Premium sesame paste

This premium sesame paste is made in a completely artisanal way. Selected sesame seeds meet very strict criteria. Yamada Seiyu selects the best sesame seeds, which are 50% more expensive than those used by the vast majority of other craftsmen. The color, the shape, the regularity of the seeds are important. Our craftsman selects the sweetest seeds, the most aromatic and the coolest. Sesame seeds are annual herbaceous plants of the sesame family and sesame genus. There would be 3,000 crop species, each with different sweetness and aroma. The black sesame is characterized by a tasty aroma and a rich and full taste. The white sesame with a sweet taste. Sesame seeds are purchased after having met strict criteria for the commodities used, and are grilled on an open fire by craftsmen, taking into account the time and temperature of the day. For this important process, craftsmen give up tobacco and coffee to sharpen their sense of taste and smell. For the making of the dough, the first step is to roast the raw sesames in an iron pot surrounded by bricks, in the fire. This is the most important step, which affects the quality of the dough or sesame oil that will be produced. It is important to rely on the intuition of the company's roasted masters to determine the best end of roasting moment (ambient temperature affects the result). The seeds are roasted little by little, slowly. Sesame seeds have hard and fragrant skin. Do not damage it for pressing. The sesame seeds are crushed with an original stone grinding wheel, which gives off a heat of friction, and are then seven times so that the flavor is more fragrant in the mouth. The kneaded sesame seeds can only be produced by 3 kg of white sesame and 1.5 kg of black sesame per hour. Despite this, the craftsman wants to use a stone mill because it generates less heat by friction. The two-storey grinding wheel makes it possible to develop the flavor and aromas with pressing.
