Shirakiku Kinako Japanese Roasted Soybean Flour - Additive-free Soybean Flour, Superfine Texture, Ideal for Baking & Cooking, 5 OZ (Pack of 1)

Arrived quickly! Long expiration date which is great! Great nutty flavor-saw it used in a hot chocolate recipe! So delicious. I can’t wait see what else I can do with it!

This is a fantastic way to make Soy butter without sugar which has been impossible to find. Mix the powder with high quality roasted peanut oil. (You have to try it to get the right consistency.) You can add a little salt or not. FANTASTIC PEANUT FLAVORED SOY NUT SPREAD. I like to mix it into yogurt and eat with fruit for lunch. Great in smoothies. Have fun!

I wasn’t able to find this brand in my regular Asian market where I purchased it for years. To my surprise, I found it on Amazon. I’ve tried other brands of kinako, but their taste falls flat. The Shirakiku brand is a staple in my home and used especially at New Year’s. The powder is mixed with white sugar to coat warm mochi. Very good!

Item arrived as described in photos and in good condition. Perfect size for the amount it cost.

I distinctly remember getting Kinako milkshakes at a local Japanese burger joint in my old neighborhood that were to die for and bought this attempting to recreate it. While the freshness could be a little better the quality of shake it produced was adequate to nourish the craving. I even started adding it to my daughter’s oatmeal with a little brown sugar and she seems to enjoy it. As well it has some nice hidden protein so it bulks up breakfast nicely.
