Meet - Wadaman - Organic Sesame oil! This is gorgeous, rich, velvety and golden with a beautiful, fresh, nutty flavour. If all you have is a bowl of steamed rice and this to drizzle on it - you are rich. x (ok maybe also some pickles, and a dash of good tamari, (I love smoked) and maybe some Katsuoboshi). Easy to please. haha.
Why are these seeds so good? Look at the colour of them compared to the pale bags we are used to - when it comes to seeds, it really is all about the roasting. This became Wadaman obsession - roasting sesame is as important to the outcome as is the roasting of coffee beans. They roast to introduce heat on the inside of the seed which brings out the taste and aroma,
The 4th generation, president concentrated on roasting the little tiny sesame for more than 40 years however, as years have gone by, more and more seeds were imported, mainly from Africa, and today, Japan only grows 1% of the sesame they consume.
Wadaman started to seriously look at growing their own, organically again in 2010 and since then have been contracting small scale farmers to grow for them too. This is an exciting project that includes small land holders like schools etc. Check it out here.
Wadaman is in based in Osaka Prefecture, Japan and was established in Tenma 1883 (Meiji Era 16) where dried food merchants gathered to sell and trade.
Keen to learn a bit more about what this plant looks like, how it's dried etc. Have a look here.
