'Meiji Essel Super Cup Kinako' Tasting Review: The aroma and gentle taste of kinako turned into ice cream

Meiji's 'Super Cup' series' first kinako flavor ' Meiji Essel Super Cup Kinako ' was released on Monday, March 3, 2025. The ice cream has a kinako-like aroma and contains cookies with a texture reminiscent of kinako. When I tried it out as part of a project to solicit ideas for new flavors, it was so delicious that it was decided to commercialize it. I was curious about the taste of the new ice cream, so I tried it.

The side of the cup explains the development process.

The ingredients include dairy products, starch syrup, sugar, vegetable oil, cookies, and soybean flour.

The calorie content is 291kcal per 200ml.

I'll open the lid and try it.

When you take a bite, the elegant flavor of kinako spreads across your tongue as it melts in your mouth, followed by a faint nutty aftertaste. Another plus is the small crushed kinako-flavored cookies that add an accent to the texture. Thanks to the smooth texture of the ice cream, even people who don't like the powdery texture of kinako can eat it without any problems, so it's recommended for both kinako lovers and non-lovers.
