I am cooking in Japan. My problem is, alot of recipes I find in my english cookbooks and online, include, cream of tartar. I cant find this in the Japanese supermarkets that I go to. Does anyone know what the japanese name for cream of tartar is?

Check the refrence

My dictionary says... cream of tartar 酒石英◆酒石�粉末��生クリーム�加�る。 (shu-seki-ei) I am Japanese. But I have never seen cream of tartar yet. Japanese might not eat ones. I have no idea insted of cream of tartar in Japan.

Actually, it's called"クリームオブタータ" (cremu obu ta-ta) in Japanese too. you can get it from yahoo japan shopping site and the price is ￥４４１(inc.tax) per 100g Try http://store.yahoo.co.jp/kitchenmaster/c02170.html Unfortunately I don't know which supermarket sells it.
