Nancy's plain soy yogurt: Oddly, the plain flavor of this product has more sugar than either the blueberry or strawberry flavors I tried, with 15g per cup. With the plain yogurt, the true flavor of the product really comes through, and it's not particularly pleasant. It tastes like a highly concentrated piece of tofu and, for some reason, had a savory aftertaste despite the sugar. I found myself adding honey to mask the strong flavor. 2.0/5.0

Nancy's strawberry soy yogurt: Similar to the blueberry flavor I previously reviewed, this yogurt may not look very appetizing (the brownish color reminds of a liver pâé), but it tastes pretty good.

Soyadrink is the drink to get to understand the sharp contrast between an Asian and American palate. First, the drink is thinner in viscosity and actually has a soybean-like aftertaste (think plain tofu). This light flavor nonetheless lingers on your palate long after drinking. Additionally, no one bothers to fortify thes... (read more) 3.0/5.0

Marusan sesame honey soymilk: Taste is reminiscent of black sesame porridge you can buy in powder packets. All three flavors are present (black sesame, honey, and soymilk) but fail to work together. Very sweet, strange flavor overall. Not recommended. 1.5/5.0

Dodoya Simple Soybean Drink: A Taiwanese soybean drink that is much lighter and less sweet than your typical American soymilk. Very refreshing. Healthy, hydrating, and invigorating. Purchased from M2M in Manhattan. 4.0/5.0
