From Osaka's Wadaman, a sesame specialist whose roasting expertise spans more than a century, this furikake places sesame at the centre of the blend. Carefully roasted black and golden sesame seeds are combined with umeboshi, shoyu, seaweed and salt to create a seasoning that is fragrant, savoury and gently bright.

Unlike blends where seaweed dominates, the roasted sesame remains the defining character. The umeboshi contributes a clean acidity that lifts the richness of the sesame, creating a balanced seasoning that complements rather than overwhelms a dish.

Recommended Uses

  • Scatter over freshly steamed rice, onigiri, noodles, tofu, eggs or avocado toast. 
  • Works well with grilled fish, roasted vegetables and simple grain bowls, adding texture, aroma and seasoning in a single spoonful.

A versatile pantry staple that demonstrates why Wadaman has become one of Japan's most respected names in sesame.

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.
