Sesame : time-taking, natural, manual elaboration

Yamada Seiyu products, which contain no additives, are made from rigorously selected imported sesame or, more rarely from domestic sesame grown by Yamada Seiyu itself. Step by step the Yamada Seiyu master craftsmen work the seeds by hand following an ancestral process. Long weeks are needed to roast the seed in the wood-fired ovens, press them, wash the oil, purify it, and finally filter it to obtain a beautiful, golden sesame oil sought out by the connoisseur.
