Kinako (黄粉 or きなこ) is toasted soybean flour. It is commonly used in Japanese cuisine.[1]

Kinako itself is not sweet, but people often add sugar into kinako and coat the mixed-one to wagashi (Japanese sweets), for example Warabimochi.
History
The use of kinako was recorded during the Yayoi period from 300 BC to 300 AD.[2]
