This Japanese black sesame oil stands out for its deep colour, intense aroma and refined, delicate texture. Made from high-quality black sesame seeds and roasted in traditional wood-fired ovens, it delivers remarkable depth of flavour while remaining beautifully balanced.
Despite its bold appearance, the oil is smooth and nuanced, making it an excellent choice for dressings, vegetables and fish, where it enhances natural flavours without overpowering them. Its distinctive aroma also makes it highly prized in desserts and baking, particularly pastries, where it adds richness and complexity.
Produced using a carefully controlled, time-honoured method of seed selection, roasting, pressing, purifying and filtering, this exceptional oil is crafted by just 11 skilled artisans. Each is trained by the third generation of the Yamada Seiyu family, who have been producing premium sesame oil in Japan for over 100 years.
