Kadoya Sesame Oil – Japanese Cooking Oil 70g

Kadoya sesame oil is a staple in Japanese kitchens and increasingly essential in any cook's pantry. This is toasted sesame oil — dark amber, intensely aromatic, and potent enough that a small drizzle transforms a dish. At 70 millilitres, this bottle delivers weeks of flavour.

About this product

Kadoya has refined sesame oil production since 1858. Their signature blend combines select sesame seeds roasted to unlock deep, nutty notes. The result is an oil that is neither thin nor neutral; it carries weight and character. A teaspoon goes a long way. Store in a cool, dark cupboard away from direct heat — sesame oil oxidises faster than olive oil, so use within six months of opening.

How to enjoy

• Finish a bowl of miso soup or ramen with a half-teaspoon for warmth and depth.
• Drizzle over roasted vegetables or steamed bok choy just before serving.
• Whisk into vinaigrettes for Asian-inspired salads — use sparingly.
• Use as a dipping sauce component for dumplings or spring rolls.
• Stir into scrambled eggs or fried rice in the final moments of cooking.

⭐ Why we love this

Kadoya sesame oil bridges Spanish and Asian kitchens with remarkable versatility. Since 1858, Kadoya has mastered the art of toasting sesame seeds to release deep, nutty complexity—a technique that mirrors how Spanish producers roast almonds and peppers. This is not a neutral oil; it's a finishing touch that demands respect and restraint, much like the best Spanish extra virgin olive oils.

🍷 Pairing suggestion

Pair this with Spanish seafood dishes—a drizzle over grilled scallops or octopus à la gallega elevates them with unexpected umami depth. It also complements chorizo-based tapas and roasted spring vegetables with the same sophistication as a fine sherry vinegar would bring to Spanish cuisine.

📍 From Spain

While Kadoya originates from Japan, we source this legendary brand through Spain's premier gourmet retailers, reflecting our commitment to bringing world-class artisanal producers to your table. Its presence in Spanish kitchens—particularly among professional chefs—underscores how this Japanese essential has earned a place alongside Mediterranean staples.
