Description

Elevate your cooking with Hokuren Katakuriko Potato Starch, a kitchen staple sourced straight from the famous potato farms of Hokkaido. In Japanese cuisine, Katakuriko (potato starch) is the gold standard for creating the signature light, non-greasy crunch found in authentic Chicken Karaage.

Pure, powerful, and versatile. We use 100% Hokkaido potatoes to ensure a pure white color and superior thickening power. This large 1kg value pack is ideal for busy kitchens and home cooks who love to fry, bake, and create. Use it to coat meats for a golden, crispy finish, or whisk it into sauces to create a beautiful, glossy shine. Because it is naturally gluten-free, it serves as an excellent alternative to wheat flour for thickening and coating, providing a smoother and lighter finish every time.

• 100% Hokkaido Grown: We source our starch exclusively from Hokkaido, Japan’s premier agricultural region, for the highest quality.

• Ultra-Crispy Results: Provides a lighter and crispier coating for fried dishes compared to standard flour.

Easy Kitchen Tips

• Crispy Karaage: For the best Japanese fried chicken, coat your marinated pieces in Katakuriko just before frying to lock in juices and create a flaky skin.

• Lump-Free Thickening: We recommend mixing a small amount of Katakuriko with cold water first to create a “slurry” before adding it to hot liquids.

• Meat Tenderizer: Lightly dust thin slices of meat with starch before stir-frying to keep them tender and help the sauce stick.

• Storage: Keep the bag in a cool, dry place. For long-term freshness, store it in an airtight container once opened to keep moisture out.

• Our Promise: We produce our Katakuriko to meet professional standards, ensuring your home-cooked meals have the perfect texture.
