Twenty participants, including food writers and influencers, attended the event. Focusing on the use of Japanese rice flour in sweets, the event featured demonstrations on the types, functional properties and handling of Japanese rice flour. It also highlighted how rice flour is being developed for various applications beyond sweets, such as bread and noodles.
