Finely Ground Roasted Soy Beans is called ‘Kanako’ (きなこ) in Japanese, and it is a very popular ingredient for Japanese sweets. Kinako is 100% Soy Beans and nutritious. It goes well with Cocoa flavour. These cookies have a lovely taste of Kinako and Cocoa combined, and can be enjoyed with Coffee, Milk Tea, Green Tea, and even Matcha.
