujata Meiraku Nomu Soybeans
6th place Kikkoman 45% off calorie adjusted soymilk
7th place Sujata Meiraku Delicious prepared soymilk

Sujata Meiraku nomu soybeans and organic soymilk have a strong tofu-like taste, so their tastes may differ. I liked Kikkoman's unadjusted soymilk, which tastes good but not sweet. However, for those who are not very accustomed to drinking soymilk, I think that Kikkoman-prepared soymilk is the easiest to drink.

If you use it for cooking, it is recommended that you do not adjust it, and if you want to drink it as it is or make it a smoothie, you can use sweet soymilk to make it delicious. Please use it properly according to the purpose!
