Wadaman Co., Ltd. is located in Osaka, Japan and has been a sesame manufacturer for more than 130 years. The fourth generation owner, Etsuji Wade, has been personally roasting the seeds for over 40 years. Known as the best roaster in Japan, his skills produce sesame seeds with a delicate and nuanced flavour like none other.
Their legendary roasting process is intense and a labour of love. The sesame seeds are washed 13 times before they are roasted for exactly 92 seconds. Two roasters stand over the roast, regulating temperatures in one degree increments until the seeds reach their optimum roast. They are then transferred to a conveyor belt for separating. Specially built cameras scan the seeds, picking out the ones that do not pass quality control to be served as roasted seeds. Lasers pick these seeds off the belt to be converted into their sesame seeds and oil.
The Shoyu Sesame Seeds are part of their premium range. The golden roasted sesame seeds are in a class of their own with a distinct rich aroma, each seed roasted and puffed to perfection so you get that nice crunch with each bite.The saltiness of the shoyu combines with the rounded nuttiness of the roasted seeds to bring a burst of umami on white rice. Sprinkle on salads and miso roasted vegetables or add to dressings. We suggest using the seeds as a finishing on prawn toasts, charred broccoli, stir fried noodles or mixed with tonkatsu sauce for katsu or with chilli oil for dumplings.
