Kinako is a tasty, nutty, confectionary flour made from grinding slow-roasted soybeans. My favorite way to enjoy it is as a topping on Kushi Dango (skewered, slightly sweet, chewy, rice-flour dumplings. A treat found at street stalls and festivals.) It's also found as a topping on traditional candies and confections such as mochi and wagashi. Modern cooks have been using it in everything from cookies, muffins, bread, pancakes, smoothies, and ice cream! Kinako is nutritious too, with protein, mineral, and fiber content.

Using kinako adds a savory, nutty, warm, and toasty component to otherwise sweet desserts. One way I like to think of it is using it anywhere I might consider using peanut butter, peanut flour, crushed peanuts, or almonds.
