Gluten Free Range

Yes. Our gluten-free ingredients are sourced directly from trusted producers in Japan who understand both tradition and dietary needs. Take our tamari soy sauce, for example: brewed near Izumo City by Igeta Shoyu, who have brewed soy sauce for generations. Their gluten-free tamari follows the same patient fermentation process as regular soy sauce, just without the wheat. 

Tamari is a type of soy sauce that originated as a byproduct of miso making. Unlike standard soy sauces, which often contain wheat, traditional tamari is brewed with little to no wheat, making it naturally closer to a gluten-free product. However, not all tamari is certified gluten-free, so we make sure to only stock products that are fully wheat-free and clearly labelled. It’s richer, less salty, and more complex than many supermarket soy sauces, which makes it perfect for dipping, seasoning, or cooking. If you’re avoiding gluten, tamari is the soy sauce you want.

Yes, you absolutely can! Start with our finely ground Japanese rice flour as a base for the batter. For best results, mix it with cold water or sparkling water, and don’t overbeat it; the batter should stay light. Fry your vegetables or seafood in hot oil and you’ll get a crisp, golden coating with none of the gluten. Serve it with tamari and grated daikon for a classic finish. Our rice flour isn’t just for tempura, either, because it works well in baking, thickening sauces, or even for dusting proteins before frying.

Traditional panko is made from wheat-based bread that’s processed into flakes and dried. Our gluten-free panko uses rice bread instead, giving you the same airy crunch with a slightly sweeter flavour and none of the gluten. It’s best used for breading cutlets, but can be used for things like topping baked gratins too. Because it’s made in Japan, it behaves just like classic panko in recipes: light, crispy, never greasy. Once you try it, you won’t want to go back!

Real wasabi is naturally gluten free, because all it contains is grated wasabi root. But most wasabi products on the market (especially the paste or powder versions) contain additives like wheat starch, soy sauce, or colouring agents that may include gluten. If you want gluten free wasabi, shop our range above, or grow your own wasabi instead! Discover our collection of wasabi plants to get started.
