Hmmm, I wonder if a little miso would compliment that PB savoriness in the way a brown butter does. It makes a weird sublime kind of sense in caramel. Might here too. Just sayin'.

Can you use only "all-purpose flour"? :)
and ordinary mild in stead of buttermilk?

Let's go back to Japan. Actually, let's just serve this on your birthday with a big scoop of black sesame ice cream and homemade mochi (makeshift tinfoil steamer?). But really, what a great looking recipe!!

Sounds like the Asian type of not-too-sweet sweets I grew up with. Some coarse salt on top might be good.
