Kikkoman's Exciting New Soy Milk Flavors

Kikkoman Soy Foods Co., Ltd. is set to expand its innovative line of soy milk beverages with the launch of two delightful new flavors: Strawberry Banana and Caramel Macchiato. These new products are scheduled to hit store shelves across Japan starting February 23.

Both flavors offer unique tastes that cater to a wide range of consumers looking for nutritious and delicious drink options. The Strawberry Banana soy milk encompasses the delightful combination of sweet strawberries and the rich aroma of bananas. This flavor is perfect as a refreshing dessert or snack option, making it a great addition to lunchboxes or as an afternoon pick-me-up.

On the other hand, the Caramel Macchiato flavor features a harmonious balance of the sweetness of caramel combined with the bitterness of coffee. It serves as an ideal drink to enjoy after meals or whenever you seek a flavor boost throughout the day. Both flavors are versatile drinks that can be enjoyed on their own or transformed into creative treats. For instance, you can freeze the soy milk in its packaging to create a delightful soy milk ice cream or incorporate gelatin to make delicious soy milk pudding.

Kikkoman aims to make it easy for everyone to incorporate the nutritional benefits of soy into their daily diets. With these new flavors, the company continues to explore various ways to enjoy soy milk, whether through different recipes or simple drinking formats. The focus on flavor innovation is crucial for a brand like Kikkoman, well-known for its wholesome soy-related products.

In terms of pricing, the suggested retail price for each 200 ml carton of the new soy milk drinks is ¥110 (excluding taxes). Customers will be able to find these products available nationally, and if anyone has questions or needs assistance regarding these new flavors, they can contact Kikkoman Soy Foods at 0120-1212-88.

Understanding Soy Milk Classification

It's essential to understand that soy milk is categorized under food labeling standards into three broad categories: Soy Milk, Processed Soy Milk, and Soy Milk Beverages. Kikkoman offers various products under this classification:

• - Soy Milk: Contains over 8% soybean solids
• - Processed Soy Milk: Contains over 6% soybean solids
• - Soy Milk Beverages: For fruit-containing versions, the standard requires over 2% soybean solids, while others need over 4%.

Among Kikkoman’s offerings, you'll find products such as Fruit Mix Soy Milk and Malt Coffee Soy Milk, showcasing the brand’s ability to cater to diverse tastes while keeping health in mind.

The launch of these new flavors not only enriches Kikkoman's product range but also emphasizes the company's commitment to promoting healthy and delicious soy milk options for all. As consumers become more health-conscious, these innovative flavors could potentially lead to greater acceptance and enjoyment of soy products.
