Kinako is a fine, golden powder made from dried, milled and roasted soybean flour. This unique kinako is made from tsukui soybeans, a rare heriloom variety harvested in Kanagawa Prefecture. They are larger than typical soybeans and have a natural sweetness that increases when roasted, creating a perfect blend of sweet, nutty, and toasted flavors.

Toyokuniya grows an heirloom variety of domestic soybeans called “Tsukui soybean” which have become so rare they are known as “phantom soybeans.” Larger than regular soybeans, they have a rich flavor and high natural sweetness, lending to a nutty taste similar to chestnuts. Masahiro and Kayoko Okamoto, the owners of Toyokuniya, have three small children and this natto koji paste is the result of looking for creative and healthy ways to feed them. They hope their foods will inspire the next generation of farmers to continue producing this rare bean.
