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!
Shiso/perilla is hard to find here in the UK but seems to be in so many recipes. I can’t even seem to find seeds to try growing my own.
I am already subscribed to your email newletter (^_^)v
I find sansho pepper and bonito flakes hard to find, and kombu kelp!
I can’t find seasoning or curry mix for kids here in Denver.
Specific veggies are hard to find
Salt pickled cherry blossoms
Where I live is really hard to find sweet vinegar and good quality matcha
I have never been able to find yuzu lemons. It would be so nice to use it in making sauces and maybe even in desserts
Locally, in our small town most things are difficult to find in the shops as there isn’t much selection of Japanese ingredients sadly. We have to order online or stock up in specialist shops in London periodically! Thinly sliced meat for sukiyaki is the thing we miss most and would love to find closer to home!
Humm shiso leaves, good quality Matcha, and even Miso paste.
Love to try these ones…hope you are having a great trip!
I’m from Singapore and thankfully we are able to get most Japanese ingredients here!
love your cooking videos!
I have looked everywhere in every type of Asian store, but I have never been able to find shiso leaves!! 🙁
I love to do california roll but its so hard to find fish roll in Adelaide. We can find most of the Japanese ingredient but the brand is very limited. Sometimes you need to substitute the ingredient by buying Korean brand.
It is pretty easy to get most Japanese ingredients here, but Japanese grocery stores are not readily accessible In the east bay. I wish there was a Japanese bakery or cafe!
