Mitoku Organic Kuzu is 100% pure and absolutely no potato or other starch is added, as is common with other brands on the market. Roots are the focal points of a plant's energy. This is why roots have always occupied a special place in man's diet, as well as in his medicine chest. Kuzu is revered in Japan, and uniquely honored in both high cuisine and folk medicine.

Mitoku Wild Akizuki Kuzu is completely hand-made by a centuries-old process. The wild kuzu is harvested in mid-winter, when the energy is concentrated in the roots. The roots are crushed, repeatedly washed to remove impurities, then the white starch is naturally dried for over 90 days. The result is kuzu unmatched in purity, with  superior jelling ability and an incredibly smooth texture and delicate flavor.
