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.

Thank you for participating this giveaway! The winner is…
Congratulations Lena (#77)! I’ll email you shortly!
Well, here everything beside sushi ingredients is hard to find. I personally never have seen mirin here.
Thank you for the chance to win a giveaway! I am fortunate enough to live near a Asian/Japanese community in my city. I don’t have to go very far to look for a Japanese ingredient 🙂 The people at the markets have been very helpful. I look forward to trying out the new Japanese pancake mix.
In my little town in Croatia almost all japanese ingredients are hard to find! 🙁
I live in the Asian area of Miami so I have some luck
I’m from the Netherlands and the most difficult Japanse ingredient to find here are probably shiso leaves.
Hi Nami! Thanks for another giveaway.
It’s difficult to find many Japanese ingredients here, but the most difficult ingredients to find are fresh ones, such as veggies, mushrooms, and silken tofu. We have firm tofu in the supermarkets here, but if I want silken tofu I need to go to the Chinese supermarket in the next city.
I haven’t had any trouble finding Japanese ingredients in my area but I know I’m really fortunate. (SF Bay Area)
Im lucky living in southern CA so there are many Japanese ingredients here. I haven’t had to use any that I couldnt find. 🙂
There is an asian mkt by me but most of the products are from China , Vietnam and Korea. It’s very hard to find any ingredient made in Japan
Hello, I’m afraid I cannot find miso paste, I’ve scoured all my local grocery stores in the international sections.????
Thank you Nami.
In my local area it is hard to find all Japanese ingredients. Luckily every other week we visit my boyfriend’s grandparents and there is an H-Mart in town so I can get the items I am running low on.
I enjoy reading about your experiences traveling. I’m looking forward to trying the pancakes with slightly grainy texture from 7 kinds of grains. Don’t have any problems finding ingredients in your recipes.
Raw red beans, so I can make my own bean paste! In Denmark 🙂
Sometimes I’m in a rush and would love to have instant vegetarian dashi, but I haven’t been able to find any. Love the blog!
