Taste of Kyoto - Sesame Experience Box - Gomacro Variety

Sesame Is the New Olive Oil.

For those who want to explore Yamada Seiyu's sesame world for the first time

ONE DROP. THAT'S ALL IT TAKES.

Extra virgin olive oil changed the way America cooks. Now it's sesame's turn. One ingredient. Zero additives. Zero chemicals. Ninety years of Kyoto craftsmanship — cold-pressed, first-press only, the way it's always been done.

Drizzle it on salads, finish your steak, dip your bread straight in. Once you taste the difference, you'll never reach for regular sesame oil again. And with a drop of Sesame Chili Oil in the box, this is also your gateway into the spicy side of sesame.

Gold Sesame Oil 275g

The crown jewel of sesame oils — this is what 90 years of Kyoto craftsmanship tastes like. First-press cold extraction only, zero additives, zero chemicals. The aroma and depth are in a class of their own. Best enjoyed raw, so every drop of flavor comes through.

①Avocado toast finishing oil — swap out EVOO, add flake salt, and you're done
②Drizzled over grilled steak or salmon straight out of the pan — same move as a great finishing olive oil
③Base for homemade Caesar dressing — whisk with lemon, garlic, and parmesan for a sesame twist on the classic

Extra Virgin Sesame Oil 275g

Unroasted sesame, cold-pressed to preserve the raw, nutty character of the seed itself. Lighter in color, sweeter in taste — this is sesame in its most pure, unaltered form. Think of it the way you'd use a great extra virgin olive oil. No additives, no shortcuts.

①In homemade hummus — swap the olive oil for this and get a nuttier, more complex result that'll make Whole Foods regulars stop and ask what's in it
②On buttered popcorn — drizzle it on, hit it with flake salt and black pepper. Better than butter. Not even close.
③Over acai bowls or smoothie bowls — a thin drizzle adds flavor and a visual finish that was made for food photography

White Sesame Paste 150g

Slow-roasted sesame seeds, stone-ground twice by hand into a silky, creamy paste. Rich, nutty, and gently sweet — no additives, nothing but sesame. The stand-up pouch means no spoon needed; just squeeze and use.

①Party dip — set it out with pita, veggie sticks, and pretzels and watch it disappear. Richer than hummus, more interesting than ranch
②Creamy pasta sauce — thin it with a splash of pasta water, add garlic, toss. Weeknight dinner done in 15 minutes
③Protein smoothie add-in — one spoonful into banana + oat milk + protein powder adds richness and keeps you full until lunch

Black Sesame Paste 150g

Same stone-ground craftsmanship as the white, but with black sesame's deeper, more intense roasted character. Bold, earthy, and unmistakably rich. A different experience entirely — darker, more complex, more memorable.

①Swirled into brownie batter before baking — the "Black Sesame Marble Brownie" is a TikTok moment waiting to happen
②Overnight oats swirl — mix in the night before, wake up to something that actually excites you
③Black Sesame Milkshake — blend with vanilla ice cream and oat milk. Starbucks already knows black sesame is having a moment. Beat them to it at home.

Sesame Chili Oil (Gomara-Yu) 60g

First-press sesame oil infused with Japanese chili and a hand-selected blend of spices. Heat, yes — but also aroma, richness, and a lingering depth that plain chili oil simply doesn't have. Zero artificial flavoring, zero preservatives, zero shortcuts.

①On pizza as a Tabasco replacement — same instinct, richer result. Once you do this, you won't go back
②On tacos and burrito bowls — Taco Tuesday just got a permanent upgrade. More complex than any hot sauce on the table
③On scrambled eggs or eggs Benedict — one drop at the end. The brunch table will ask what you did differently
