Frequently asked questions

Soy flour is commonly used in Japanese sweets like kinako mochi, where it adds a nutty, roasted flavour. It’s also sprinkled over desserts, blended into drinks, and used in baking to boost protein and add depth of flavour.

Yes. Japanese flours are often milled more finely than standard Western flours, giving them a lighter texture. They are also tailored for specific uses such as tempura batter, soba noodles or confectionery, ensuring the right consistency and taste for traditional dishes.

Soy flour is gluten-free and can be used to replace part of the wheat flour in baking recipes. It adds protein and flavour, though it works best when blended with other flours for texture and rise.

Keep flour in an airtight container in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. For longer freshness, particularly with soy flour, refrigeration or freezing is recommended to preserve flavour and prevent natural oils from spoiling.

You can purchase high-quality Japanese flour directly from The Wasabi Company. We source authentic ingredients that allow you to enjoy traditional Japanese cooking at home.
