My aunt told me about these popular Kyushu Pancakes (九州パンケーキ) and sent me several packages for me and JOC readers to try!
The ingredients used in this pancake mix all came from different regions within Kyushu. Wheat flour (小麦粉) is from Oita, sugar from Okinawa and Kagoshima, red rice (赤米) from Fukuoka, germ rolled barley (胚芽押麦) from Saga, glutinous millet (もちきび) from Nagasaki, black rice (黒米) from Kumamoto, rice (うるち米) from Kagoshima, and sprouted brown rice (発芽玄米) from Miyazaki.
The texture of the pancakes is unique with slightly grainy texture from 7 kinds of grains. They are not bothering at all and the pancakes are so fluffy and moist and they were really delicious!
If you are in Japan, you can purchase this pancake mix from Amazon and Rakuten. It’s so popular that my aunt had to wait after ordering them.

Congratulations Lena (#77)! I’ll email you shortly!
Can’t seem to find kanten around here.
I have a hard time finding a variety of the mix in seasonings for quick cucumber salad
Honesty it’s very hard to find lots of ingredients in my area as I live in somewhat rural northwest Indiana – I have to go to Illinois to go to an asian supermarket! But things I wish we had most are curry (in the package), kabocha squash, and daikon.
It’s difficult to find kiri-mochi!
The fact that all the ingredients are from different regions but still local sounds really neat.
Genmai or roasted rice. Had the Tsujiri green tea sundae here in Toronto and loved it with genmai. Found a package of genmai at Chicago’s Mitsuwa grocery but can’t find it in Toronto.
I make a lot of substitutions for my Japanese cooking but I’d like to try shiso leaves or yuzu. Even getting good quality matcha powder would be great instead of the gray green stuff I have to pay so much for. Ontario, Canada has a lot of ingredients but some you just can’t find.
A lot of the fresh produce is hard to find here in Connecticut. We only have a small Asian grocery store in the area, and it doesn’t focus on Japanese ingredients, so there are a lot of things that I have to order online.
I’m already subscribed 🙂
The hardest ingredient to find in my area would be shiso and mitsuba. Also satsumaimo (japanese sweet potato)!
It’s hard to get kombu in our area!
Love all your recipes
I can hardly find miso here
I must say Japanese ingredients are hard to find at my place, and need to drive for two hours to another town to get it, but usually I brought my matcha online since matcha also hard to find at the other town..
It’s mostly a matter of price and quality here, especially sake and mirin.
I live close to the Mitsuwa market in NJ so I’m lucky to be able to find most ingredients. I have not heard of this pancake and am so interested! I
