Kinako has a more traditional flavor. Black Sesame might be an acquired taste for some.
It really does taste like sesame seeds! I enjoyed it though from first bite, and I liked it even more with these two combinations. I don't think I'd enjoy a whole scoop of the Black Sesame on its own, but with the Kinako reducing it's sesame seed flavor that might be over-powering after a few bites, it was perfect.
