'Soy Milk Drink Jasmine Tea' is a soy milk beverage designed to deliver the refreshing taste of jasmine tea. It features the elegant aroma of jasmine flowers, offering a smooth and drinkable experience that retains the rich texture of soy milk—ideal for a refreshing break during a busy day.

'Soy Milk Drink Maple' highlights the gentle sweetness and roasted aroma of maple syrup. This variant offers a mild yet rich flavor profile, making it perfect as a dessert or snack after meals.

Both 'Soy Milk Drink Jasmine Tea' and 'Soy Milk Drink Maple' can be enjoyed chilled as-is, or creatively repurposed: freeze the unopened pack to enjoy as 'soy milk ice', or add powdered gelatin and chill to create a 'soy milk pudding'.

Kikkoman is committed to making soy-based nutrition accessible and enjoyable every day. The company will continue to introduce diverse flavor options and innovative usage ideas—such as drinking, cooking, and dessert applications—to encourage broader soy milk consumption.
