‘Kinako’ is a Japanese name for the finely ground Roasted Soy Beans. It is a very popular food in many north Asian countries. As you can guess, ‘Kinako’ is 100% Soy Beans and it is a natural protein powder. ‘Kinako’ Latte (Kinako Milk) can be made by mixing it with Milk, but this is a nicer way to make it. I make it like Baristas make Cafe Latte.
