HOKKAIDO POTATO STARCH - 片栗粉 250g

Katakuriko is Japan's everyday potato starch, made here from potatoes grown in Hokkaido, Japan's largest potato-producing region. It is a fine, neutral-tasting white starch that is a kitchen staple in Japanese households.

It is most often used as a thickener for soups, sauces, and simmered dishes, giving a smooth, glossy finish, and as a light coating for meat or fish before deep-frying to produce a crisp, delicate crust.
