Kuki Jun Neri Goma Pure White Sesame Paste 120g

Kuki Sangyo has been one of Japan's most respected sesame producers for over a century, and this pure white sesame paste is one of their most straightforward products — made from a single ingredient, hulled and roasted sesame, with nothing added. The result is a rich, smooth paste with a clean, deeply nutty flavour that is noticeably purer than blended or additive-heavy alternatives. In Japanese cooking it is the essential base for goma dare — the sesame dipping sauce used with shabu-shabu and cold noodles — and works just as naturally in salad dressings, marinades, miso soup and sweet confectionery. It can also be used in much the same way as tahini in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean preparations, or stirred into warm drinks for a nutty depth. A versatile, honest ingredient that earns its place in any kitchen that takes sesame seriously.
