Wadaman Sesame

Wadaman is one of Japan’s great sesame specialists, an Osaka producer with roots going back to 1883. What makes Wadaman special is not just the sesame itself, but the roasting. The company carefully sorts and cleans its seeds, then roasts white, golden, and black sesame with a different approach for each variety, drawing out the right balance of aroma, nuttiness, and depth. Their sesame pastes are ground repeatedly through ceramic grinders, and their oils are pressed in small batches for an unusually vivid roasted sesame flavor. For cooks, bakers, and pastry chefs, Wadaman sesame brings intensity without harshness: fragrant, rounded, and remarkably versatile.
