Hon-kuzu (kudzu starch) Powder (20kg) is a hon-kuzu starch extracted and refined from fine domestic kudzu root, such as that grown in Yoshino and Nara. Characterized by a highly refined, beautifully white finish and a smooth, elastic texture, it forms a translucent gel when heated. As the star ingredient of summertime wagashi such as kuzukiri, mizu manju, and kuzu yokan, it has long been favored by wagashi artisans nationwide.
