Jinshofu (also known as Zin Shofu or Zen Shofu) is a highly refined, premium-grade precipitated wheat starch powder imported directly from Japan. Trusted by museum professionals and conservators worldwide for over a thousand years, it is the industry-standard choice for cooking traditional, museum-grade adhesive pastes.

Through an intensive double-refining and purification process, the insoluble proteins and gluten are completely removed from the starch. This unique purification prevents the dried paste from turning brittle, yellowing, or attracting pests over time. It yields an incredibly smooth, pH-neutral, and beautifully translucent paste that is stronger and significantly more flexible than standard rice starch.
