Nisshin's karaage flour mix in its tender type (お肉がソフトになるタイプ) — from Nisshin, Japan's No. 1 karaage-flour brand at around 59% of the domestic home-use market. This variant is built on fermented seasonings and enzymes that soften the meat as it is coated, so even lean, easily-dried chicken breast fries up soft and juicy. It is a simple dust-on (まぶし) coating that stays juicy even after cooling, and Nisshin says it cooks in as little as 1 cm of oil.
About Nisshin Seifun Welna
Nisshin Seifun Welna (日清製粉ウェルナ) is the consumer-foods company of Japan's Nisshin Seifun Group — founded in 1962 as Nisshin Foods and renamed in 2022 — and its home-use ranges lead the Japanese market across flours and pre-mixes, including the No. 1 share in karaage flour at 59.0% (Intage SRI+, April 2021–March 2024). Alongside the 日清 flour and pre-mix ranges it makes the Ma-Ma (マ・マー) pasta and Aoi no Dokutsu (青の洞窟) pasta-sauce lines. (Note: "Nisshin" 日清製粉 is a separate company from "Nissin" 日清食品, the instant-noodle maker.)
What is karaage
Karaage (唐揚げ) is Japanese fried chicken — bite-sized pieces coated in seasoned flour or starch and deep-fried for a thin, crisp shell over juicy meat. It is a national home-cooking staple, and a karaage flour mix carries the seasoning and the coating in one step.
How to use & enjoy
Chicken is the usual protein for karaage, but the same coat-and-fry technique is also used for fish. It is classically served with a wedge of lemon squeezed over the pieces just after frying.
