Horiuchi is an edible oil production company based in Kumamoto, Japan. With over 70 years of history, they're dedicated to making healthy, delicious and nutritious oils for cooking.

To produce this dark-roasted sesame oil, Horiuchi has taken select golden sesame seeds and - rather than following the traditional method of roasting them with a high heat to immediately bring out the aroma - they've slowly roasted to the core of the seeds slowly, and then lightly roasting the surface of the seeds, in a two-step process that brings out not only the aroma, but also the original umami of sesame.

This extra-fragrant sesame oil tastes just like eating freshly ground sesame seeds, and is perfect for using as a seasoning, or combining with salt, soy sauce, and vinegar to make a simple dressing that elevated meat, salad, sashimi, tofu, and vegetables alike.

Golden sesame seeds called “kin-goma” in Japanese are the most highly praised in the market because they have a rich nutty aroma and flavor. And this oil is made by naturally extracting that great flavor from the double-roasted seeds, so you can rest assured that you'll be experiencing the authentic flavors and unadulterated nutrients of the sesame seed without added chemicals.

Instructions

Sprinkle over salads, soups, or meat dishes. Mix with minced meat and vegetables to make a fragrant dumpling filling. Combine with soy sauce, salt, and vinegar for a simple and tasty seasoning sauce.
