Soy paper is commonly used in various sushi products and other types of spring roll wrappers or dessert wraps. Called Mamenori (まめのり), or soybean paper, these thin wrappers are used as a substitute for nori (seaweed paper).
Soy paper is not as often used as seaweed paper, but it is still pretty common, so many people are wondering . . .
Is Soy Paper Gluten Free?

Many of the Soy Paper products we reviewed did not contain wheat/gluten, but it’s still possible so always check the label or ask the chef of the restaurant serving it.
