Murasakai is NG, "purple" is Murasaki.
And "murasaki no aji" is NG, too.
Because "purple" is a kind of color, does not indicate taste.
Sometimes soy-sauce is called "murasaki". This word is spread from secret language among staffs of sushi-ya.(therefore this is used only in sushi-ya)
If you mean murasaki as this, you should translate as soy-sauce.
