Frequently Asked Questions

• Where can I find Hakubaku noodles?

  Hakubaku products are available on e-marketplaces and major supermarkets.

• I am allergic to wheat. Can I still consume barley?

  If you have a wheat allergy, there is a possibility that you might also be allergic to barley, oats and rye. As barley has an extremely similar molecular structure to wheat, it may cause an allergic reaction.

   

  You should always consult a medical expert for a professional diagnosis and confirmation of allergens.

• Can I buy Hakubaku products that are not featured on the website?

  Please contact us via the enquiry form. There are some products that we have not exported from Japan yet. High demand or requests for certain products might help to facilitate export.

• Can I cook the noodles in bulk and refrigerate them?

  The flavour may diminish. A convenient approach is to store a meal’s worth in plastic wrap or an air-tight container and place it in the refrigerator. Thaw and reheat the noodles in a microwave to soften them up again.

• What are the small spots on the surface of the Baby Spaghetti?

  Since raw wheat (durum wheat) is coarsely ground, it contains wheat bran and fragments of the hard endosperm. These are all components of raw wheat and do not indicate any problems with product quality.

• Is there any oil used in Hakubaku’s Baby Somen?

  We do not use oil in our Baby Somen.
