The Ingredients

Kinako

Roasted Soybean Flour

Japan

Kinako has been part of Japanese kitchen life for centuries. Soybeans roasted slowly until they yield a deep, nutty sweetness, ground into a flour that carries warmth without weight. It is the defining ingredient of kinako mochi, a wagashi confection passed down through generations of Japanese home kitchens. Its flavor sits somewhere between roasted grain and toasted nut, gentle enough to disappear into whatever it touches and distinct enough to linger.

In Kinako Kissa, kinako finds its place in premium chocolate.

Tasting Notes & Experience

Tasting Notes

Kinako Kissa opens with the mild depth of 72% dark chocolate. The warmth and nuttiness of kinako arrives with it. Sesame brittle and dried cherries follow together, the brittle adding crunch and caramel, the cherries contributing a chewy sweetness that plays against the nuttiness of kinako. The warmth of kinako and dark chocolate carries through to the finish.

Tasting Notes

Pairing

Vin Santo del Chianti, with its notes of cherry, cinnamon, and nuttiness, mirrors the bar's flavor arc from first bite to finish. For a lighter red, a fruit-forward Pinot Noir follows the cherry and dark chocolate naturally. For something non-alcoholic,hojicha, Japanese roasted green tea, shares kinako's warmth and nuttiness in a cup.
