Heavy flour mainly used for bread or pizza dough with higher protein content than all purpose.

You can see clearly in the photo above that this is indeed bread flour but at the supermarket you won’t always have nice easy pictures to know the difference between bread and all purpose flours but the Katakana in large white letters should keep you right

All purpose flour.

Hopefully you aren’t faced with the kanji underneath Katakana in red and green block respectively !
