About

Developed by Kikkoman Kitchen Cabinet Chef Evan Gonzalez, this Strawberry Lavender Matcha Milk Tea is designed specifically for iced service, this build features a meticulously adjusted sweetness and spirit profile to ensure the integrity of the flavor remains intact as the ice melts. The Kikkoman® Soymilk Original provides stability and complements matcha and lavender aromatics. Best consumed immediately to preserve boba texture.
