Showa Tempura flour is used for making the famous and deliciously light and crispy tempura. It is made from wheat and this is a must-have item your kitchen cupboard if you are a japan-food lover, so that you can make authentic Japanese tempura for your dinner. Showa Tempura is different to other flour as the batter is often chilled before being used to give an extremely delicate crunch which feels much healthier than normal deep fried foods.
