Description

“Kuki” sesame oil is produced from a blend of high-quality roasted black, golden, and white sesame seeds using a traditional process specific to the company, which involves pressing the seeds and letting the harvested oil rest for two weeks to a month before filtering it several times to remove all residue from the press. This process gives “Kuki” sesame oil its beautiful amber color and unique flavor. It is medium in intensity and has a moderate bitterness that will complement many dishes.

Flavor

It is a subtle sesame oil with a sweet and round flavor, accompanied by light toasted notes on the finish.

Kuki Sangyo
The producer

Kuki Sangyo

Present in Japan since the 16th century, the Kuki family first made a name for themselves through military exploits before settling, a few centuries later, in Yokkaichi, in Mie Prefecture. There, they traded mainly in Ako salt, which was shipped to the Kanto region. In the 19th century, the family began growing rapeseed and then built their own factory to produce oil, marking the birth of Kuki Sangyo. Thanks to the busy port of Yokkaichi, this oil was shipped to Edo. With the help of a British engineer, the company modernized its production, but a shortage of rapeseed gradually pushed Kuki Sangyo to turn to sesame oil. From the early 1950s, the company focused its expertise on sesame, developing a wide range of related products to promote its consumption. Today, Kuki Sangyo continues this passion for sesame with authentic and delicious products you can discover at Umami Paris.
